OK, it seems that the distance from the d-mount hinge on the 8mm camera body is 12.29mm and proportional to the back focus distance. In 9,5mm camera it isn't so. The distance from the lens mount hinge is 20mm and with some lenses the rear element sits inside the camera body. The 50mm SomBerthiot len...

Standard focal plane distance of 8mm d-mount?

Now here is question that can be answered promptly.

I just could not find the value now. For 9,5mm it is 20mm but to count how I can use those few d-mount som berthiots for 9,5mm on 8mm camera, I need the other value too. Anyone?

Super8 and Single 8. No double8. 18fps and 24fps. 100W/12V quartz-halogen lamp is fairly easy to obtain but has not a reflector of its own. The reflector in the projector should be checked prior to purchase. 1:1,3/15-25mm objective as a factory standard. A complete set should have a hard lid to cove...

Anyone having a betamax should be VERY cautious with the Betacam-cassettes. Some rare and early Betacam cassettes can be used as recording media o...

Voted the "other" otion. If I have to stick with super8, then Elmo super 104 or others with similar body construction should be my choice. Overall favorite design is 16mm Kodak K-100 turret camera, B&H Filmo 70 series models are the runner-ups. These all have te same basic functional o...
