Re: New to film

What options have I got for editing it for projection? Well... as an amateur in the year 2014 you can choose between "dry" and "wet" splicing. "Wet" means glueing the splices with "film cement" ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Film_cement ), while "dry&qu...

Re: processing labs in UK

However this lab does 16mm, so they should be able to process double8 as well: http://www.encorepost.co.uk/#ourservices I went on their website and I couldn't see anything about processing? Looks like you're correct. Their page only says: "We offer a full overnight dailies service for both 16m...

Re: processing labs in UK

It looks like no.w.here and gaugefilm are the only British lab left that do b&w (that is if they really process in-house): http://www.no-w-here.org.uk/index.php?cat=4&subcat=main http://www.gaugefilm.co.uk/store/p21/50ft_D-19_B%26W_Super_8_%26_Double_8_Reversal_Processing_Service_.html Howev...

Re: Would this film work with my camera?

how do i configure my camera for this tape? You can't. (Reason a: The camera doesn't use tape but film! ;-) Reason b: The camera doesn't support anything above 160 ASA.) But you don't have to when using manual exposure. as it is 200 ASA while the max is 160 ASA (So it would overexpose?) The differe...

Oops!
"daylight-filter for tungsten-balanced enabled"
should have been

Re: Braun Super 8 Nizo Profesaional S800

As for the batteries:
I've used various rechargeable batteries in various super8- and single8-cameras without any problems.
The current "low self-discharging" batteries are working fine, too.

Re: Braun Super 8 Nizo Profesaional S800

Hi! The "sun"-symbol means "daylight-filter for tungsten-balanced enabled". Hence that's not the setting you want to use. ;-) However: when the super8-cartridge is correctly notched and when the camera is working correctly, then the filter should be automatically disabled despite...

Re: Kodak 100D

My idea is that they are not planning on bringing it back. You are aware Kodak has ceased all production of reversal colour film? Even if they would like to do so: I doubt that they still can coat films (at least acetate based ones): http://www.ebay.com/itm/Used-60-Acetate-Film-Roll-Roller-Coating-...

Re: Film 9: Film restoration software.

I just hit cancel on the "buy online" popup I didn't notice such a popup when using "Film9"!? some other file types open fine, like mp4 and SD avi. Maybe that's because of the used codec/file-format? E.g. support for ASF has been dropped in an earlier version of VirtualDub and s...

That's because you don't need to install "Film 9". You'll simply extract the complete ZIP- or RAR-file and then start the EXE. (Like in ye olde DOS-days ;-) )

Re: Film 9: Film restoration software.

So far the only problems I've had with the software were caused by my first name (Jörg): I was using C:\Users\Jörg\Downloads\Film9\, G:\Jörg\Film\Test\, ... as paths. But the program doesn't like any letters that don't belong to the 7bit-ASCII-Standard. Only for one of the paths the program...

Re: ziess ikon movikon w/movigonar

Hi, it looks like there's a special viewfinder for the movigonar: http://www.blende-und-zeit.sirutor-und-compur.de/thread.php?board=6&thread=1 According to markings on the viewfinder I would guess that you'll have to set the camera's focus to the red-dot-position. (It would guess that you'll hav...
