Here are the ﬂange focal distances for all the lens port available for

the XTRprod.

2.6 THE MAGAZINE

The Aaton magazine holds 400 ft (122m) of standard 16mm or

Super16 ﬁlm. Shooting at 24 fps, a 400 ft roll will run for 10.5

minutes; shooting 30 fps, the same roll will run for approximately 9

minutes. The coaxial design of the magazine allows for complete

self-contained threading, quick mag changes and a minimal amount

of loading to be performed in the changing bag. Loading the

magazine is a simple operation that, with practice can be performed

in a little over a minute. Refer to the Magazine chapter of this

manual for complete details on loading and caring for magazines.

6.1 Installing the Magazine

mags on the set. To install the magazine on the camera, situate

yourself towards the rear motor side of the camera body. If the

aperture cover plate is on, remove it. Place your left hand around

the front of the camera just underneath the lens area. Grasp the

magazine ﬁrmly with your right hand below the midway point of its

rear. While holding the camera body with your left hand, guide the

magazine along the base of the camera into the aperture area. Make

sure that the top edge of the throat of the magazine is parallel to the
