That's a nice compact sized reflex zoom. Good luck on your trip to South America. I hope you get some great footage. Hope to see some of it someday.

Dam, Dom, my most humbel appostlitories. I thought you and Clive were, like, the same guy. Learn somethin' new every day... and thanks for posting the Eyemo & Filmo info pages.

Thats a good idea. I keep trying to buy a second one (70dr) but they seem to be pretty valuable. Ive got a shoot coming up this fall that I want to be able to use it on. Thanks for the great pictures. Good luck on the trip south. When are yall going??

Here's a pic of the 70DR that started this thread. I took the lens to Georgia with me and cleaned it up. I had to modify the mount to get it to work on the Filmo. It's just too dang heavy to use though and I think I need to make a support for the lense.

The first Filmo I ever owned I modified by carefully drilling a hole in the lens turret to match up exactly where the little focusing viewer on the right hand side of the camera has its port. This port is tapped and by making a proper bolt with a shoulder on it to snuggly fit the hole I drilled = makes for a turret lock for use with a heavy zoom. I used the very same Pan Cinor 17 - 70mm zoom lens. Too heavy to use normally as it wants to rotate the turret just from its shear weight.

Yes, I can tell you know what you're talking about. This is the same problem Ive run into with the weight. Thanks for the tip. I better take care of it while I still have a shop set up.

Great idea.

Thanks Steve for posting the link. I'm looking forward to viewing it. It's a pretty big file for my dial-up out here in the sticks but I'll see what I can do to let it d/l while Im at the studio later today.

Steve, looks great! To be able to take a B+H Filmo that is older than you and run the latest film stock in it for high def images, is just too cool! The Vision 2 50D is one great looking film stock.

Steve, I downloaded your file but it has no extention. (You prolly made it on a mac) my PC doesn't know what it is, is it an AVI, WMV, MOV? Thanks! Can't wait to see it!!

It is a nice example of Filmo footage. What is/are the lenses?

Post by **flatwood** » Thu Jul 27, 2006 4:30 pm

Drat!!! After almost three hours of dial up download my connection timed out with about 1.5 meg to go so I havent had a chance to view it. Ive got a Wild Blue internet satellite system going in at the Georgia digs so that will help out for stuff like this once I get moved.

The still photo has a great look to it. I love the lens and am wondering if its the Angenieux zoom??? Maybe Ill try the download again tonight. Thanks for posting it and I hope to view it soon.

It's an Angenieux 17 - 68 zoom with reflex focusing. The same lens pictured in the pornographic camera pictures I posted earlier in this thread..

Thanks. I'll have to keep my eye out for one of those lens. I love the softness of the OOF background, nice.
