Does anyone have any experience with shooting time lapse at night with the Shutter kept held open? ie, which settings will give you the best exposure before overexposing the image? just curious... 'cause i'm going to do some tests tonight.. jusetan p.s. from my experience, shooting at the 6fps inter...

i totally agree with you and enjoy taking apart my cameras to understand their functions... however.. the 1014 is pretty difficult to get apart... There is a lot more electronic parts to it than any other camera that I have serviced before. Also, I don't really know what type of lubrication to buy, ...

hey, I know there are some people here from Toronto and I'm in need of finding a place to do a 1014 camera lube/repair. Does anyone have any experience with any places around the city or can recommend somewhere I can get this done? jusetan ps maybe we could all hook up sometime and share some of our...

hey thanks!

I've gotta try to find a place in Toronto that can do the lubing for me.
Anyone know of any shops in Toronto?

And I agree with you, the optics on the 1014 are great!... My Nizo S800 doesn't deliver nearly as beautiful of an image.

thanks for all the responses! I have tried new batteries. ...tried bashing the camera. ... tried removing the gate and checking for clogs The advance claw does not move when running the cam without cart. Problem happens with and without a cart. The footage counter has been reset. I _think_ it may be...

forgot to mention...

when you pull the trigger, the END logo stays on screen..

..it seems as though the camera thinks that it is at the END of a film cartridge, even if no cartridge is inserted..

any advice?!!?!?!?!

thanks!!

if you look at the end of your film reel you will most likely notice puncture marks in your film. This is what happens when you get your film processed at Dwaynes. I have had 3 rolls of K40 come back with similar puncture marks at the end of the footage causing what seems like a focus issue at the e...

i've heard and dealt first hand with the panasonic. If lit well, looks great but the one flaw i've had with the camera is that it does a strange 4:1 pulldown and interlaces the frame in a strange manner. i've not operated the camera, only worked with the footage from one, maybe there is a setting? F...

don't buy an xl1

if anything go with a sony pd-150...

after shooting many docs and editing with both of the 2 cameras, the image quality of the sony is far superior.

good luck,

jusetan.

(not familliar with the xl2 or the pd-170 or the newer sony model though)

just spoke with the transfer house... they seem to have a very good system there.. DOUG has made specific modification to his rank scanner to give a much sharper image transfer for super 8. Not sure if i should spend the extra cahs on getting a digi beta xfer or if i should just stick with the min-d...

transfer station claims that they'll give you the best quality or your money back.. "We offer a 100% money back guarantee that you won't find the same quality transfers at the same price anywhere! " http://www.thetransferstation.com sounds like a good thing, but is their quality going to b...

Cinepost offers a pretty good rate, 135/hour on their scanner. and their work seems pretty good (it's quite a bit cheeper than flying spot which is $300/hour last i checked). their service seems pretty similar, any other opinions? The transfer station seems like they would do a great job, but i've n...

alright here goes.. everyone has left their 2 cents somewhere on this forum about different labs for transfers. This topic is going to touch on them all! My experience is with EXCLUSIVE in toronto. EXCLUSIVE: Great for developing b/w film stocks. Not really impressed with the transfer that i got of ...

let us know how the transfer goes, i'm trying to find the best place to do my xfer right now...

got 50 rolls of k40 to be transfered!!

hey hey, i am planning on doing my transfer at flying spot using their rank scanner (supposed to give fantastic results), however i am still a student and would love to find somewhere cheaper to get it done, but can still get the quality that my project needs. here's what i'm looking for, and maybe ...
