I have one I've been meaning to sell. Bought it with a 1014, which needed to be repaired. Sold the 1014 but not the lens.

Would be happy to send more info/pictures.

Thanks for the detailed response Steve. I like the term anti positivist, and think maybe that's a little more accurate, though I don't think it really matters and wasn't trying to stick you or anything. I brought it up because I sometimes think there's a tension in Herzog between romantic and postmo...

I agree with most of what you've said, Steve, and I'm glad you posted this topic. And even though I agree with Herzog, I still think verite is somewhat of a straw man. Do most people buy verite/straight documentary's truth claims at this point? Does the Real World claim to document or index anything...

Do you see it as postmodern because it's relativistic? Anti-ideology? Just curious because that's not necessarily the first thing that popped into my head (I’ve read this before). I think Herzog is a little extreme in his critique of verite, but I agree with the general idea, the need for ris...

Know I was probably preaching to the converted. Thought Steve was maybe interested in the diatribe. Anyway, for me Crash (Haggis) is a terrible movie about an interesting issue, and the discourse around it was really interesting, specifcally how it showed what kind of movies about race people are an...

Don't wanna completely hijack this thread but... There are the obvious problems with Crash. Overdetermined characters, ridiculous coincidences/serendipity. Does every debased character have to be redeemed and every good character corrupted? What a stupid formula. So everyone's equally capable of goo...

I'm ambivalent about this film. Many things to like and some to dislike. I think it's completely unfair to say that there's no ideas behind this film. As Tim suggested, the use of anachronistic clothing, music, and speech brings up the construction of history and how history is always being produced...

Forde labs charges .20 per foot for 100D and .15 for color neg. Telecine costs the same across format. It's just based on running time. Flying spot literally just quoted me $600 per hour and $300 standby for both 16mm and super 8 ( i think all their super 8 is standby). You could probably get a bett...

The Ikonoskop costs $6250 right now. The aftermarket reflex mod costs $3700 right now. How many people are gonna spend $10000 for a reflexed ikonoskop DS8, even if there were a plethora of stock options? In terms of cost of film, taking T-scan's number for 20 min of film, let's say you're shooting a...

Even if Ikonoskop makes a DS8, it won't have reflex viewing. Why not push for a reflex addition before the DS8 mod? Anyway, how many people are really gonna shell out $6250 for a camera? Will the ikonoskop DS8 be appreciably better than existing DS8 cameras? If Ikonoskop adds a reflex viewer, the a-...

I'd be interested in 2 or 3 of the mags if he's looking to part it out. Let me know via PM.

I emailed Bolex in Switzerland, and they said that RX lenses should work stopped down below 2.8. At 2.8 or more open, I believe there are some issues based on the spherical correction and the prism. Basically, RX lenses are designed with the prism in mind and are slightly different in design than no...

Film festival acceptances are difficult to gauge. That's why so many people refer to film festivals as crapshoots. While there is obviously a certain level of artistry in most shorts accepted into big name festivals, there's always an aspect of chance, which makes it seem capricious, especially when...

For me, Tarantino's films are like candy, and within those confines, they can be occasionally enjoyable (some more than others), but ultimately aren't that satisfying. His movies are kinda like film porno for cinephiles. In terms of his contributions, his desire to add wacky exploitation and foreign...

Glad to see your film is doing well. Just have a few quick technical questions.

Who did the telecine? What camera did you shoot with? Did you use an anamorphic or just crop to 16:9? Also, what's the film about (the title and still are intriguing)? Thanks for the info.
