Re: Super 8 film processing is AVAILABLE in the UK !!!!!

Hello everyone....I am sorry but I may have been somewhat premature in my recommendations for this service. The outdated Boots moviechrome I sent came back fine. I promptly sent off 2 E64T AND 1 Tri X for processing. I got them back and I am not pleased at all with the results. The E64t is at best p...

Re: Hanimex or Chinon

I agree...buy the chinon....1200sm has a 6-72mm f1.8 zoom lens...fantastic optics..Chinon cameras often had great lenses and this model was no exception..

Sharp as a tack images and a fast lens too...ya can't go wrong with it :D

Re: Canon 310XL sells for $210

Full disclosure of who you are bidding against is NOT ALLOWED on ebay...shill bidders can be anywhere, nowhere or somewhere...the point being, you, the highest bidder will never know. This is absolutely true...so as I say bidders beware...You have to dec...

Re: Canon 310XL sells for $210

I'm with you Alan...the seller has spent time putting together tidy,attractive ads for his wares...I read through the ad and to be honest was impressed myself...having said that the camera realised a very good price indeed...people seem to forget that ebay (in the main) is an auction site...no one i...

Re: Diy telecine unit

The machine appears to operate satisfactorily; there is no streaking and frame to frame capture seems consistent in the one I watched (the Zoo). But at least 90% of a transfer is down to the technique... 1. The cleanliness of the original film. 2. The cleanliness of the field lens if one is used. 3...
