Thanks for the C mount and Beaulieu lens overview. Regarding my last post, lens works fine, but not the body.

Re: Beaulieu-Optivarion 1.8 6-66 Lens Question
Eventually got a Rainbow TV Zoom lens H6X8-II 8-48 1:1.0 Lens (C Mount 1/2"). Focuses to infinity, and generally seems ok to me. It's not auto aperture, but it's ok since cost about a third of what i paid for the 2008S camera. The camera also didn’t come with a battery, so I powered the camera ...

Re: Beaulieu-Optivarion 1.8 6-66 Lens Question
The 1.4 / 6-70 Beaulieu-Optivarion arrived, mated with a Beaulieu 5008S Multispeed. This lens does not fit properly onto the 2008 S. It rotates ok then stops with the lower motor too far blocking the shutter button hole. I found a broken 8.5mm 2/3" Cosmicar CCTV lens at a local flea market, tha...

Beaulieu-Optivarion 1.8 6-66 Lens Question
What's the story with the motors on this Beaulieu-Optivarion 1.8 6-66 Lens? Sometimes I see them with none, sometimes two, while this example has one.. Is the top one zoom, and bottom one aperture control? I'm shopping for a lens for a 2008S automatic that I paid £$€ 55 plus postage. Gianni B-) s-l1...

16mm Transfer Grading, Pay or Play?
Grading, do I pay for professional "Grade" together with the 16mm film transfer which costs almost as much as the transfer, or do the grading with software after the scan on the pro res files? Apologies for not searching the forum or Google prior to posting this.

Re: The 16mm to HD, 4K or 2k Question
Thanks again, I would rather trust your personal experiences than a half hour of google searches (which I did btw). At this stage for archival purposes, since we have the films, I'm suggesting a 2k scan, and keep the films in storage another five years or so and scan again when the 4K transfer price...
