What does RX mean on a lens?
It means the lens is specially made for the H16 reflex. The reflex prism means that a standard C-mount lens should not be used on the camera, at least not for normal and wide-angle lenses. Therefore, there is a range of C-mount lenses for the reflex cameras. Do not attempt to use a non-RX lens of focal length less than 15 mm. There is a range of C-mount lenses for the H8, marked H8RX. Although these are C-mount, they cannot be used on the H16. Can I convert my non-reflex H16 camera to a reflex? No. What you can do is buy a C-mount lens with built-in reflex viewfinder. Although made for the H16M (which has only one lens mount), the reflex lenses (all zooms) can be used with the turret models as well. However, these lenses are not cheap. You will be most unlikely to save any money by buying a non-reflex camera and a reflex lens, and you may have a problem locating a suitable lens. The reflex lenses are also quite big and heavy. I want to fit a motor. Which one can I use? The MC-17 motor
