Hi fabdis,

Carlos, I've no idea if you've told him this already, but I own two of these cameras, and they require a rectangular aluminium Super8 filter key, which has a circle cut out in it. They are sometimes hard to find. Pushing in the key DISENGAGES the filter, which is normally IN place for outdoor filming with K40.

Hope this is of help,

Lucas

CARLOS: que bueno encontrar alguien argentino aca (aunque creo que igual voy a seguir posteando en mi lamentable ingles de la secundaria, ya que seria de mala educacion postear en español en un foro en ingles ¿no?), te agradezco lo que me dejaste, basicamente la mayor duda que tenia me la saco quien posteo debajo tuyo, parece que a los de canon se les pegaron los platinos cuando diseñaron el sistema para activar o desactivar el filtro indoor/outdoor, de paso te pregunto algo: pensando en hacer telecine para luego editar en video: ¿que diferencias tengo filmando a 18 o 24 fps?, (pros y cons).(si crees que corresponde publicarlo en ingles no hay drama pero te pido que sea lo mas basico que puedas), saludos y mil gracias de nuevo....

Yep, I had an old Bauer C1 M S8 camera (from the early 70's), with the same charecteristics. It had a groove for where it could settle a lamp (Bauer's accessory) that moved away the filter 85 when inserting it.
I had to make an aluminum key to be able to shoot without the #85 filter.

Fabdis, Lucas te ha dado la respuesta que buscabas.

Saludos, 8)

pensando en hacer telecine para luego editar en video: ¿que diferencias tengo filmando a 18 o 24 fps?

If you wish to trasfer S8 film to video, (PAL) you must to project the film at 16,66 frames per sec. (So there's no flicker). So, if you wish to shoot at 18 fps, there's a little difference in the Speed (16,66 to 18 fps) With Adobe premiere you can increse the speed easily (next to 10 %), until obtain the desired 18 fps. the same happens if you shoot at 24 fps: transfer to video at 16,66 fps and late increase digitally the speed (next to 40 % with my camera) with Premiere or another Non-linear edition software.

Regards,

Carlos

Carlos, surely when one shoots at 24fps, one transfers to PAL at 25fps? This is the normal method, I think.

Could be, but not with a standad Super 8 Projector with three blade shutter.
With two Blade shutter projectors, It's posibble to transfer to PAL at 24-25 fps.

I transferred to PAL video an Old 35 mm film at 24 fps with an old two blade shutter 35 mm projector. There was a little bit of fickler.

Roger's CineMate runs at 16,66 fps with a 3 blade shutter projector, to be trasferred to PAL system.
