Thanks guys

Hi I need to accuratly chop a 400ft roll of 35mm in half as we only have a 200ft mag on our eclair what’s the best way to do this - it’s going on a core - cheers miles

Wow transfer looks good even with the warping - the film we transfer was way filthier

How does this work

Yeah ya have to let it dry out first before putting it through the machine- it still leaves a layer of dust over everything

Well I had to coil the film into a huge pile and let it dry out-the vinegar is sort of slimey - so let that dry for a few days outside because of the fumes-then put it through the universal - the beginning was watchable for 5mins after that it was completly abstract- but amazingly the optical sound ...

Hi guys I'm transferring a friends pile of 16mm film and one of the reels is totally gone crusty- I've never seen one this bad -it looks like the film has secreted sugar crystals - and the fumes are of strong vinegar -the film is kind of slimey rather than brittle - so it's going to be interesting t...

Havent got the hardware upgrade yet- but the software upgrade is brilliant- so anyone with a universal it is worth getting the software upgrade - the grey edge now makes framing easyier - it now has live view for focus - also export has heaps of new options- like highlighting a bunch of clips to exp...

Ok fixed it - I hadn't noticed the 4 screws on base of handle cause they were hidden under a black leather cover-lucky that just peels off- so all it needed to fix the sticky mess was a bit of lithium grease and the the four base screws slightly loosened- I reckon it must have been dropped at some s...

Brilliant- never even noticed those screws- thanks

Thanks guys- yep what I was worried about is if I put any kind of oil in there - could it top the power from going on? Not sure what the wireing looks like inside the Handel

Hi guys- picked up a nice beaulieu 4008 reciently - only problem so far is the power switch on its weird Handel- if its pushed in - I need pliers to get it out- anyway of lubing it up (wd40) or somthing?

Nice work Roger placing an order asap on those sensor/light/ sound thing - brilliant

If ya camera has synchro scan / clear scan adjustment of the shutter you can get rid of the flicker with that-it works pretty well on the lumix gh4

I usually frame it a bit wider so i can see the edges of the film and adjust the height and sides if needed then just crop in post- if client wants it in widescreen i just put a black mask over the sides to hide any edges
