Re: Advice needed from current Retro-8 users

Can I say that I have found the Retro-8 an absolute dream to work with. Until last year, I was in a job that I loved for many years, but I'd finally got tired of. I wanted something that didn't necessitate lifting heavy machinery about.

Thanks to Roger and his Retro-8 machine, I am now really ...

Re: Retro-8 Film Scanner Review

Sorry to hear about the flu bug in your area, Roger - hope you're on the mend now. I managed - for the first time ever - to get through the entire year of 2013 without so much as a single cold! I still can't believe it! (Should I be superstitious about posting that comment???)

Am I right in ...

Re: Retro-8 Film Scanner Review

I'm having the time of my life with my new Retro-8. If anyone thinks they are having a problem, you might learn from my experience....

Re: Retro-8 Film Scanner Review

Hi. I received my Retro-8 machine on Christmas Eve, took a break for a couple of days along with most other people, and got the machine set up and running yesterday. First impression is simply: WOW!

I'm gonna take the next month or so to learn how to use it properly (enjoying in the process seeing ...

Re: Retro-8 Film Scanner Review

Roger, I'm 100% sympathetic to your position, but all I ask is that I'm kept informed of how my order is progressing.
It was suggested recently that my order may be about to ship, but since then I've heard nothing.
I'm sure you're doing the best you possibly can, and I'm prepared to wait as long as ...

Re: Retro-8 Film Scanner Review

Cheers, Roger. (He just sent me a very nice email.)

Sorry if I appeared impatient, but since seeing a photo of the Retro-8 in use, I just can't wait to hook it into my editing system.

Colin.

Re: Retro-8 Film Scanner Review

I ordered my Retro-8 at the beginning of August, and I'm really looking forward to getting it.
I'm sure Roger's a great guy, and he's doing a great job - but please, Roger, do something to gee up your email department a bit. I've sent several emails over the last two months or so, but have received ...
