They have shot themselves in both feet, can’t walk now, I mean the amateur motion-picture film department. Took Kodachrome away and Ektachrome. The Super-8 camera debacle isn’t so bad in my opinion. Only embarassing Kodak is a film manufacturer. They even have a burnt butt and can’t sit down therefo...

My Kodak rep is looking into it.

I love that.

Know that all Super-8 derives from Double-Super-8. Kodak cuts 70mm, 65mm, 35mm, and 16mm strips from the jumbos. Perforation takes place with the longest possible rolls which are 3,000 or 2,000 feet. It would be the easiest thing for Kodak to wind 100-footers onto daylight spools, give each a sticke...

Purely mechanical models can be sent to me, I do service spring-drive cameras. Beaulieu M, R, and T are welcome. Hourly rate 90 francs

PM please in case of interest

You use a synch roller with a counter whose cyphers are painted over with phosphorescing paint. You can also install a lighttight funnel with a little bulb or a LED inside to peep in or a contact switch in conjunction with an electronic counter so installed that its light doesn’t reach the film. May...

Dead right and a notion discussed already over fifty years ago There are lighter tripods than the Universal (other MIller brother) I showed. Nothing against lighter tripods, monopods, any support or rest In the cinematic language, camera movement has a meaning like a hard cut, like perspective. To m...

post-35633-0-59127300-1300826380.jpg Many thanks for the subject! As a technician I much too often am not heard. A motion-picture camera belongs on sticks. 999 per mille of what we see in the movie theatres are steady shots. All that hipster, self-declared artists hand camera blurr is an insult and...

The double prism of the Paillard-Bolex H RX cameras introduces a longitudinal aberration. Specially calculated and manufactured RX designated lenses have been introduced. Berthiot, Schneider, and Angénieux made RX lenses, too. The longitudinal focus error becomes negligible with lenses of 50 mm foca...

Don’t know much about the Pacific Rim scene, Jaakko Kurhi maybe. http://www.jkcamera.com

In any case I take Paillard-Bolex products. A complete overhaul of your camera would cost around $500. I give two years warranty on my work. If you indicate model and serial number, I can quote more precisely.

Do you need the fader with your single-frame work?

Have washed many films, flooded footage full of mud, you know, fine sand and else. Now your film seems to be damaged by the mold (fungus) in such a manner that the gelatine bond to the base is attacked. Coating coming off is about the worst state. You cannot fix the image before cleaning. You can tr...

What is New York Times?

Got my Bell & Howell Filmo Straight Eight today. The Mytal on it has full closing iris. Only spools are missing.

Most everything with the Univex-8 cameras is the other way round than with the others. Main frame or housing is Zamak alloy Film chamber is on the right hand side Film spools not interchangeable, not even with Bell & Howell Filmo Straight Eight Winding key revolves with down-running spring Inverted ...
