Re: Super 8 and airport x-ray machines

I second that.
My 20 rolls of E64 went through xray machines 12 times from Sweden to Mozambique (and back again) witout any fogging or problems. Just take them with your hand baggage and youre safe!

Re: Tri-x test with canon 814az

As the blueness and the lack of contrast of the film already were pointed out for you, I might add that some shots were a bit underexposed for my taste. Some details on the building were too dark. Try to take advantage of the whole grayscale when shooting B/W. It might be the screen I'm watching it ...

Re: Shutter problem with my Beaulieu

Re: Some of my super 8 footage online for the first time

I liked it! Very nice and creative.
What did you expose for, when you shot the sunset? Did you lock the f-stop?
Im going to do a timelapse using super-8, soon. Any special advice?

Could Andec Filmtechnik process this ...

Haha, that is also true. :)
I was wondering about the grip on the Beaulieu;
it looks quite uncomfortable...is it?
