Hello.

I have a couple of open Kodak 200' cartridges: I can take pictures for you, just PM me your email address with a general idea of what you would like to see.

Thanks to everyone. Much appreciated.

A friend of mine claims he still has several miles of Kodachrome which he'd like to process himself (he has E6 processor etc). I told him it's a no way to achieve color reversal, he can only get a B/W negative image and he now wants to pursue this goal, but how can this be done practically? Thank you

I guess the format was conceived several months before 1965 along with a prototype of the "Kodapak" cartridge. Then from some information I gathered years ago from Small Format, I seem to recall the first cameras and projectors reached stores in may. But this is not 100% certain...

Camera and film stock work great together: I used a Nizo Professional and E100D outdoors a couple of years ago on my trip to Amsterdam and the footage was great, with no worry about iris override etc. Yet, if it's so bright there, you may want to bring a 2x ND filter, just in case. But do not forget ...

Hi!
Wonderful job!
Could you supply these ASA plugs to me? I'd like to have a 50, 100, 200, 400 ASA set with a filter override plug as well. Do they fit Agfa cartridges, too?
Thank you

I'd be more than happy to buy S/8 film on spools/cores and load it myself. It's not such a big issue after all, and when Wittner offered this material, it was possible to spare a nice bunch of bucks...


It would be best if a S8 cartridge could kept below Euro 20 and there were some good ...

I hope that, given the public funding they are benefiting from, their products will be prized accordingly...

Well it's all down to the film content and final price... Can you articulate?

Yes, great news indeed! I do hope their cine formats will be reasonably priced so that we would be enticed to shoot more film, and hopefully bring in a new generation of shooters as well.

I totally agree with this point. Prices have been skyrocketing for the last couple of years up to ...

David and aj I partly agree with you but in this case much of my equipment becomes useless: what's the use of the finest S/8 lenses with a film with so much grain? Of course it cannot resolve as many lines as E 100 D. True the beauty of images is not just about cleanliness and lack of grain but ...

Hi, I've seen it projected on a 30 by 40 cm screen using a Bauer T 520: Very nice and balanced colors, good skin tones and contrast and relatively sharp. Runs very smoothly in both camera and projector (no hint of jitter at least with handheld camera) but the grain is really too noticeable. Indeed ...

Yes.

John, if you attempt focusing with the lens set at wide angle, you will get very inconsistent readings. The way you set the eyepiece is correct, that's what is described in most all manuals. But of course you have to ALWAYS set the focus after you have set the focal length to the maximum value ...
