Re: [Frameworks] Simpson Optical lens quality

[Scott Dorsey]

Simpson was around in the 1940s through the late sixties, making classroom
projector lenses.  You'll sometimes see them on old 300-series B projectors.

I would strongly suggest buying a modern lens with a modern coating, at 
least late-sixties grade single-coated stuff.

A lot of it depends on what projector you have.  If you have a standard lens
mount you have a lot of choices, but if you have an old Ampro or a 300-series,
you are going to be pretty limited in what is available.

Isco has been around for a century now.  They currently make some excellent
lenses, but over the years they have made a lot of stuff that was good at
the time but not really up to modern standards.

Eiki takes a 42.5mm barrel, and will interchange with 
Bauer, Phillips, Kinoton, Meopta, and a few others.

Isco and Schneider currently make some very fine and sharp and very
expensive lenses for 42.5mm mount, but if you look around you might find
some late-model lenses out there at good prices.

In general, high end 16mm lenses are not selling cheaply on the used market
the way 35mm lenses are.  But you can call used dealers and see what they
have available that is short and sharp and well-corrected.

Re: [Frameworks] audio recorder recomendations?

[Jason Halprin]

I'm partial to the Roland R-26 as a basic field recorder with built-in
mics, XLR inputs, and phantom power. It's nothing fancy, but can handle
some abuse, and I appreciate having independent gain adjustment for the
inputs. The specs allow you to record up to 6-channels, but it's really
going to be some combination of 2 XLR OR 2 1/4" channels + stereo from the
built-in mics + stereo from a mini-plug. If you want something that will
handle more than 2 external pro mics, this isn't it.

It's similar to the Zoom H4n, which is also an OK basic field recorder w/
XLR inputs and phantom power, but which requires you to use the menu
interface to control gain during recording.

Re: [Frameworks] audio recorder recomendations?

[Scott Dorsey]

You can buy a couple cheap models from Zoom that are unimpressive but
inexpensive.,

You can buy a couple models from Tascam that are a good bit more money but
definitely have better analogue electronics.

Then you go up a huge step and you can buy stuff from guys like Zaxcom,
or Sound Devices.  This is the point where you start getting decent grade
preamps where you can afford to be sloppy with gains.

Then there's a step up from that with the Nagra and the Aaton Cantar

So... it all depends on whether you want to put down $100 or $100,000.

[Frameworks] audio recorder recomendations?

[Michael Betancourt]

I'm looking to buy an easily portable digital audio recorder, so this is an
appeal to the collective knowledge of the list. I haven't looked at what's
out there in a long time, and value recommendations of equipment that's
actually been put in use.

Doesn't have to be fancy, but an internal microphone and the ability to
pull files directly off a memory card would be perfect; to have phantom
power and xlr connectors would be a plus. I know there are lots of devices
that have this profile, but I've had bad experiences with untried
equipment. Any suggestions are greatly appreciated!

[Frameworks] Simpson Optical lens quality

[Margaret Rorison]

Dear Friends,

I am looking to get a 1" lens that I can use to project in smaller venues
for screenings.

Does anyone know about the quality of Simpson Optical lenses? I don't know
much about them and can't seem to find much info on the internet. I see
that ISCO is a quality brand, but don't know much beyond this. Any insight
would be appreciated.

thanks,
Meg
