Re: Kodak Film Prices
You don’t necessarily have to reduce costs and prices. The 20th century proves explicitly that customers can be won by clever marketing, sometimes even aggressive publicity. Take a look at the home movie equipment industry. A Paillard-Bolex H camera was sold for more than $5,000 over all the years, ...

Re: Can I pop in Fomapan 33'/10m DS8 in a Canon Zoom DS8
Unfortunately the Canon Scoopic DS-8 has the same spool spindles as the 16mm version has. You’ll have to rewind.

Re: 8mm perforator
Not at all homemade, that’s a Bell & Howell perforator. These devices run at about 20 strokes per second. Basically it’s a 16mm one, only the tooling is different. Patented in 1917, never surpassed until today

Re: Ektachrome Is Back!
I hope it will come as 16 soon. Just the thought of Ektachrome running through the projector makes me shiver.

Re: Where can you buy positive 16mm color film?
No difference. You cut 16mm strips from a jumbo and then perforate them. Super-8 begins as Double-Super-8. In former years, 8-S has been made from 35mm and 32mm strands for mass copying on multiple exposure printers but that’s amost forgotten. Two times 16 from 32 had also existed.

Re: Play in Filmo 70DR speed dial
That play is normal, it’s even a mechanical necessity. Bell & Howell explained that one should turn the speed dial to somewhat faster than the desired value and then slow the mechanism down to the mark. The marks were set that same way. A strap seems to be an ebay-etsy-or-so search or a job for ...

Re: New Kodak Super 8 Camera Preview
They have shot themselves in both feet, can’t walk now, I mean the amateur motion-picture film department. Took Kodachrome away and Ektachrome. The Super-8 camera debacle isn’t so bad in my opinion. Only embarassing Kodak is a film manufacturer. They even have a burnt butt and can’t sit down therefo...

Re: The State of Double Super 8
Know that all Super-8 derives from Double-Super-8. Kodak cuts 70mm, 65mm, 35mm, and 16mm strips from the jumbos. Perforation takes place with the longest possible rolls which are 3,000 or 2,000 feet. It would be the easiest thing for Kodak to wind 100-footers onto daylight spools, give each a sticke...

Re: How to measure 35mm film length in dark
You use a synch roller with a counter whose cyphers are painted over with phosphorescing paint. You can also install a lighttight funnel with a little bulb or a LED inside to peep in or a contact switch in conjunction with an electronic counter so installed that its light doesn’t reach the film. May...

Re: Tripod Talk
Dead right and a notion discussed already over fifty years ago There are lighter tripods than the Universal (other MIller brother) I showed. Nothing against lighter tripods, monopods, any support or rest In the cinematic language, camera movement has a meaning like a hard cut, like perspective. To m...
