    [WTB] Schneider Cine-Xenon 35mm, 75mm in Arri Standard Mount

    Not in a rush, but if someone has these and doesn't need them, I'm trying to complete a set. Non-rehoused only please. Looking for late serials. Also, if someone has a 16mm t2.4 Mk1 Zeiss standard speed I might be looking for one of those, too...

    Looking for a OKC3-22-1 2/22mm in OCT18 mount from the 1980s ideally. Non-rehoused. If someone owns a few and wants to sell me their second-favorite sample or something that would be much-appreciated. Also looking for a 75mm Schneider Cine-Xenon–but only if the price is right.

    Storing Vintage Lenses to Avoid Fungus and Haze

    I have a humidity controlled cabinet that I'm currently using, but I'd like to be able to store lenses safely when away from home. I'd rather just leave them in Pelican cases than cram them in a small locker. What's my best bet? Pelican cases with these things in them...

    4x4 filter systems compatible with cinema filters?

    I'm already the worst for asking so many odd DIY questions like this, but I have a 4x4 filter system for my Canon 7-63mm t2.6 lens and I tried fitting its matte box on my 12-240mm Angenieux zoom and... it doesn't fit! They're both 95mm front threads I think, so that's disappointing. But I want...

    Inexpensive Zooms

    Hi everyone, I'm looking for inexpensive zooms that will intercut with the following: Zeiss Standard speeds. Cooke S3s and similar. Canon FD Primes. Could be one zoom that's of a similar vintage to all those, could be a few. The look doesn't have to be the same, but it has to feel similar...

    Slightly Stiff Focus Rings

    I have some vintage*cinema lenses (Arri Standard mount and Arri Bayonet mount) and while some have perfectly smooth focus rings, others are stiff. I plan to get the really stiff ones and any lenses with oily aperture blades or other issues serviced, but there are a few lenses that are stiff but...

    Where to buy Speedrail locally?

    I own and plan to travel with a Dana Dolly but... Speed rail is too big to bring with me. Where do you buy it locally when in a new city? Does Home Depot carry something close enough?

    Matchmoving Difficult Handheld Shots

    There's a lot of stuff, particularly handheld long lenses with most of the frame out of focus, where I just think–how did they match move that? So... how do they match move it? I saw a few shots like this in Black Panther. Are there any ways to assist the camera? Something like a SteadXP or...

    Miller Toggle Tripod User-serviceable?

    One of the plastic pieces of my Miller tripod (toggle 2) is broken and I know Miller sells these parts. However, I'm wondering if it's user-serviceable in the first place and, if so, how? Do I need to bring this thing in for repair or is it possible to swap the part myself? It's on the second...

    Intercutting between vintage and modern lenses

    I might need to intercut between a Sigma 18-35mm f1.8 and some old Nikon lenses. I realize this won’t be as big as the difference between Cooke S3s and Master Primes… but having worked separately with both of those I am a little worried… Obviously some of the heavy lifting will be done in post...

    I have some gear (LED panels, sandbags, dana dolly stands, etc.) that I would like to ship from the east coast to the west coast. But the cost of shipping seems to be higher than the cost of selling and then buying again new. Anyone know an affordable ways to ship gear? It's not a lot so...
