i don't think it is just ageing cameras. if it were only that, then single 8 would be unsteady too - they're just as old but a lot more steady because the design is better.

Re: Forums

Could this be why Kodak can't get 64t into the shops, because all their staff are surfing the Net. First, I work in Kodak Customer Technical Services, not marketing or manufacturing, so I have little to do with the introduction schedules of new films. Kodak supports my efforts to help customers whe...

Hia, I love Tri-X, specially when you use some filtering to enhance the contrast etc.... :D I think one of the best UK prices is from Take2: http://www.take2films.co.uk/Index.htm The prices are ex VAT if I remember correctly, but still way cheaper than those mentioned. Have fun! Ben Keep shooting t...

I'm still struggling with the link between "the summer of love" and driving a Ford!!!!!!!!! Those darn ad-men! they seem to be dreaming about not being in a car. which makes sense, because if they were to show the reality - tediuous traffic jams, pollution, bascially wasting huge amouts o...

I've had 3 tri-x carts jam on me. I'm convinced it's not the cameras as its never happened with K40 in the same cams & i've shot a lot more K40. I got the carts moving again by twisting the dial on the back of the carts by hand. Haven't returned the carts to Kodak as i wanted to keep the footage...
