I have mine pretty tricked out with studio rig, follow focus, 3-stage swing away matte box on 19mm rods, Tobin miniature motor. Next I am going to have it converted to S16mm. I don't use it that much but last summer I shot a 1/2 hour home video on cooking. The NPR, like the Leica, was ahead of it's time.
