They used the CP 16 a lot and that camera is a tank. I used it quite a bit in school way back in the day. A lot of them utilized the Angenieux zooms. They were pretty much like the first ENG video cams in that you could record sound through them onto the mag stripe single perf raw stock.

Plus, it looked like shit.

I worked for CBS in New York in the 60s. They shot on Auricon and had a motorcycle fleet to get the footage back by around 4PM. The Ektachrome proccessors were run at about 10% over spec temperature to shorten the processing time. VO was recorded on 16mm mag. A synchronizer was used to assemble A and B rolls which were loaded onto telecines with the VO and the 3 telecines were switched in real time for the broadcast.

The CP16 did look like rubbish using Ektachrome 260 Reversal.

What's worse, it was often telecine'd so that each grain seemed to have its own halo. I did get decent results shooting TV ads in the 80's with same camera but with slower stocks. (There was a time when TV stations were converting to video and indy film makers could pick up 16mm cameras, Steenbeck editors, as much as you could carry, virtually from the studio back door!)

I don't recall anything but zoom lenses fitted to these. (Yes, often Angenieux 17-76) They were used extensively during the Vietnam War and on Australian city streets during anti-war demonstrations.
