No, not just Eumigs. Dual gauge machines generall They are no more prone to problems than single gauge machines... so long as they are used properly . The 501 does not have a sprocket drive, by the way.... http://super8wiki.com/index.php/Eumig_Mark_501_Projector Contact off Forum if I can help furth...

Sorry to take issue there, Slashmaster, but those of us that know our projectors find that the EUMIG ranges of dual gauge projectors are generally great, dependable workhorses... so long as they are not mistreated by vandals. There is insufficient detail in the description of the problem to determin...

James.... the old chestnut.... it doesn't exist! It was an April Fool joke.

If you have a camera that you KNOW gives good focus at infinity, you don't actually need the ground glass in order to set up the "focus checker"..... or to use it. First, set the camera lens to infinity, place it on a tripod and point the camera at a distant object. Then insert the "f...

Lots and lots of great stuff ,,,,, but in French!

Thanks again,brilliant searches! Ihave bookmarked those that I haven't already got for later detailed reading. At first sight, Nos. 9 and 11/12 in your list of links should prove VERY informative. Thanks again.

Thank you, jpolzfuss! Somehow I'd missed that piece in Wikepedia. Great help!

Has anyone any information on the lenses used for projection of 3D films printed in the 35mm “Side by side” anamorphic format which replaced the “two strip” original method. Many two-strip films were later printed in this format so only one projector was needed, and some new ...

It might be a bit fragile but the main problem is that it needs to be connected to a computer. .... So why use a webcam? Why not use a simple "analogue" board camera into a cheap analogue monitor? After all, it's only to make the viewfinder image available to more people or easier to view...

And don't apologize for your English grammar, either. It is excellent..... better than most Englishmen born in the last 25 years.

Thank you Mattias. I suppose I should have guessed as I've also made provision for adding an external motor to my 810D. Mine can also be manually controlled at 16.67 fps for "on the fly"transfers using a simple electronic controller on the original motor.

"In original condition".... presumably therefore the original motor? How did you get the speed down to 5 fps?

The last two posts, made in December 2013 (this year) were PROBABLY too late to help the enquirer.... who wanted to get his Kodachrome film to Dwayne's before December 31st 2010..... 3 YEARS AGO!!!!

Been at the Christmas sherry too early? :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

[quote="wahiba"]I have been thinking about this and realised that the only element of the movie camera being used is the lens. Therefore it would seem the quickest route to a hybrid would be to fit a cine lens onto a digital camera - one of those cheap flat ones would seem to be a good sac...

And there are many low priced HD Digital cameras out there whose lenses are actually much better than Super 8 camera lenses... so what is the point of deliberately setting out to get an inferior result, simply in order to "use" your Super 8 camera lens? That's the ONLY part of your Super 8...
