Love the Ray-Gun! And what is the exact function of this Power House Model 70108 drill? Melt perfect circles in wood then squirt glue? Zap!

Forget the iPhone, James! I want your beautiful Aaton!

A trendy mashup of iPhone and Super 8 cameras. They are calling this the world's first "cinematic smartcase" with interchangable lens and optical viewfinder. Urgh, i.e. The Lumenati CS1 pairs with your iPhone 6 or iPhone 6s to create a classic film camera. https://www.kickstarter.com/proje...

Congratulations, Carl! Great stuff. Is Richard Tuohy involved in some manner?

65mm ????! Wow! I heartily admire your ambitions. So exciting. If you are able to keep the size to a minimum with small loads in the spirit of Super 8 engineering ...that would be utterly awesome. Ok. Back to breathing normally. Hi Doug, We are not planning to develop 16mm cameras anymore, it was pr...

"Spatial" is perfect. Thank you for sharing.

Welcome, Grace!

Braxus,

Although I spotted some slight vignetting from the zoom lens the detail is astounding. Wow. What scanner was this? It did not re-interpret the actual film grain/particles significantly as the resultant scan looks like...you know...film!

I just confirmed that Frame Discrete here in Toronto can extract your family's 8mm audio during a film scan to a separate audio .wav file. Audio sync will be lost due to the fact that the audio is extracted at the scanner film gate. Remember that your original 8mm audio was recorded 56 frames after ...

No. Audio stripe playback is a function of the projector. And that is a rare projector indeed with an odd sound/picture separation of 54 frames. The associated 8mm projector has been sold a few times, i.e. http://www.ebay.ca/itm/Vintage-FAIRCHILD-HLH-1-8mm-Sound-Projector-Film-Movie-Tube-Amplifier-2...

Magnetic striped Regular 8mm? Whoa. Are the A & B R8 magnetic stripes the same dimensions as Super 8? My 1964 Fairchild 900 records to magnetic stripes but I am unsure of the specs. I recently got it working with a 12v NmH power supply. Is the Weberling method completed in the dark?

Glenn, I suspect your level of craftsmanship was/is the exception. :) And that's great to hear your 40+ year strips are still working! My referenced baseline was the average user who may or may not have your consummate level of patience and precision. Getting a typical Super 8 camera into a new user...

EyeSpy88,

It is not worth your efforts to apply magnetic stripes as the application and precision necessary were best left to manufactures as Kodak and Fuji. The homemade solutions were prone to peeling. Someone may correct me but I believe the DIY processes were toxic.

Can you provide details of this Kodak Double-Eight loader?

Yes. Re-invest in S8 (Logmar) and shoot! It's been a long time. I am seeking a simple Cinemascope set up.
