What is meant by a lens breathing? Does that refer to the tendency of some zoom lenses to loose focus at the one end or the other of the zoom range? That wouldn't apply to a prime, of course. Or something else?

Can't really read the label. It's not a very clear picture. Is that a currently manufactured film?

I had the same problem with my side by side fridge/freezer in the house. Way too much film and beer in it to fit much of anything else. So I went and bought another fridge and a separate freezer for the garage. The fridge in the garage is just for beer, and the freezer is for film and meat.

I apologize for my flippant response earlier. I think I was on my third glass of wine at the time.

The difference is 6. It's just a number. Numbers are neither good nor bad.

Just so we know what kind of money we're talking about, just how much does a blow up from Super 8 to 35mm cost? What kind of equipment is it done on?

Matt, I haven't succeeded yet. I haven't pursued it much lately, but I haven't given up on it either. I still think processing 50 to 100 foot lengths of film in a big print drum on the CPP-2 would be a vast improvement over the Lomo spiral tank or the Morse G3. I've tried two things so far. My first...

Warning! K40 costs less in the USA because it is ALWAYS process NOT included, in Europe it is, instead. Not so, Maurizio. At least, that's not true for K40 in Super 8. CAT 505 3335 includes processing. I bought some about a year ago direct from Kodak. I think it was in the neighborhood of $13.50 pe...

Re: This will get Super 8 back in to your theaters.

But it doesn't, actually. More importantly, Super 8 K40 is anything but "low grain" when blown up to theatrical size. The grain of the 35mm film is all but invisible in comparison to the grain of the S8 image it is carrying. A straight optical blow up directly from the super 8 frame is al...

The calculations for the average atomic mass of an air molecule are based on incorrect percentages of oxygen and nitrogen in the atmosphere. In fact, they are roughly the opposite of what was given.
