Thanks Mitch, that is very helpful. I gave all that a go and had some partial success. After poking those switches above the red wire you mention, the camera motor does indeed run, indicating that solenoid is working. This would leave, I guess, the trigger switch block. Unless you advise against it,...

Thanks Mitch (and thanks also to AJ for sending me some JPGs of his Nizo). I cleaned up the area, stripped back the white wires, soldered them back where they were (either side of the diode), and... no luck. All I can think of is either a dead solenoid or worse, e.g. no current is getting to the sol...

Nizo Professional electronic fix?
Hi, I wonder if any filmshooter here (with a knowledge of electronics!) has come across this problem and might know a way of fixing it? I recently won a Nizo Pro off ebay, very cheap as seller could not run it. Indeed the motor doesn't run (but everything else seems to works fine, e.g. light-meter, ...

For a simple standards conversion (PAL <> NTSC) on PCs, VirtualDub (virtualdub.org) does a great job, but you have to set the paramaters (frame size, FPS) manually. There is also an MPEG2 version that allows you open VOB files directly, so you can do your conversion and export for viewing or re-auth...

Spain, Brazil, New Zealand, Italy and South Africa to UK no problems so far with fresh or exposed S8/16mm stock. I usually say I have film + camera equipment in my hand-luggage as a courtesy, so they are less likely to want to inspect. If you have a lot of stock, especially 16mm it is good to ring a...

I borrowed another meter just to be sure, and the internal meter was definitely out by a good stop and a bit. It was fairly straight forward to adjust, so if anyone wants to know this is what I did. I opened the top cover of the Electric Eye (EE) below, http://www.tdelfs.plus.com/filmshooting/Scoopi...

Storaro InCamera article
In case anyone missed it, an interview with the light painter himself: http://www.kodak.com/US/en/motion/hub/incam.jhtml
BTW, InCamera is not exactly small gauge, but they cover S16 and occasionally S8. It is also sent out free.

Is the lens on the M sharper than the old grey models? Those lenses are kind of soft to me. I don't know yet, I hope to do some tests soon and I will try various stops to see where it performs better, I need to do that to check the light meter is working anyway. Vidwerk, thanks for the info on Aran...

Thanks vidwerk, I'll give that a go. I've since found out that it is possible to adjust the sensitivity of the internal lightmeter by adjusting a potentiometer housed inside the front block on top of the Electronic Eye. So if it is out at least there are DIY options. I have a page from the repair ma...
