Eclair Cameras: Film Camera Quality

features and construction of the camera as it relates to ease of use and 
options that make a $40k arri better then a $3k acl? could they both not 
shoot the same quality of film if each was running correctly as they 
were intended?

I've been wondering this also.  "Leaving Las Vegas" was shot with an 
Aaton XTR Prod in Super16.  If you took an Eclair ACL and modified it 
for Super 16 and then used the same lenses that they used in the 
aforementioned film, would you end up with basically the same final 
product?  I know that the shutter angles of the XTRProd might have been 
different (although if they were either 144 or 175 that would be within 
range for the ACL in Super 16).  Does the camera really make a 
difference or is it "all in the lens"?
