Re: Interesting article on lenses
Many cinematographers have opted to use vintage lenses; because they have soul. When lenses are too sharp they become too clinical, sterile and devoid of any emotion. Manufacturers use lens sharpness as a marketing ploy. When you look at the instruction manuals of those high end Super 8 cameras with...

Canon interval timer E
Anyone here tried using the Canon Interval timer E with a non-Canon camera? It seems that even though the jack is the standard 3/32" width, it is shorter than other jacks. I think Canon designed them so that they could not be used with any other brands. I tried mine with a non-Canon camera and ...

Re: 30FPS
Thanks, I thought it was going to look too "Video-ish" but that does not look too bad. I am surprised at how much contrast that footage seems to have but it does mention that it was transferred on a cheap scanner so I am sure that is why.

Re: Interesting article on lenses
The article was just one example. I can show you countless others. But the point that a lot of photographers agree with, including those that shoot classic photographic emulsion, is that the older lenses had a certain "soul" to them. And that quantifying a lens solely based on "sharpn...

Interesting article on lenses
I found this interesting article on lenses. It basically points out that lenses that are too sharp can actually degrade an image. It mentions that some cinematographers are using old, vintage lenses that are decades old for this reason. When lenses are too sharp they create too much contrast which m...

30FPS
Does anyone have an examples of clips shot and transferred at 30 Frames per second? I'd really like to see how it looks.

Re: lab pricing for 8mm vision 3
You should get a Bolex H8 Reflex so that you can shoot the 100 foot roll.

Re: Kodak Film Prices
The prices have become "REDONKULOUS". And you notice that the new re-released Ektachrome is more expensive than the negative stocks. Kodak probably does not want it to cannibalize into their negative stocks. Also, Kodak may not want people to get too comfortable with Super 8 and not go up ...

Re: Vision 3 50D Double-Perforated - Sample Film
I love the convenience of those mag cameras. But when I moved I had to get rid of some things and that was one of them. I also figured with the decline of double perf 16mm film and the difficulty of loading the mags, if you don't want to pay exorbitantly for someone to do it for you, it just was not...

Re: No news from Ferrania is not good.
My concern is not the cost of film renew, it is the offensive ( and harmful) fumes that I don't want to deal with. Black and White is great but it will never replace color film. I realize that Polyester film stocks have issues, But this would be a great alternative to Kodachrome's archival qualities.
