Kinor

The Kinor company of Russia (Kinor-Cinema) is a manufacturer of high definition cinematography equipment and a former manufacturer of 35-millimeter and 16-millimeter movie cameras, most notably the 16SH-1M and 16SH-2M 16mm cameras. Using a German lens manufacturing process, the resulting product was of a high grade with low mechanical noise and cartridge loading film.

Technical data

The 16mm Kinor 1M has a turret-type lens mounting and a variable shutter. The 2M and the rare 3M models are supplied with a 10-100 zoom lens, which has front- and rear-mountable filters. The usual kit consists of four magazines, three 100-foot, and one 400-foot. Synchronized sound is achieved using a sync-pulse known as a pilot tone, and the motor generates an accurate 25 frames per second to attain this. Variable frame rates require a relatively cheap modification form third-party developers, or the factory-produced variable drive unit. This is very quickly and simply replaced. It is common to see this type of modification coupled with the addition of true crystal-sync.

The cameras’ use in the West is gaining popularity as filmmakers grow accustomed to Russian manufacturing quality. Compared with the Krasnogorsk series of Russian cameras, the build quality is of a higher standard, although these too are well-designed units. Their price compared with the benchmark Arri series film cameras is drastically cheaper; this is partly the reason new filmmakers are finding themselves the owners of these very practical film cameras.

The 35-millimeter Kinors are self-blimped and have been used to make films worldwide.

gollark: I wanted a hyperapp-like state management thing with no view for skynet (it's a long story...) so I made this, because Javascript microlibraries are trendy.```javascriptconst R = require("ramda")module.exports = (initialState, actions, context = {}, expose) => { let state = initialState const wired = R.map(action => (...args) => { const result = action(...args)(state, actions, context) if (typeof result === "object") { state = R.merge(state, result) } }, actions) if ("init" in wired) { wired.init() } if (expose) { return R.pick(expose, wired) } else { return wired }}```
gollark: Er, how do I uninvert it?
gollark: It's to help users by emphasising the idiomatic bottom-up approach involving making programs from small composable functions.
gollark: Ours is upside-down, though.
gollark: I found an upside-down mappings table somewhere, which ought to help.
