RE: Eclair ACL ACL Adapters and lenses

[valexander@stan.csustan.edu]

Hi, Guys

Okay, I understand. I'll have to wait. I'm glad there is this option. Before
I make a feature film in 16mm again, I'll just have to go with Schneiders
and the adapter. Also I'll use a slow film. I definitely want to blow up the
result. I have my own blow up printer, so that's something I've always
wanted to do.

I'm wondering about the glass now. I remember that the NASA program
mentioned at one point that fabulous lenses can be manufactured for
scientific use in the weightless state in space. I don't think I'll be
ordering any such lenses in the foreseeable future [LOL], but I'm wondering
about the glass in the lenses, coating and exactly what makes one lens
better. It can't be just how old the design is. Lenses have been with us for
a long time and there have always been great lenses.

Cordially

Vic

 Vic & Ray ,
 As Ray pointed out , the Arri Standard Adapter is one hell of a piece of
work .The only reason that I am offering it at the price I said is because I
will do a run of 6 or so , & hope to sell more than 1 .If I only sell 1
tough !.No way could I reduce the price .

 On another note , answering both your questions., the other type adapter ,
which is a Cameflex - Arri Adapter , is both a Bayonet & Standard fitting .
The bayonet twists in as per the Cameflex , & the Standard is retained by
screws . Eclair used to make it .
 I make them in batches of 20 , & they sell steadily .
 The pice is £190.00 = $266.00 less 20% = $212.00

 To make a moount to accept both mounts like the SR would be astronomic.
 Arriflex make a PL - Arri Bayonet/Standard for about $1500.00 . The ACL
version would be about the same , & just like the Arri one , probably
wouldn't work very well either.
 If you have both types of Arri mount , I would advise 1 off Arri
Standard - ACL Adapter + 1 off CA! Adapter.
