Cool gadget. How easy and precise is the focusing? I am tempted to order one. Thanks for the info. Jean

Re: smallformat ends its run

Like the others I will miss a great publication. My guess is that even an online edition would not be an option? Thanks in advance for the few next issues. Jean

Re: Splicing

It may difficult to find but I like using Würker splicer. You have the choice of 2 or 4 frames splices and they are quite strong even if they don't overlap the film. Jean

Re: Sound on a minidisc...new Microphone...

I have very good results with a Sony ECM-DS70P stereo microphone. It can be connected without a preamp. For portability, cost and stereo sound with a minimum of setup Minidisc is my favourite choice. I found one on eBay for less than fifty dollars. Jean

It is tempting to try a reel. Where did you order it? Jean

Re: Ektachrome 64 jittering

Seems to be variable from one cartridge to another. I had jitter problems with Nizo and Beaulieu cameras but not at all time. Jean

Re: Scratches on Newly Developed Film

Did you clean the film gate? Could be this simple solution I hope. Jean

Nizo 2056 faulty contacts

Hi everyone. Any of you had any success with faulty motor contacts with a Nizo 2056? I had good results for a time opening the cover and cleaning the power switch contacts but now only the zoom will work. Thanks. Jean
