35mm motion picture telecine adivse. Please help.	Can't Post

I am attempting to fabricate my own telecine for 35mm film.

I have most of the equipment needed but am seeking advise and information on HD camera.

Also, recommendations on lens types.

A videocamera will have to be able to optically focus onto the frame of 1910s - 1920s 35mm film. Some of the film will have slight warpage. As a result, the focus depth of field must remain sharp with depth fluctuations of + or - 3 or 4 millimeters.

This will be used to transfer rare public domain films that I cannot project.

Can anyone help with suggestions?

Is this the best videouniverstiy forum to inquire?

Write to this fellow: moviestuff@sbcglobal.net

I'm no expert on this, but I expect that he'll tell you to look for an "aerial" lens, one that will focus the film image right into your video camera.
