Hi,

maybe you should link to the list of Super8-cameras in the Super8Wiki instead of linking to Puistot's list?! (The list in the Wiki is based on Puistot's, but it has been expanded and corrected since then.)

Hi, I haven't used any Pro8mm-material myself, but the internet is filled with jittery or even jamming cartridges and some problems with their processing/telecine... E.g.: http://groups.google.de/group/alt.movies.cinematography/browse_frm/thread/f445abb588de4f96/66adce80c63fd491?tvc=1&q=Pro8mm+p...

I believe my viewfinder is out of line on my Nizo 3048 camera, I cannot get the split image to line up at infinity settings, which it should, I can get to it by opening the front plate , but does anyone have any tips on how to adjust it? Doesn't that camera have a "Dioptrinausgleich" (a w...

Arrrgggllll! This makes it even more confusing!

I think you are right that the movies shown on board were actually a 2x compression Are you sure? The 2.25 : 1 (Super8/16mm's 1.33 : 1 used with a 1.75 anamorphot) is much closer to the 70mm-standard and the 35mm-anamorphic-standard than the 2.66 : 1 (2x anamorphot). Hence it would be much easier t...

8-[ At least I'm not on one of those pics! (I work very close to the building shown on the left (the one with the glass cube on top).

Hi,

this link (or the links on that page) should answer that question:

Hi reflex, Wittner's price drops to 15,99 EUR per cartridge (approx. 19US$) when buying 20 or more K40s at once (BTW: price includes shipment from Wittner to any place in Germany). I must admit that I didn't check Kodak, but only a few online-shops (Adorama: $12.95 without or $16.50 with PK-59 Movie...

Oh no! Even the S8-cartridge says "85B"!
I'll better get one of those in a second hand shop or eBay before everyone else feels the need to get a 85B and prices go up rocket-high! ;)

BTW: The German Schmalfilm now shows a picture of the 64T's cartridge (as you can see, it's definately a pre-production one):

Hi, thanks for those scans. At least it looks like the colours will be great and the grain will be less than on the Ektachrome 160 or the Tri-X, but more compared to the K40. So the 64T probably won't end up as a good replacement for the K40, but might be worth its money anyway. I still wonder how i...

You miss the point. I didn't miss the point - you missed my location on this planet ;) The K40 is sold for nearly the same price in the USA as in Europe (Europe is only 1-2US$ more). Nevertheless the European K40 includes processing by Kodak. Even though the actual prices at Super8labs or Andec won...

I guess that the soundtrack will be on the film (magnetic or optical soundtrack) and hence is edited with the film...

Hi, until now I thought that all anamorphic prints for Super8/16mm have been made for 2.0x Anamorphots. But I recently noticed that e.g. Kowa has released 1.75x Anamorphots - all (or nearly all) of them with an "INFLIGHT"-mark. So do I have to expect that those scope-"Aircopies"/...

64T listed for a processing price of $9.00!!! That's bad news: If I buy 10 or more K40 at once here in Germany I'll pay less than 19US$ per cartridge (incl. processing and shipping back!). And I doubt that the 64T will go for 10US$ (or less when the 9US$ doesn't incl. shipping the exposed film from...
