Discovered it is a Sound /Silent model; you just swap belt pulleys in the back (thought it was for 60/50Hz but mistaken) but as it's only got a 2 blade shutter there quite a lot of flicker on silent mode. They actually make a 5 blade shutter for Eikis with just thin open slits for copying on to a camcorder without flicker, but it cuts down the overall light by a lot.
