I knew split reels existed, but I didn't know what they were called, so thanks for clarifying that, Will. Looks like a split reel is the way to go if I'm trying to project film returned on a core. Out of curiosity, about how much would a 400' 16mm split reel cost, and are there any manufacturers or ...

Thanks to everyone for all of the help. Mr8mm, I've sent you a PM.

Hi everyone. I realize this isn't technically a super 8 question, but nonetheless I thought someone might be able to help. Do there exist 1-perf 16mm projectors, or were most of the 16mm projectors back in the day 2-perf from the factory? I'd like to shoot some 16mm B/W reversal and just project it ...

Hi everyone.

Well, after being away from the S8 hobby for a few years I'm finally getting the itch to pull out the 7008PRO and start filming again. I've been trying to catch up on all of the S8-related news that I've missed out on over the last few years, and it looks like the biggest news (for me ...

With K-14 processing coming to an end in just a few days, I thought it would be really cool if the folks at Dwayne's would put together a video or photo sequence of the complex K-14 processing sequence and post it on their website. As it's essentially lights out for Kodachrome and the K-14 process ...

It makes more sense to send the film directly to Dwayne's, rather than trying to slip it through the back door at Wal-Mart. Dwayne's needs our support to ensure that they continue processing Kodachrome and offering low-cost E6 processing into the foreseeable future. Getting them to do cut-priced ...

It all depends on the particular git that forwards it that day.

Well, evidently this is, in fact, the case. As a brief follow-up to my original message, I dropped off my E64 for processing again at Wal-Mart, and this time it returned processed...no problems. I guess the lesson is that if it is ...

Hi all.

Just curious if anyone has processed E64 through Wal-Mart recently. A couple of months ago, I had a couple of E64 rolls processed through Wal-Mart (through Dwayne's) without any problem - it came back processed about a week and a half after I dropped it off, and I was on my way, paying only ...

Hi all.

Just curious if anyone might be able to recommend a decent quality, relatively inexpensive variety of S8 projector that's relatively inexpensive and readily available on eBay. I currently have an older B&H projector, but I've started having problems with the film transport, and the picture ...

For anyone who may not have seen this yet, video of John's Academy Award acceptance speech is available here . In 2001, John was given a scientific and technical award by the Academy for his work on the AIM density system used by film labs.

I never knew John aside from reading his many informative ...

I don't go to the movies all that often, as there's very little in the way of new movies that interests me these days, but as an avid fan of The Simpsons, I did make it a point to see The Simpsons Movie yesterday. I've noticed that most, if not all theaters these days use a single film projector as ...

Good thoughts, Mitch. Actually, I do already have a Pelican case for my camera for normal storage and transportation. And yes, I do store the camera with the lens removed from the camera body, and with a rear cap for the lens and a c-mount port cover for the camera body. However, I'd still like to ...

Hi all.

I'd like to get a softshell case for my Beaulieu 7008PRO, so I thought I'd see if any other Beaulieu owners might be able to offer some suggestions. Ideally, I'd like a softshell case that is durable and of good quality, but also compact enough to be something that I can easily carry around ...

Educate yourself about walmart and you might just "figure it out."

Allright...well, in an attempt to "educate myself", I clicked on the "Walmart Intervention Project" link in Tim's signature, thinking that it might bring up a page discussing his points of view on the issue. Has anyone else ...

Just thought I'd mention that I dropped off a roll of 64T at Wal-Mart about 9 days ago and picked it up this afternoon. As with the K40 processing, the cost is only $4.88 / roll. It's great to know that inexpensive processing is once again available through Wal-Mart / Dwayne's, especially for the ...
