Well I just wanted to post back saying I got my Yashica disassembled partially and used a combination of a VERY light coat of white lithium grease and some TriFlow in some of the harder to reach spots and the camera now purrs like a kitten rather than wailing like a banshee. I hope it stays in good ...

Well with many new expenses and tons of working hours I have not had much chance to further develop my 8mm film shooting hobby. As some of you may remember I have a collection of mainly regular 8mm and one univex 8mm movie camera. I haven't developed my camera collection much recently (no pun intend...

James, I send out all of my processing B&W to Film and Video Services and while I do include a notification that the stock is 7363, I do not think it requires any other considerations (compared with say CineX). The film is extremely slow - exposed at 10 ASA I got some good exposures, although be...

Mat I've found that R8 film is an outrageously priced comodity these days. I seldom can afford to shoot film, but the flip side is that I usually try to make it count when I get it. :) The film I'm planning on selling was bought from a reputable ebay seller in its current state. He mentioned the nam...

Yes, it has been reperforated for regular 8mm cameras. Works well, feeds smoothly through both of my cameras.

OK so I bought a bunch of Kodak 7363 film stock that was reperfed for regular 8mm. Not 100% sure on its age, but I am 100% certain that it will develop nicely. In fact I was surprised at how "normal" it came out. It definitely has an odd thing where the red is a "velvety" black a...

I have the same camera, and have researched and posted extensively here about it. Univex Straight 8 is the same perforation and pitch as regular double 8mm film, only it is slit in half. I don't know if Kahl film will work or not, but John Schwind will slit and spool film for you if you provide him ...

Thanks for the responses guys. I will call Film and Video Services sometime this week and ask them if they can process the film, and I will post up their response here for the future. Hand processing is an option for me - I am no stranger to using tanks and reels with still cameras anyway, but I hav...

http://www.rwhirled.com/landlist/landdcam-pvis.htm I would suggest looking at the brief article on the Polaroid Land List. I am a lifetime Polaroid enthusiest, but I don't have much interest in Polavision. It represents the beginning of the end for Polaroid. Had they been able to mobilize the techno...

Hi everybody. I have an old Univex sub miniature movie camera, and I believe i have found two film spools for them as well. I recently fired off an email to John Schwind and he tells me he's willing to slit and respool some Cine-X black and white stock for me to shoot. The question I have is how I s...

OK, let me update this post - it's been quite a while I know, but I finally found something to film and sent it out to Film and Video Services. Shooting this TriX, emulsion number 7207, I found best results lie between 40 and 80 ASA. This is actually pretty nice film stock, so I think I'll shoot out...

Let me solve this riddle by posting the stuff I actually bought: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=300179106676&ssPageName=STRK:MEWN:IT&ih=020 Hopefully you can still see the link. I don't have very much to lose, as I want to make a machine to re wind 100 foot s...

Dwayne's Photo and Film and Video services are the two places that process my film - Dwayne's for color (they do either E6 "Ectachrome", or K14 "Kodachrome), and FVS does my black and white. I second looking for John Schwind's website - I've bought from him several times in the past. ...

Having never shot super 8, I can't say too much about super 8 cameras, but I agree that regular 8mm has the market cornered on weird cameras. That said, I tend to have a soft spot for turret cameras. Something about that droopy three-eyed appearance... Lots of Bolex fans among the R8 crowd. I have n...

I was looking over my camera collection tonight - I have most of it in my dorm room right now and I was looking over my two (working) 8mm movie cameras, and I was thinking about some of my favorite cameras. For still photography, I prefer my RicohFlex IIIb by far. It's pretty much the cheapest Ricoh...
