The result is fantastic, I don't miss the K40.

Hi,

A few weeks ago I used for the first time my pressure plate in two 64T cartridges. To my big surprise the film started to jamm halfway the cartridge. When I took the presure plate out, the films ran nicely till the end. With the other cartridge I had exactly the same problem. I have never had ...

HI,

After having sent several mails to Kodak USA, I just received a detailed answer about their decision to stop producing Kodachrome super 8.
This mail answers most of my questions (and also yours I believe.) Personally I do find the anser makes sence.

I fully agree with Roy's opinion why Kodak has taken the decision to stop producing Kodachrome super 8. They just want to get ride of the developping and mailing situation. However, what they have forgotten to think about is that the kodachrome super 8 film is still their best selling super 8 film ...

Has anyone been experiencing delay's in K40 processing.

Hi,

My tripod which I bougth 30 years ago is more or less worn out.
I am looking for a new one but it is hard to decide as there are too many brands and modells on the market.

Is there anybody who can explain the working of this kind of lens?
I just bought an EUMIG aspherical wide angle lens that fits my Bauer 207Xl and Canon 814 XLS (with adapterring), but when looking through the viewfinder I noticed that the picture is completely out of focus. There is no way to get it ...

Patrick mentioned this device to minimize focus errors. Is anyone using it?

I bougth this pressure plate a year ago, hoping that my films would even be sharper as they are already. Unfurtunately I have noticed that there is really NO improvement, whether I use it with my Canon 814 XL or my ...

So the perforater is on the way.
But what about the cameras to go with it?
So far I can only think of three double super 8 cameras all of which seem quite hard to find am I missing something?
Bolex H8/H16 converted
Canon DS8 Scoopic
and my pick
Pathe DS8
is there a more readily available solution ...
