[Author Prev] [Author Next] [Thread Prev] [Thread Next] [Author Index] [Topic Index] [Home] [Search]Andre, I have dealt with a company that specialises in adapting Leica lenses for just these types of professional cine cameras. They are called Van Diemen and have a machine shop in Leicestershire. They bought up the old stock of spares from Taylor Hobson/Cooke when their parent company, Rank, sold off surplus parts of the company in the late 1970s. their reputation is such that they had some Korean visitors the other day when I was trying to contact their MD, Mr Christopher Smith. They have repaired an old (1949) LTM Cooke Amotal 50/2 for me, though sadly they were unable to find original spares stock to use. They have a web site: www.VanDiemen-ltd.com and here is their address: 41-43 High St., Earl Shilton, Leicestershire, LE9 7DH England Their 2 e-mail addresses I have do not seem to have worked for me so I'll refrain from passing them on. Tel: 44 1455 847722 Fax: 44 1455 841224 regards, Jem - -----Original Message----- From: Andre Jean Quintal [SMTP:megamax@abacom.com] I wonder if there is a way to use Leica lenses on Arriflex or Panavision cine-cameras, out of curiosity.
