Re: Another filmscanner hits the market (soon)

Looks interesting--they have quite a team on board. I wonder what price point they're looking at? I'd also be interested in some opinions from other members here who have experience with different machines and systems to get an idea how this one potentially compares. Thoughts anyone?

Re: Good to be back!

Just checking in. Great to see activity here again--coincides nicely with a recent plunge back into some filmmaking after a long break. Can't even count how many times this place and the experts here helped me out. Let's spread the word and get some traffic back! :-BD

Re: The return of Ektachrome 100D - CES 2017

There are even rumours about the return of Kodachrome: https://soundcloud.com/the-kodakery/discussing-the-new-kodak-super-8-camera-live-from-kodak-studios-at-ces (go to about 23:40 and listen) "You just broke the internet, right there." :) A return of Kodachrome...now wouldn't that be som...

Recalibrating 40/160 cams

What's the current experience and/or opinions about going in to 40/160 only cams and recalibrating the exposure for other stocks? Has anybody here done it or tried it at all? Have any opinions about it? I know for most of the junk cameras it would simply be a waste of time, but I got an Agfa Microfl...

Indy 500 16mm Artist Film

I know there were some racing fans on here in the old days, so I just wanted to pass on something I found from and about artist Slater Bradley: He made a film at the Indy 500 a few years back and shot it on Super 16mm with an Arriflex and a Bolex. I've shot lots of Super 8 at the 500 but have never ...

Re: New Norwegian Super 8 camera to debut in 2014

It was bound to happen. Regardless, it's just another expensive camera I'll never own. :P

Re: Stephen Broomer's new experimental UltraPan8 3.1 film

Great piece by Broomer--wonderful subject and context for the UltraPan8 format. I've been doing some nature shooting lately and I wish I had this camera and setup to bring something special to it. Maybe someday. Continued congratulations to you Nicholas and all of the filmmakers using UltraPan. Tim

Re: 3D printed Lens Adapter

Is this going to be the solution to all of the broken polyester gears in old low-end cameras?

How strong is the final printed thing--would the teeth on a printed gear withstand normal stresses?

Probably the same problem as the polyester originals--but you could make a lot of them.

Re: Pro8 introduces 200D color reversal

A couple of drawbacks--polyester, so no cement splicing, and expensive ($45 a cart, process paid) Yikes!

But better than nothing, I suppose. Why do I keep finding myself saying that about everything related to film lately?

Tri-x is my one and only friend.

Re: Kodak Announces Sale of Patents

It's still kind of a sad and bitter story. Ten, twenty years down the road, when Kodak is either long gone or just a small niche manufacturer, historians will look back on this as the moment they had to sell the family jewels. I know they blew the digital imaging thing long ago, but they did still h...

Right on.
