Sorry for the crappy digistills.

I'll see what I can do tonight. You might have to wait for some AA batteries to charge and I'm not sure where I can upload the pics, but I'll do what I can.

No I've never had any film telecined yet. Hopefully after I shoot my K40 I will have some telecine done, but with regards 16mm, I've never shot any yet.

I've been quite ill for a long, long time. I was bedridden for months, and my G.P. said that I'd either just get better or I might never get better. It was over 1 1/2 years before I got better again and I was better for most of this new year, but then I caught flu a couple of weeks ago and after I recovered from that I succumbed once more to my former illness.

I'm a bit depressed about it all but each day I hope I'm going to recover.

Anyway, I'm not even planning to shoot my 16mm film till after I run out of K40.

It all depends on how much film I get shot this year.

To a certain extent 16mm film just looks like 16mm film anyway, it depends more on the lenses than on the actual camera.

Thanks for the pictures! Do you have a zoom lens on the top there?
I assume that the viewfinder is like on the 240EE and takes varioous finder lenses (bit pointless on the EE as you can't change the lens!), or is that a dogleg zoom?

I'm trying to make sense of what I'm seeing but it certainly does seem to have a cable release thing that sticks out. My EE definitely seems to have nothing like that sadly unless there was once something attached to the little lever.

The lens is an Angenieux zoom 8- 64mm pulled from a non-functional Beaulieu S2008 I had. Filed off the broken reglo-matic zoom motor to get it to fit. As for the shutter release socket on the 240, my friend has the 240TA I believe. His socket was sealed with a counter-sunk screw which can easily be removed.
