6K?! Was that because they required a minimum order? Will you start a business selling it? Or is it to make a feature film using many cameras?

It was a lucky find by a UK third party who distributed it and it was one to each. I guess it is all gone.

I found that if I project a negative upside down it will bounce! The negative will project solidly if it is done right side up. That was strange. It may effect prints. I developed reversal and am trying to perfect doing that. I am real close to getting it right. I post my results and procedures so o...

ORWO UN54 Cine-X was reversed, evaluated, and reported on in several postings on YouTube and Facebook/Home movie film lab https://www.facebook.com/groups/1833878160190581/ It is my best report yet. I should be able to do anything I want to with it now. Reversal has such a narrow range of correct exp...

Film is available again at Int. Film Brokers. So the perforator is running. Oops, NOT. Email from J. S. Current stock came from Kahl, ORWO will no longer supply, the man in London who perfs film is sick. Does Kahl perf film? Is that an individual of a company? This is all so secretive and mysterious...

Unknown. I only have un54 to try it on and have not done so, yet.

My interest using DR8 was educational, not economic. Students readily engaged with the equipment and teaching was easy. I want to give them prints to project. But that requires lots of film and processing, which becomes economic. There are a lot of students and schools. Bored jaded students, sitting...

I would really like to order some 100 foot rolls of Double Regular 8mm Foma to shoot in my Bolex H series cameras. I do not have a Double Super 8mm Bolex. BTW, I got really good results developing Foma R-100 myself using the developing kit from Freestyle and then switching to the tech sheet from Fom...

Hear, Hear. Foma sells commercially all over. Major companies sell it. It is the only double regular 8mm film available. International Film Brokers web site is out of date and out of R8 film. At least we have one film. There is one man in London who perforates film, or at least he used to up until a...

A round bottomed H Bolex will fit this bracket. This is a H8 but the H16T fits, too.

It is very easy to switch positions so the crank may be accessed. The side viewfinder fits, but only just fits.

There is one video on YouTube showing how to load 50' mags. I have them and have done it from time to time.

Sometimes the film does not stay in the notch on the take up spool. I always apply a slight pressure on the reels with my finger tips after loading and run a few inches before closing the cover to make sure film is indeed being taken up. This is done in a darkroom, totally dark, no "safe" ...

That is probably the single most important technique in filmmaking to use. And I routinely ignored it in all my tests, except the STEADYCAM test. However I tried to steady my camera on fences, bike racks, phone poles, and stop signs but I still got movement. I took off my glasses and pressed the cam...
