I thought it would be good to raise the subject of the use of tripods in films especially to those new to film making. People in the past often related home movies to the shaky images that were shown to friends and family during those memorable, (or otherwise) movie nights. If the audience were luc...

Hi I know this is a long shot anyone here have a Sony walkman wmd6c Gebuhr multisyn . There is a binder 712 5p male cable connector on the walkman ! do you know which way , one should wire for a diy cable / walkman to camera ? gebuhr multisyn was not helpful with this ? after sending them a e mail ....

thanks Silverdream, I think the prism sounds like the most likely culprit, I've seen other cameras with pull down/shutter sync problems and there tends to be vertical motion blur or strobing effects on the footage nikonr10, I'd describe the focusing on this camera as imprecise. a couple of years ag...

I have a ZC1000 that seems incapable of focusing accurately, no matter how much care and attention I take on setting the focus on a subject the film always comes back from the lab showing the focus always significantly behind/further away from what I was aiming at! I'm trying to figure out what mig...

Hi, After a home-move I find I am with Standard 8 sprockets for my Eumig Mark S 807D projector but the Super 8 sprockets have disappeared. Up the river without a paddle. Are there interchangeable sprockets for this Eumig series please - such as the 800, 802 and 810D Eumigs? If I can't find Super8 s...

Hi all, I just found a really nicely preserved Eumig 610D variable speed projector, unfortunately for me it's the European voltage model. There's a solder point where I can easily set the transformer primary between 220/230/240/250 volts but there doesn't appear to be any 110/120v taps. I was just ...

potassium dichromate is carcinogenic and should be handled with gloves and appropriate health and safety protection. The compound is also corrosive and exposure may produce severe eye damage or blindness.[13] Human exposure further encompasses impaired fertility, heritable genetic damage and harm to...

Just don't severely disable or kill yourself. Wear proper PPE which includes a respirator with the proper filtration.

With no darkroom skill's ? / Phil is right Here , we should discouraging it .

I’m using filmlabs r9 bleach recipe. I have all the necessary equipment and I already signed the safety precaution forms to buy the chemicals. Only one question: the sulphuric acid I need to buy has to be 96%, but photographers formulary only sells 48%... does that mean that I double the amount of ...

So long story short: if I develop my 7266 16mm film in d-19, can I use an eco friendly bleach? Or is eco friendly bleach only good for caffenol based developers? (Note: The recipe is not mine) Bleach: 1L hydrogen peroxide 9% 28ml acetic acid glacial I don’t want to use the sulphuric acid/dichromate...

As Nikonr10 said, have you done classical black and white developing before? If you have experience with hand processing black and white, you know how temperamental chemistry can be. I have over twenty years experience hand developing still black and white film and I wouldn't touch a bucket process...

This footage was shot last year in Hindley Street, Adelaide, South Australia on two different nights. My first time shooting 500T. Film was exposed with a Canon 1014E. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BEmV7kyhN8Q Thanks for sharing Patrick , Makes me want to shoot some 500T . was there much correcti...

I just bought a bolex h16 reflex and have some 7266 film arriving. I plan on buying a Lomo tank, but in the meantime I’m losing patience and I want to shoot and develop as soon as possible. If anyone has any experience in “bucket processing” and knows the best way to get the best picture in these c...

That time came from my days developing prints. The Kodak fixer package lists 5-10 minuets. Now I time how long film takes to clear and double it. I hadn't yet learned that old fixer takes longer to do the job. Thats still a long even for prints ? even if you were to go the two bath old fixer / then...

Reversal in RO9 is 1:25 at 18 min

Why would you want to fix for 10 min thats a long time for a film , or is it a weak soup ?
