Here are a couple of open shutter night timelapses with my Nizo 561 I picked up last month. WP transfer.

And another, focus looks a little soft.. hard to see at night

very nice. Your exposures have convinced me to buy some stock. What fstop were you at?? how dark was it really??

Looks very good.

what was your camera setting for these shots (f-stop/exposure)?

Thanks, I shot with the autoB feature, so it basically sticks at 1.8 and the frame rate speeds up and slows down depending on how much light is available. I think the skyline shot was a frame every 30sec.

T- Scan,

Good to see some results of this new stock. These night shots are remarkably vivid. Thanks for posting them!

This last batch of 64T came out really nice. looks amazing projected, got a lot of sunny day shots where the grain was really tight and couldn't even see any from 12 feet away on most the shots. it will do me fine for my projection gigs.. better than K40.

Question about the AUTO B funtion on the NIZO (Pro):

While shooting in AUTOB mode, do you know if you can override the f-stop if you shoot in manual? I've been curious about that, to see if you can get some more DOF/Sharpness out of the lens. Or if when you shoot on auto b and the camera is in Manual mode, does it take into account the setting of the iris?

It doesn't seem as if you can. when I go into manual f-stop, the frame rate stays the same.. it should slow down to allow the propper light in. I heard you can shoot normal speed shutterless, but doesn't seem to be the case either. there seems to be 2 shutters, a backup and a regular. when i look through the view finder and open the lever, I can see through the shutter (no film inserted) but pull the trigger and a shutter in front of the one I opened (I think) goes into action. I took a few takes at 24fps with the shutter lever all the way to B, or open.. and actually got narrow shutter results, it looked awsome, but I was hoping to shoot shutterless at normal speed too. maybe someone with more Nizo experience can fill us in.

I am going to experiment on the Bauer Royal 8E to see if I can stop down the f-stops. I believe you can in its timer mode.

I haven't tried it that way yet.. going to require a light meter and some math.

I shot some tests last week shooting in B mode at 24fps, just need to have it processed to get the results back.

I received a 561 today, i wanna test this AutoB function ;-)
T-Scan do you have the manual ?

I just got a home made pampohlet with mine, but the autoB is pretty simple to use. set it to autoB and engage the running lock. I also just learned, the autoB takes a light reading from a seperate external meter next to the Nizo logo.
