That tuner is certainly something I would want to rent and play around with. I'm looking forward to it getting more out into the market. As for the original question; my biggest concern would be re-tuning the lens if needed! Honestly, for the price to de-tune you might as well rent something else and if the lenses aren't rocking with what you like, maybe a better idea to sell and buy up some that are. Lenses are nice in that they really don't seem to loose to much value despite how old they are (and in fact the older ones seem to be worth more).

I never abhorred the answer merely stated I am not technical in understanding what you described. Thank you for taking the time to answer I appreciate it very much.

The perf issue was one that I was particularly asked to test for so I assume they are working on it.

Sallust, The Catiline Conspiracy 2. If kings and rulers had any brains in peace as they have in war, human society would be stable and just. Governments would not pass from one confusion to a worse one, with all things continuously changing for the worse. Obviously, power is best maintained by those positive qualities which built our strength in the first place. But when laziness replaces thought, and greed and lawlessness overthrow all self-restraint and caring, the fortune of the empire deteriorates along with its morals. And so it goes—power moving from one imbecile to another, and the best no longer an option. * Emerson The authority of government is an impure one: to be strictly just, it must have the sanction and consent of the governed. It can have no pure right over my person and property but what I concede to it. The progress from an absolute to a limited monarchy, from a limited monarchy to a democracy, is a progress toward a true respect for the individual. Even the Chinese philosopher was wise enough to regard the individual as the basis of the empire. Is a democracy, such as we know it, the last improvement possible in government? Is it not possible to take a step further towards recognizing and organizing the rights of man? * H. G. Wells, A Short History of the World If the dangers, confusions and disasters that crowd upon humanity in these days are enormous beyond any experience of the past, it is because science has brought us such powers as we never had before.

Kubrick Treasure Hunt Q : How many times has the kind reader watched A Clockwork Orange? Has the viewer ever noticed the following three shots—flash cuts. And where are they? https://i.pinimg.com/originals/18/2f/09/182f096769129a9331370cb04825e3aa.jpg https://i.pinimg.com/originals/92/d2/67/92d267cffdf89049a466f50f64c8e1f7.jpg https://i.pinimg.com/originals/08/9c/02/089c028948d1a508ae23303eed1dafbd.jpg Best wishes.

Hi, I recently uploaded 10 Super 8 and 16mm film clips, all shot within the last year and graded to a high standard, to a site that seems to have a high profile and seemed to be saying that they wanted more film footage clips, but my clips were rejected. Okay, maybe not the best clips, but I thought pretty interesting especially when compared to what this site already had up for sale. Anyway, so that was my experience with that site. I'm pretty sure I can sell my clips elsewhere. Can anyone help me out with advice as to what sites are most likely to be looking for Super 8 and 16mm film clips? I find all the advice on YouTube to be aimed at digital video makers. Thanks!

Hello, I am sure we can help you with film stock and labwork.

You were asking something technical, so you mustn’t abhor the answer. It is not as simple as it's 25fps at 180 degree shutter and thats it. Is the motor crystal controlled or by some electronics (which is not my field at all)? You won’t see flicker but slow increase and decrease of light intensity. I think it’s called interference pumping.

A bit of fun The flower of fire (so to speak) visible as the final sight of Alex’s nighttime imaginings in A Clockwork Orange (20:01) suggests a metaphorical view of the Spirit— Heidegger. As flame, Spirit is the storm that “storms the sky” and “chases God”. —and therefore is one anticipation of thematic resonances of the Trinity blast in Oppenheimer. —also recalls Satan as a rising pillar of fire in Last Temptation of Christ (59:20). * Colour—a predominance of the classic Renaissance combination green and red—connotes through association that Mr. Deltoid is as much a “Droog” in his way as Alex is in his. https://i.pinimg.com/originals/d1/54/e9/d154e9ed9a69f7238f68906a237d79f8.jpg (6:21) https://i.pinimg.com/originals/1b/6a/37/1b6a37ac88cc7279bfb623eaa4cf273e.jpg (22:27) * Coincidence. Visible at (26:15) is British Vogue (October 1970) with Maudie James on the cover. Apparently Kubrick wanted to film EWS since around 1970. Maudie James was born in Somerset, England. “Somerton” is the name of an eighth-century town in the county of Somerset, England.

Not necessarily, you just have to find somebody who is passionate enough to invest the time and money into either reverse engineering the Celco tubes or starting from scratch, custom CRTs are still manufactured in the states so it could be done.

I can't say for certain but I suspect not. I think the width of the rear element is the issue rather than the depth. It did fit on a Kish 16mm viewfinder.

thanks for the reply but far too technical for me im afraid.....hahaha....I dont see any flicker when I look through the viewfinder of my Aaton...I don't use a monitor....plus I cant adjust anything on the Aaton either.....it's 25fps at 180 degree shutter and thats it.....it's a modern LED light strip on the ceiling and overhead thats im asking about.....

The shutter of your camera must be in synch with the pulsating light. Therefore you use a synchronous motor run off the same grid sector as the lamps or a crystal controlled motor plus a phase shifting unit. You can also observe the light in the reflex viewfinder, it should be at a minimum while adjusting the motor. Then the maximum happens during exposure. No need of adjusting anything with LEDs on DC or well smoothed-out AC.

....so there I was happy as a clam as they say and I was shooting my Aaton with Vision3 500T 16mm film inside in a room that was lit with a couple of overhead LED tube lights.....plus one light that I brought along.....so day two of shooting and the person I'm shooting tells me......when I record video with the mobile the light flickers, no problem with your camera right........so I went blank and carried on......but with that doubt in my mind hahahah.......I know MY light won't show flicker......but the two overheads????? we're in Europe obviously..... Can anyone share wisdom on this with me without any of the deep science......

As I understand it, ORWO's perf-pitch problems arose from that fact that they pitched their camera negatives to "long-pitch" which is meant for print stock and 35mm still film? I don't know how the perf-pitch machines work but I wonder if they can set it to "short-pitch" for stock meant for camera negatives, run those batches and then switch back to long-pitch for still camera/ print stock film?

Beautiful lens still available at extremely good price.

I think this is the same Fries Ultra65 that Richard Bennett down at Cinemagear talked about restoring in his blog last year. https://cinemagear.com/blog/tag/imax/ I think there were only three made, this one is s/n 003. I think that Arnie Peterson did the electronics upgrade.

Made a mistake. Movie with Cinemascope special is not 'Summer Stock' it is 'The Girl Can't Help It.' (1956)

Huh I thought the Aatons had more clearance than the SRs. Does that mean the 20mm won’t fit on the SRs?

Hello everyone! I'm DPing a short film that will be shot on a hybrid digital (Alexa mini LF) and super 16mm format in 3 weeks time. The 16mm will be shot on a 16SR(1) that a dear friend of mine recently bought and got modulated to super 16. The camera, however, does not have a video tap to allow us to use a video assist. And we really need one. My friend has bought a video tap, but removing the camera's exposure meter and soldering that in will be too complicated / time-consuming a task to complete in time for this shoot in 3 weeks' time. Instead, our current plan to bypass this problem is to 3D print a makeshift attachment that we can put onto the viewfinder eyepiece, that will allow us to attach a small CCTV camera through which we can get a feed for our video assist. However, time is running short and there may not be time to try out and troubleshoot this idea. In the meantime, I was wondering if any hero here might already have made such a mechanism and could help me out? I'd hugely appreciate it if so. Any other ideas if anyone has them would also be warmly welcomed 🙂 Thanks all in advance, Chaa.

I finished up 20-month test from 9.1.22 to 5.1.24 and SDD worked fine. Next test is early 2025.
