Your new products looks really great, Roger.

One question: You say about the new UV emitters: "This makes dialing in the sensor levels for clear edge film or film with clear patches (like R8) much easier."

Does this mean that it is possible to find a sensor level that is OK for all types of film ...

Very interesting! Looking forward to read more about your new products on your website.

Andreas, it would be interesting to hear about your experiences with the Müller HDS scanner.

Is it working well?

Do you perhaps have some scanned film examples to show?

Charlie

Great! I am looking forward for the next part!

Nice to see your new product, very interesting!

Well, this unit presumes that the film is flat and not warped. So there may be some films that simply will not run on the normal gates but we are working on some specialty gates specifically for warped film.

If I understand your words above and the ...

The German company MWA-Nova have 4 versions of film scanners on their web. You can find them here:

But I think they are very expensive, more expensive than the Muller HDS.

The Company Filmfabriek in the Netherlands is coming with a new scanner for 8mm, 9,5 mm and 16 mm (all in one scanner) called Muller HDS. It can also handle sound. Estimated shipping june 2015.

You can read about it here:

What do you think about that?

I have also downloaded and installed the free DaVinci Reslove Lite from Blackmagicdesign. A lot to learn how to manage this program...

I also noticed that the program occupies the whole screen. The same in my both computers, one with Win7 and the other with Win8.

I haven't got a solution how to ...

Thanks Clive.

I hope you will have some transfer samples available soon.

Charlie

Clive, when you have the scanner in manual exposure mode, do you then adjust the light from the lamp, or do you adjust the shutter speed (or something else) in the camera?

Another question: will it be possible to use larger reels (240 meter, 800 feet) in some way?

Charlie

I read on the Tobin web that the new 8mm scanner is now possible to pre-order.

Interesting! I hope Tobin will publish some transfer samples soon.

/Charlie

Tobin now has a little more information about the new scanner:

He also asks if there is any interest in a similar product for 16 mm.

Charlie

Tobin is developing a new 8mm scanner:

Will be interesting to read more about it when it is ready.

Charlie

Thank you, Roger.

A question to Roger:

When I look at the photo of Retro-8 and compare it to a photo of for example WorkPrinter XP, if I understand it correctly I see that the camera is looking at the 8mm film from different sides of the film.

For WorkPrinter XP the MoviesStuff information text is:

And unlike ...
