My struggles with Tri-x + permanganate + Kodak times might be of use. Am wondering how it would work with Foma r100. <a class="vglnk" href="http://youtu.be/JAPDs_-HF58" rel="nofollow"><span>http</span><span>://</span><span>youtu</span><span>.</span><span>be</span><span...

With the foma developer, yes, use those times.
Note, I have never used the foma developer (!) but the fact is, different developers require different development times, and Fomapan processes for the normal (ie Tri-x) time in kodak developer.

Hi I suspect you are loading the spiral with the film's emulsion facing in. You need to wind with the emulsion out. Otherwise the edge of the film in the track touches the track on its emulsion side and trends to miss the chemistry. In 16mm that isn't usually a problem (unless you are doing super 16...

With reversal film a camera gate hair looks similar to a telecine gate hair - black. With neg a hair in the camera will be white on the film but black in the transfer. A hair in the Telecinie gate will end up white in the transfer. This film was neg. The hairs appear dark. Ergo they are camera gate ...

Hi That film was shot using colour negative. As such it is clear the hair is a camera gate hair not a projector (Telecine) gate hair. They need to clean the camera gate. Open the film door and, with the aid of a bright light, clean the film gate (which is the little square hole where the light comes...

But unfortunately kodak effectively don't sell any 16mm double perf (2R) stocks any more. orwo and foma are prepared to make it. But you have to deal with the factories directly and buy a quantity. Better to try to change your camera...Or invest another $20 on a different one.

The internal filter in a super 8 camera is orange (85) to warm up daylight to be like tungsten light (of course in colour temperature terms daylight is a higher temperature than tungsten, also filtering itself doesn't change the frequency of light it just subtracts some frequencies...). So with 200t...

Yes, packaging land closed.

Hi johnny
It will be absolutely fine in your camera. The difference between 160 and 200 is just one third of a stop which is nothing for colour neg. Many people rate it at 100 deliberately to make a darker.negative.
Enjoy!

There is no need for fearing any photochemical stuff or wearing masks or respirators (!). Gloves might be handy though. Except when dealing with potassium dichromate or potassium permanganate... Or do it outside. You should also use a respirator with paraphenylalameindiamine type developing agents ...

Here is the thing: The bleach powder is carcinogenic (can cause cancer). You must avoid breathing the dust. So, when handling the powder, wear a mask. Better still, mix the bleach outside and be up wind of the container as your pour it. Mixing the bleach also involves handling the sulphuric acid. I ...

Actually, looking at the other picture - of the hand holding the assembly - I think it's the entire plastic assembly that has a spring under it. That V shaped plate: C Yes, that's correct. The 'spring' is actually part of the pressure plate. Makes it even less fiddly to load as there is no separate...

Take the pressure plate out (with a K3, it just pulls out, its not connected at all).
Now in bright light, simply take a wooden stick (like a tooth pick) and clean off any dust you can see. Its a very easy task. It should be done often.

Yes, there is. as with all roll movie film, if it.has been in a camera then the end that was inserted into the slot in the spool will be folded slightly.

Wattage is power. Brightness comes down to power (wattage) rather than voltage. So go for more wattage (power) if you want greater brightnes. Bearing in mind of course that halogens are brighter than straigjt tungsten.
