Filmshooting

Thanks again.

Looking at the traslated pages, two things came to mind.
1, was the "focus gap" thing as the new fim is thicker, but was that for projection or filming? Also with the thicker film we only get 2min and 40 secs. I asume that is at 18 fps and not 24.?

2, with the markings on the cartridge for 25, 50 ...

Now that is what I call a clear answer, thanks

Regarding the single 8 version of this film, the Velvia 50D. What single 8 cartridges to they use for this 50 asa film, the 25 or 200 asa notched ones? Will my ZC1000 know this is a 50 asa speed film? What did you guys do who tried it, just under expose or use the variable shutter ?

and... What's ...

I think other films are already available for single 8 like the velvia 50. Also, I remember retro in Japan saying to me in an email a few months ago that even if Fuji stopped, they had plans to produce carts with other film in them.

I will be carefull of RX lenses less then 50mm on the Fujica as Lunar07 warns. Is the 50mm "on the limit" so it might work if not wide open? (I have a nice 50mm Schiender RX :wink:)

As an aside, I have used a 12mm non RX on the bolexRX and not had focus problems due, I think, to the large depth of ...

Has anyone used Bolex Prime lenses on a Fujica ZC1000 ? If so were they the RX or normal ones?

If you need to raise the price of the subscription to keep going I'm sure many of us will still support it.

I trecked to the Everest base camp, bloody cold, hard to walk, hard to breath sometimes. I'd take my Bauer Mini, keep it in my pocket and never take my gloves off to have to focus. I had it with me in the Swiss alps skiing last year, it was cold and never failed. Film looked great.

Why would a neg film benifit more then say K40 ?
and
If the pressure plate would make a difference why wouldn't more people jump on single 8 ?

I'ce been shooting some tests with my camera's to see which produces the sharpest image. I tried ...
Nizo 6080
Beaulieu 5008
Quartz 18xS-2
Eumig nautica
Bauer mini
Sankyo EM 40XL
So far the Beaulieu looks much sharper then the rest, except that with the lens open its so hard to focus that most of it ...

No, not really, but you will get (sometimes) a picture improvement.

Do you mean a picture improvement over the single 8 with the pressure plate ?

I get crisper images when I use a Beaulieu which I think is because of the shutter system they use (not sure) I was thinking that this plate may have the same effect. ??

Has anyone tried these metal pressure plates you put in a super 8 cartridge ? They are ment to improve the image. You can see a picture of one if you scroll down this page...

oh.... and congradulations on the baby. Mine still has 6 months before it pops out of my wife. I hope it's not like the batterie exploding out of the beaulieu.
