Hi Seth,
actually the oposite of that. If you had an unmodified minolta 601 and if (as I am assuming from the super 8 database) that such a camera is indeed ordinarily capable of shooting 100d (ie it is a 25/40 and 100/160 camera), then the correct thing to do is leave the filter switch in the ...

......There are really two types of 40/160 cameras - those that are also 25/100 daylight speed cameras and those that aren't. With the former, you are right: do nothing. Indeed with the former it is wrong to follow the advice that says to switch the filter out. With these cameras it if you use a ...

........My advice would be to shoot the 100d in your R10, and just squeeze off a few feet in the Minolta on one roll before you get it processed just to confirm what it is doing.

I'm using the carts today, woohoo!! For the most part I will be using the 100D in my Nikon R10....the main reason I ...

Oh, I also meant to ask.....since the E64T was tungsten balanced, what ASA would that be in daylight? Thanks!

I finally ordered 3 cartridges of the Ektachrome 100D from Dwayne's and I need some refresher info as it's been a while since I've shot super8 :)

I will be using my Nikon R10 and my Minolta XL601.

When I was using the 64T on my Nikon I had a filter key in place and used an 85B filter on the lens ...

Oh, and also.......can someone explain the difference between a TYPE A film and a TYPE G film?

thanks again.

Not exactly...

Most 40/160 cameras are 40T/160T AND consequently also 25D/100D. Tri-X cartedge is notched as 160D, not 160T. In your camera it would be overexposed a full stop (100D instead of 200D).

If you cut the notch in the cartridge to enable the filter and read it as 160T, you will expose ...

You would probably need to switch the daylight filter off. Knowing the model you have could help others to chime in.

Oh yeah...with the Tri-X, is the 200 the ASA for artificial light and the 160 the ASA for daylight? or vice versa?

The camera is the Bell & Howell Director, Model 1206:

A friend gave me a Bell & Howell camera that only reads the ASA 40 cartridges and Ektachrome ASA 160 cartridges. I only find Ektachrome 160 carts on eBay but I noticed that the Tri-X is ASA 200/160. Would I be able to run the Tri-X in my camera and have it expose properly? Thanks in advance!

Thanks again! Here's the Minolta adjustment regarding the E64T:

Thanks for all the responses. I'm embarassed to say that I'm starting to forget some of stuff about shooting super8. Is the Minolta XL-601 a 40/160 camera? For the E64T I had made that adjustment to the light meter so it would expose properly....if I were to shoot some E100D with my Minolta now ...

Hi guys! I've been out of the loop for a while and a friend asked me if I've used the 100D yet. I had zero feedback for him.

Has anybody here tried it (super8)? What have the results been? Are there any camera mods that need to be done, or exposure compensation for certain cameras? (just like the ...

I'm maxed out on any additional editing I'm doing to this project, haha! Like most, I think I'm just happy to see the raw footage.

I gotta say, I think my favorite piece is the "I live here because I like the color Red" segment....superbly done for a project like this!

So I just made the first DVD ...

Will someone be able to put something up on Vimeo?

This is taking me forever and besides I don't really need the "original" files. Just a viewable copy.

I've got it downloaded and I've edited the jump cuts and weird transitions out and deleted the duplicated segments. I kept any of the light ...
