  PL mount Ultra  16  Krasnogorsk-3 16mm Movie camera  K3 K-3 Meteor 5-1 17-69mm f1.9 zoom lens The camera is converted to Ultra16 (1.85:1 ratio) film format . CLA'd. Cleaned, lubricated, adjusted. An Arri PL mount was attached to the camera like ARRI, Aaton, Alexa, Amira, Red, Canon, Blackmagic, Sony, Leica, Carl Zeiss, Angénieux, Cooke and others lenses with PL mount. The camera and lens has been checked, serviced and set correctly. Loop formers are removed. The viewfinder is adjusted. The "Ultra-16" format is also a production format and differs from the "Super-16" in the symmetrical arrangement of the frame relative to the film. The frame "Ultra-16" is obtained by increasing the standard by 0.77 mm on each side in width. In this case, the corners of the exposed area partially overlap the perforation. Useful frame area with aspect ratio 1,85:1 occupies the entire height between perforations and is 11.8x6.25mm. It is possible to print cassetted film copies optically, as well as to receive high-definition video in 16:9 format.  The advantage of the format lies in the simpler alteration of standard filming equipment than for the "Super-16" with the same frame area. With the Ultra 16 format, you can use a film with both single-sided and double-sided perforations. A regular viewfinder can be used for framing, since the frame window is bored symmetrically. All 16mm optics without lateral displacement of the mount remain usable. The optical axis remains in the same place! Moreover, viewing the resulting film is possible with a standard film projector with a slight cutting of the image on the right and left, and after finalizing the film channel, the frame is visible in its entirety. Kranosgorsk works in all conditions, in cold, heat, rain and dust. This good camera for travel, expeditions, and in a war zone. The supplied zoom lens is of extremely high quality and is sufficient for almost any recording situation. Any Pentax screw mount lens will work on the K-3, so you can use any 35mm SLR lens on your K-3. The K-3 has been adopted by many film schools, including the University of Southern California's School of Cinema and Television. It has a semi-automatic diaphragm setting. Its low price, rugged construction and sophisticated optics have made it very popular with both beginning filmmakers and professionals. Among the K-3's credits are music videos for the Spin Doctors and Suicidal Tendencies. Director Spike Lee shot some of the footage in his film Get On The Bus using a K3. There is a photo of Spike holding a K-3 on the cover of the soundtrack CD.
