Matt,

I'm intrigued! Would love to read your work....

Thanks my friend. I'll try to get my hands on a remote. Finding ways around various problems seems to be the best solution when working with s8 cameras. Expensive repairs just don't make sense when you can buy these things for a song on ebay.

The following link will take you to a film to tape transfer outfit here in my home town, Seattle. I've not yet used their services, but plan to.

Thanks for posting your work Andy. I'm interested in your process: what type of film format and transfer method have you used?

Again, thanks,

Steve
