We ordered the FocusScan CKX-2, 16mm projector/recorder and received it only a couple of days after we ordered. We needed the equipment quickly and focuskye was able to help us out. So far we've been extremely pleased with the quality, ease of use, and transfer quality. We look forward to purchasing more from focuskye. 10/09/2014

Chin....... I have to say..... I think you are so amazing! I just hooked up the 5 blade system and ran a little film through it. You are just simply amazing! I love what you have done. This is such an amazing system and the work you have done to create this masterpiece of a transfer system is simply beautiful. I already have one of your 8 mm transfer systems and I am not surprised that you did an even better job with 16 mm. I can't thank you enough for you attention to detail and quality....... YOU'RE THE BEST!!!!!

I have been very pleased with the Transfer Unit from FocusScan and recommend it to anyone looking to get the most from their film transfer.
I transfer film to DVD for a living and cannot believe how sharp and bright the picture is.
The led light source is the only way to go.
Many thanks

It is one of the finest buys I have ever made - Sincere thanks !!
Buyer: 16mmreeldeal, Elmo 16mm(CKX) New S. Wales, Australia May-23-2012I personally spent months of my time, energy, money and expertise along with over 200 hours in testing to ensure that my system produces the best possible transfer quality.
The System includes:
- Custom Modified ELMO(16-CL) M & O PROJECTOR: (US Patent Pending)
All projectors are custom modified with more than 20 custom made parts and over 30 modifications to improve quality of image transfer and solves all known issues with other Company's systems on the market.
Special Features:
- Based on ELMO 16mm 16-CL Magnetic & Optical Sound Projector ( Made in Japan)
- Real Time Transferring ( Optical Multiplexing, Built-In Full-HD Camera) 16mm Sound and Silent film to NTSC HD Video
- Progressive method to record twice as much image data as the interlace method. Whereas interlacing requires two images to produce a complete picture, the progressive method records a single image as a complete picture. Plus, the 24 Progressive Recording produces 24 images per second. This extremely dense image information creates intricate detail and silky smooth motion. Even when subjects move quickly, afterimages are minimized to create more natural images. The progressive method is most effective when shooting detailed designs where moir patterns tend to occur, or when capturing scenes during sports events where the subjects are intensely moving around. Also, the recorded images are displayed clearly even when they are made into still images, so it is possible to preserve stunning photos when clipping them from videos.
- ELMO designed 100% Flicker-Free Shutter Blade
- Sync Control for Ghost/Scan Line-Free
- New Image Catcher Box VM-4 ( Minimized True Optical Multiplexer)
- Successfully Minimized Optical Multiplexor Unit!! (Patent Pending)Much better than any other methodNo more Upside Down Image!

Q: What is Achromatic Lens?
Achromatic Lens Assembly An achromatic lens assembly ensures that all colors are focused at the same point. Achromatic assemblies are particularly good at compensating for chromatic aberration, an optical effect that can be seen as color fringing in the image, usually at high contrast edges. They also improve spherical aberration, an effect where a white point is projected not as a point but as an out of focus blurb.
Optical Dispersion of a single lens bends different colors at different angles. When a beam of light passes through a single lens, the different colors are bend at different angles based on their wavelengths (called dispersion), and the lens will focus the different colors at different points. The result is chromatic aberration, an unwanted color ringing that will lower the lens' resolution and that is also problematic in special effects matting and blue and green screen working a two lens achromatic assembly, one lens is compensating the dispersion introduced by the other. For such purpose, one lens is usually made in a crown glass with low dispersion, while the other is made of a flint glass with high dispersion. The crown lens performs the desired optical effect (for example magnifying an image) and introduces some dispersion, and the flint lens aims at balancing this dispersion while having the least possible optical influence itself.
Q: Why I use ELMO 16mm (Elmo 16-CL) projector?
A: The Elmo projector is The Best, all professionals are looking for Elmo projectors. The Elmo is much better than Eiki in both build quality and performance. The durability, ease of use and projection results are far better than anything else on the market. This is essentially the Lexus of film projectors.
Q: Why don't you use new projectors?
A: We would like to use a new projector but no one makes new projectors anymore. We've found that these projectors work just as well after our thorough refurbishing process. And a new projector would only drive up the cost for you and I'm committed to giving you the best value for your money. The entire unit is completely refurbished prior to modification with all metal film surfaces professionally polished, belts replaced and all moving parts cleaned and lubed.
Q: Do I need a computer or software to adjust the image?
A: No, you can control the dimmer to adjust for optimal brightness for both over and underexposed film. You could use programs such as Pinnacle Plus or any video editing program on the market for more fine adjustment with a computer.
Q: What if I need more help setting up or transferring my film?
A: I offer FREE email support to answer any questions you may have about setting up and using your new transfer system.
