Councils for one optimal domestic conservation of the films:

Storage your films:

1) to the dark;
2) in a cool and dry place ; if you have the doubts (above all for humidity, you can't feel it), measured the temperature and the rate of relative humidity with a digital thermometer/hygrometer ...

Hi Robert,
excuse if I answer you in delay.

I have read with attention the test of H. Wilhelm, and its data confirm mine about the duration in the time of the Kodachrome and the Ektachrome: you comprehend that its tests have been execute to these conditions: temperature of 24 °C and 40 ...

Sooper8fan,

Yes Sooper8fan, it is Ektachrome 64T

the K40 issue is dead. Nothing more to say here. Grieve and move on.

The K40 still is not died: it will be still found in commerce for various months in the S.8 format, in various lengths: from the classic cartdrige 50 feet, in roll of 200 feet, roll of 400 ...

Hi guys,
reply to this post with your preference, thanks.

For my next shooting, I prefer to use:
1) Kodachrome 40 (I will have images of excellent quality, with images and colors that will last all the life, 60 years and beyond) *;
2) Fuji Velvia 50D (I will have images of excellent quality ...

Ciao Filman,
la mia era solo una prima considerazione, dato che non ho capito come e dove l'hai girato, stò cartdridge di K40. Per la mia esperienza, molto S.8 e ultimamente anche 16mm in Kodachrome, come giàdetto mai nessun problema, ad essere pignoli in un'occasione c'è stato un certo ...

i just received my first K 40 (3/2006) from Lausanne, (after years of shooting in 16mm), and i am very disappoint : the film look as faded, with coarse grain and a very flat color dynamic range. This cartridge has been put before in a Nizo 800 then in a Nalcom 1000, with the new metallic pressure ...

Fully agreed with you, Mr. John. 8)

Hi Mitch,

I know the dispute of Martin Scorsese with the Kodak...But he can save her films printing they on 3 master b/w (Estar base) with color separation (this method save the color film for about 500 years in normal condition of storage- domestic storage-). Unfortunately, I can not make it ...

I plan on releasing a few DVD's in a volume like format. 1940-1950, 1950-1960, 1960-1970, 1970-1980 and so on. Eventualy I will move up to transfering more modern media likeVHS, Hi-8 and MiniDV

This solution (media video) is optimal for short-medium period, for an more long conservation of your ...

Earlier this year I telecine'd several thousand feet of negative from the 70's and 80's that transferred without problem. Plenty of E-4 Ektachrome too, lots of that had faded. But negative seems to hold up better than Ektachrome over time.
Do you considers but that in the telecinema automatically ...

Don't concern yourself too much with its demise. With your talents you should be moving right to 16mm negative, and finding someone to pay you to do so .
Audadvnc, thanks.
Not, the photogenic male talent he is a South American actor with I have shot various shortmovies (many of the frames here of ...

Camera: an "old" Beaulieu 5008 (acquired on E-Bay).
Scanner: Canon Canoscan 5200 F: this scanner does not have adapters for S.8 frames, also this scanner is very economic, therefore the result of this scanning are rather "approximate" (the original frames are more clear and better quality).

They ...

Ektachrome 64T, Velvia 50D, VISION2 50D, ok, will be also good for the quality of the image, but their duration in the time? Used these films and between little years you will have images faded and with chromatic dominant. If this is good for you... you do not believe instead that we must make ...

Force boys, we do not give ourselves already for beaten before beginning... We try, what us cost? We are still in time in order to make to feel our voice. And we are in many, therefore is ok try to make it.

Thx.
