[rollei_list] Re: Lachaize - MECILA Mag 150 for Rolleiflex TLR

Hi Carlos,

Thanks for that.

It is the French one I was asking about but I did not know that there was an 
American one too. According to my information is was made by P.Lachaize with 
the trade name MECILA: MEcanique CIné... LAchaize.

I will send you an image of a sales leaflet which I copied from the web, the 
quality is not good though.

Best wishes

John

Hi John:
         I guess you are talking about the 70mm magizine made by Cine Mechanics 
Los Angeles, there was a topic about it some months ago, I wrote:

 I found some info about it and two photographs in the Report 4, it was made by 
Cine Mechanics. The main problem with this magazine was the film broad, 70mm; 
the Rolleiflex film guidance free space is between 69.8mm to 69.9mm and then 
the film was curved 0.5mm toward the lens on the film focal plane due to the 
lateral upsetting with effect on the picture sharpness. Rollei considered this 
back an interesting design but " no recommendable" for this reason.-

There also was a 150 Mag made by Flashpot Paris, it used a 10 meter roll film 
61.7mm width:

All the best
Carlos
