Ok, I'm going to save a little money and do this right then, H-16 reflex is more than likely my choice. I already was looking at the adapters for SLR to c mount because have a 200mm Pentax lens with Pentax tele-extender attachment already so I was hoping to use that (i'm maybe slightly reluctant to ...

Thanks Richard you've put several things into perspective for me, however, I do have a few questions. I'm probably going to be using an extreme lens in some cases 300mm to even 400mm I want to film surfing and you usually get the best shots from a distance at a higher elevation plus some of the ...

your correct there is a later model that allows you to move the lens over to focus and then move back to the camera body after it's set I just found some info on that after you posted. Seems good enough.

eveready batteries no dice, I'm thinking this cam is shot. I spoke to the camera store and they will refund me 100% or find me something from the store to trade for so thats good news at least.

Thanks for all your suggestions and help!

thanks my issue is that the distance markings are often limiting because I'll be using lenses as large as 300mm the distance markings only go to 150 ft or so, some of my subjects may be 300 feet or more away. Thats my concern.

Anyway I'm sorry about two posting for the same topic the site was ...

@ richard p. t., I will be shooting subjects from an average of 50 to 300 feet away and they will be moving subjects. I'm going to be using a telephoto so thats why I was thinking about using a SLR to get the focus right.

@ Will2, I agree that I probably should just spend the money on a Reflex ...

I have been tossing the idea around of buying a 16mm non reflex camera to get my feet wet with 16mm film but keeping it low budget to start. My main issue with these cameras (Bolex H16 nnon-reflex or B&H Filmo 70) is the fact that they are non reflex.

I was thinking about focusing by just using ...

Thanks I'm going to try these suggestions and get back to you guys with the results. Thanks again!

the battery holder is a little red plastic rectangular box with a threaded rod running through the center which connects to a little hand nut at the end basically holding the two ends together. I was using duracell copper top batteries do you suggest a battery manufacturer with a better fit? Also I ...

First of all Merry Christmas!!

now with that being said I have been wanting either the Leicina Special or Super for a while now and my girlfriend wanted to surprise me for Christmas. Unfortunately she's not the type to research anything before jumping in and going for it and she bought me a Lecina ...

Anyone have a nikon service manual for the R10? I called nikon and was the laughing stock heheheh... the most anyone knew about it was that it's "Old". I need to know the pinout for the multi pin connector which controls the remote features. A friend of mine and I are working on a project and we ...

nice, so I guess ithis confirms my idea that when the switch is in the on position it just completes the circuit and redirects power to the shutter as if you were pulling the trigger on the pistol grip. Thanks everyone I'm going to take a stab and soldering up my own connector with switch and see if ...

I see a few "electromagnetic" remotes for sale on line which are rated for bauer cameras but since It's basically a 25mm TS connector can I not just wire up a simple switch and make my own remote control cable or does it require some amount of voltage to make it work? I am thinking it works via ...

Thanks for the info now I guess the only issue will be finding the remote cable.
