Just to help keep this section alive here are pictures of my recent acquisition. A Cinema Products model CP-16R camera with a 10mm to 150mm Angenieux zoom lens.

Nice, what kind of shutter?

Nice, what kind of shutter?

The 144 degree bowtie. The previous owner reported no smearing of the highlights. The zoom lens is nice and clear.

Looking at that reminds me of my first Super 8mm camera that I bought some 20 years ago. I never ran film through it, but it was a good learning tool for understanding the light box and mechanisms for moving the film through it.

I got the CP-16R to shoot live action with sound. I also have a Bolex Rex with an animation motor to film stop motion animation. In this picture it's shown mounted on a Quickset Hercules gear head.
