Welcome to my16mm.com, this site is an archive of documentation, primarily camera manuals, for 16mm film cameras. It has existed for 20+ years and is used by film students & teachers, independent filmmakers, historians, and others.
As so-called AI generated media continues it's assault on our lives, driven by unknown influences & algorithms and corrupting our genuine connections; human-created storytelling will become more and more important. To share genuine connection, inspiration and human condition, a film-to-projector story, without any digital tooling, is provably uncorrupted - and therefor potentially humanity-saving.
Make film, stay human.
If you have documents that should be on this site, send them to rwells@my16mm.com
Low profile and portability not only gives the ECLAIR ACL camera an elegant appearance, but it is a practical feature which enables the cameraman to take pictures while in a very confined space. The ACL rests low on the shoulder; in fact wherever there is headroom there is space for him to operate his camera.
This self-blimped quiet running camera permits candid shots and unselfconscious action.
