Re: Kodak awakens, new S8 camera announced at CES '16

Living where I do in the north of England I have regular access to to the National Media Museum in Bradford. T...

Re: Kodak awakens, new S8 camera announced at CES '16

I missed this one having been away for a while. This morning though I was reading an article in a professional engineering magazine on the topic of digital versus film. Along with the better appearance of a filmed original there are evidently a few technical reasons for using film. On is that 35mm i...

Re: Could use a little more help processing films

It is a while since I processed a movie film but I still regularly process camera films. As far as I remember I dried the cine film outside on the washing line! I know what you mean about film dirt. You wash it for ages, hang it out ot dry and then you find all sorts on it. I suspect there is an ele...

Re: Digital refuseniks

I have always been a great believer in old tech + new tech. I too use analogue cameras, I have quite a collection. Anyhow what got me going again is the ease of scanning the negatives. I was definitely not a fan of enlarging, especially spotting which is a doddle on even a basic photo programme. I e...

Splitting & perforating bulk film

Other than the well know companies I do not know if anyone else has fancied having a go. Anyhow here are some offerings from Ilford for 50'/100' rolls of varying width.

Re: Kodak Super XX Film Info Needed

Isn't this stuff the same as Tri-X but rated at 200asa. It is while since I used it but i just developed it to a negative and reversed after videoing it!

I just used a basic developer, probably Paterson or Ilford. Anyhow it worked. Bit grainy though.

Re: new digital camera better than 35mm film?!

Remember: Nothing is forever. :ymsigh: Anyone carrying a flag for analogue video? ;) Anyone carrying a flag for tape? ;;) I actually have a nice Canon digital tape camcorder. While 576 is not quite as good as 720 on our domestic TV there is very little difference. I am thinking of using this Canon a...
