NON PLUS ULTRA: BAYONET M LEITZ CINEGON 10MM ADAPTED TO C MOUNT FUJICA ZC1000

Designed for the Leicina Special camera, the Leitz Cinegon f 1.8mm 10mm is the best classic ciné lens ever conceived. But how do you fit it with the best designed camera, the Fujica ZC1000? The camera is C mount while the lens is equipped with the Leica M bayonet with the Leicina prism in mind.

Twelve years ago or so, a local technician, now retired,  Mr. Baamonde, made for me, free, as  friendship, a custom made adapter to fit the Leitz Cinegon 10mm with the Fujica ZC1000.   Later,  I adapted the small Iscorama 36 to the Cinegon to film with the ZC1000 with this winner combination. In Japan, Tak reload Kodachrome film into Single-8.

The results of use together Fujica ZC1000+ Leitz Cinegon 10 mm + Iscorama 36 + Kodachrome were spectacular: A NON PLUS ULTRA COMBINATION. 
Note: The scan is from 2009, only PAL, good in those times, but not now. I will need to rescan the whole film in 4K.
More about the Iscorama system in my article in next issue of  https://silvergrainclassics.com/en/  .
