Somebody shoot Super 8 Fuji Velvia Stock? How does it looks?

[Carlos 8mm]

I would like to see any pic of Fuji Velvia´s S8 shoot. Some of you, guys, have some to show? :?:

Carlos.

Yes, I agree with Carlos. Let's see some Fuji pics. Doesn't S8 Booster have some Velvia that he was having developed. I thought Roger mentioned buying a Fuji single 8 Camera in an earlier post. I wonder if he ever took any photo's with it.

Cheers,

I have got some Provia carts, one is 100ASA and 2 are 400ASA.
I plan to shoot on of the 400s soon.
Just need get an optional 80B lens filter I think to make it match tungsten light in addition to daylight.

Probably start shooting in mid February.

If it turns out satisfactory I will send it to Andreas for WP transfer so stills will be available.

Did you mean Fujichrome Provia 100F Professional (RDPIII) & Provia 400F Professional (RDPIII)? Those stocks are for still photo! But in fact
Provia 100F it´s a little bit less grainy and has more resolivng power (140 lines per mm. maximun) than K-40! According with Fuji´s Technical Specifications.

Really I would like to see some pics of Provia 100F Super 8 stock and then compare it with K-40 stock!

Hi Carlos.

Yes this is the actual film material.
It was split, perforated and cartridged by PRO8mm, from 35mm as far as I know.

It is supposed to be finer grained than the K40 8 vs 9 so I really look forward to see the results too. I hope to get it transferred on Andreas´s WP when it is finished and I will post some stills then.

Yes we have been wanting to see the results from this for quite a long time. However, just remember that a still film emulsion may not make a better motion picture emulsion. Kodak made serious tests with their T-Max black and white stock which turned out to be more grainy when used as a motion picture stock than the old Plus-X motion picture stock. They also tried years ago to use their Technical Pan extremely fine-grained and extreme resolution black and white still film, which also turned out disappointing when used as a motion picture stock. If successful, Technical Pan would have made an ideal stock for shooting S-8mm or 16mm for blowing up to 35mm. Point being that still film specifications do not necessarily equate to equal motion picture film specs. I do like the idea of trying different things to add to the film making fun. And like I have said before, grain to me is not the only important attribute for a film stock, so even if Provia turns out grainer, it still might make for an interesting stock.

I am pretty sure you are right about this so I am curios about the result.

It appears that Fuji actually only sells one reversal motionP stock which seem to the same as the Velvia still film: Velvia RVM EI-50.
