Small cheap 16mm cameras?

Post by jessh »

There tend to be a lot of small cheap 16mm cameras on ebay, does anyone know of any of these that take C-mount lenses? I know there are models that do but I can't find any information on which ones.

Thanks,
~Jess

If you're talking about small you are probably refering to those magazine load cameras I see occassionaly. Magazines for those models are hard to find. And some Kodak models do not have c-mounts. The cheapest ones I know with c-mounts are the Keystones. I have an A-9 which is a basic 16mm camera. They go real cheap on eBay though I can't really discuss the quality of these cameras in terms of images they take. I've been mostly using Bolexes.
