So the manual iris broke deal...I assume auto mode works fine still? I picked one up today in fantastic shape. But this is broken. The meter lights and meters perfectly with the trigger pulled part way.

The zoom is also sluggish. But honestly in such an odd place I'd rather use the stick.

9 year dead thread...cool! Just picked up a 512XL in fantastic condition. Well kept. I too though have a manual mode iris that isn't doing anything apparently. The knob pulls out fine and turns. But the needle goes to f/1.2 and stays. In auto mode the needle tracks light perfectly. But. Does that me...

It is possible to not store in a refrigerator. I shot DS8 Svema and in 6 months processed it with good results By the way, film Svema was " process before 1992 " and is still good! ___________________________ Best regards from Russia ! Alexander, super 8mm filmmaker from Russia, Krasnoyar...

Yeah, 100' spool ain't that big! only like a 4"x1" box. I will double wrap them first in Ziploc sandwhich bags, and then a big freezer bad. I'm thinking the freezer might be better because we have a huge chest type freezer that doesn't circulate air to produce cold...might be lower humidit...

I have some 7239 and 7250 in my refrigerator and wondering if it's worth keeping.Bono Labs in Arlington,Va who used to process my VNF discontinued the service.If anyone knows who still processes VNF in the US(preferably on the east coast US)please let me know. Yale Film does not process VNF and B&a...

I think my subject says it all. I have 8 rolls of film I shot of 16mm movie film. All either Tri-X B&W or color Kodak films. I do not have the money right now for developing at $25/roll (100' each). What is the best way to store these until I can? Should I just keep them in a dark cool place? Or...

I once left alot of exposed footage on the floor of a car which got very hot - it developed okay and they guy in the lab told me unexposed film is more succeptable to heat damage than exposed but undevelopd film. I think you'll find it's cooler inside the van than you think. Whether or not it's on ...

Thanks a lot guys! I'm sure the tub it is in is burried amongst everything. I just remember being up in the truck help supervise loading. It was 95 degrees at my place, and 'prolly 10 degrees warmer inside the truck. It is just for a couple days...all I can do at this point is hope for the best anyh...

Hi guys. We are in process of moving from SoCal to Colorado. I left all my films, gear, and chemical film cleaner/conditioner in a tub to be put in the car. When we were loading up the car to leave, I realized all of it ended up in the 53' moving truck that is destined for New Mexico and Arizona. I'...

Sorry to hear that man...well...I'm planning on taking the H16 RX down there to Disney...but first, what I really need to do is get a changing bag big enough for the beast....I have 2 rolls of B&W and 4 rolls of color waiting for that big day!

Hey all...I'm just curious to know who is planning on shooting some old school movies of their families running through Disneyland for their 50th anniversary?

Anyone? anyone? Bueller?

The box of super8 actually states the 85b. if the color temp is different by 200k there will be a difference in ASA that is faster than 80 ASA . huh? What speed will I be running then? 80? I only need to know so I can plug it into my digital lightmeter. thanks sam Yes, outdoors with the 85b filter ...
