Hello -
Anyone out there happen to know what the shutter angle is for a Pierre Leveque LD8 Cine camera? I don't have a manual for mine - not that you'd actually need one, but I'm trying to determine proper exposure, and am running some tests, BUT it would be great if someone actually knew. I know it might be a long shot here, but you never know!
 
I have just obtained a manual for this camera, and fps exposure values are as follows:
8fps: 1/25
16fps: 1/50
24fps: 1/75
32fps: 1/100
64fps: 1/200

Yes, this is quite different than normal cine cameras of the period, where shutter angle is typically is 180 degrees. Also slightly different is that the manual says that single frame is 1/50 sec, IF frame rate dial is set to 32fps.

Hope this may be of help to someone, as it was to me!

Tony
