Hi Thomas Do you still have the IVS? attila@filmgears.co.uk

I didn't have this easy way to digitize my film collection when I first started with film. I used to write everything down in a notebook. But eventually it got too much and was not kept up. If I had to do it all over again, I'd record films as they are purchased, as soon as bought...before they even arrive. I'm not much of a computer person, so using digital record keeping was not natural for me. Even now I use a simple system of making folders and sub folders in one master film archive folder. Works fine for me. I can search for films to see what I got. Here is an example search for Eskimo films. I hope to someday finish with the record keeping. I got just under 1700 films done, but still have 2000 - 2500 more films to do. + a few hundred 8mm + 1000+ VHS and Beta tapes. I need a lacky intern to do some of this grunt work! As I posted about earlier, it would be nice to have a snapshot scan in each folder to see a synopsis of the film in under a minute. I found a way to get still samples from the single image scans pretty easy to make a sampler. But it requires a regular scan to do it. A sampler scanner would do it right quick and effortlessly or near so. But no one makes them. I ran the idea by a scan company, but they just tried to sell me a regular scanner. <><><><> Selection from Email / Fax SPAM Collection Daniel D. Teoli Jr. Archival Collection Daniel D.

Thank you Dirk. I will get in touch towards the end of the month

A criminal speaks : Black Will. I love the smell of gunpowder. (Arden of Faversham, 9.8) —in the morning? * The Interpretation of Dreams Arden. This night I dreamed that . . . . . . Franklin. This fantasy doth rise from Michael’s fear . . . (Arden, 6.6–31) Vittoria. To pass away the time, I’ll tell your grace A dream I had last night . . . . . . Bracciano. Sweetly shall I interpret this your dream . . . (The White Devil, 1.2.224–61) Duchess. I had a very strange dream tonight. Antonio. What was ’t? Duchess. Methought I wore my coronet of state, And on a sudden all the diamonds Were chang’d to pearls. Antonio. My interpretation Is, you’ll weep shortly, for to me the pearls Do signify your tears. (Duchess of Malfi, 3.5.12–7) * Mosby. And then? Alice. And then—conceal the rest, for ’tis too bad— (Arden, 8.62–3) Dr Bill. Why don’t you tell me the rest of it? Alice. It’s too awful. * Freud, Der Wahn und die Träume in W. Jensens “Gradiva” (Leipzig : Franz Deuticke, 1912), 2. die Dichter . . . denn sie pflegen eine Menge von Dingen zwischen Himmel und Erde zu wissen, von denen sich unsere Schulweisheit noch nichts träumen läßt. Storytellers . . . know many things that our academic wisdom has never yet dreamt of. * Franklin. Ay, by my faith; the air is very cold. (Arden, 4.106) Hamlet. The air bites shrewdly; it is very cold. (1.4.1) THE SHAKESPEAREAN CONNECTION to Arden of Faversham is plausible. Shakespeare—a playwright in his early period designated as “1592” (the date, btw, of Arden of Faversham) experiments in various genres such as history, comedy, revenge tragedy; and also attempts a domestic murder story. Plausible? Yes. Can Scrooby find significant connections between Arden and, say, Macbeth? Yes. Can it be proven that Shakespeare wrote even a single word of Arden of Faversham? No. At any rate, whichever master poet wrote the play had a magnificent command of the art of storytelling. Whoever wrote Arden of Faversham was an Original Master of Suspense. * The Big Sleep Michael. Before you [ Arden ] lies Black Will and Shakebag. . . . They’ll be your ferrymen to long home. (Arden, 10.44–6) * Preston Sturges? The Coen Brothers? The plan to murder Thomas Arden undergoes revision due to unforeseen circumstances and/or the appearance of a new bright idea how many times? 1. Plan A (1.145) 2. Plan B (2.98) 3. Plan C (3.38–40) 4. Plan D (3.172–8) 5. Plan E (5.60–3) 6. Addendum to all plans (8.23–43) 7. Plan F (9.46–50) 8. Plan G (10.147) 9. Plan H (10.79) 10. Plan I (12.47–8) 11. Plan J (12.61–9) 12. Plan K (14.72–3) 13. Plan L (14.115–22) * Maximum suspense, outrageous duplicity De Niro. It’s over there, on the corner. . . . No, go ahead. It’s right in there. (Goodfellas, 2:10:58) Alice. Nay, if thou loved me as thou dost pretend . . . Thou would have followed him. . . . Arden. I know my wife counsels me for the best. I’ll seek out Mosby. . . . (Arden, 13.121–50) * Will. Greene and we two will dog him through the fair, And stab him in the crowd, and steal away. (Arden, 72–3) Black Will, for all of his vicious bluster throughout the whole of the play, finally admits—in a cringeworthy blast of prose-bluster—he’s never killed a man before (14.10–27). —recalling The Scholfield Kid in Unforgiven (1:47:21). * Alice is as wily and evil as Clytemnestra— e.g. Mosby. [ aside ] Oh, how cunningly she can dissemble [ act false ] ! No surprise, then : Mosby. And let your husband sit upon a stool, That I may come behind him cunningly And with a towel pull him to the ground, Them stab him till his flesh be as a sieve. (Arden, 14.116–9) Clytemnestra. He is unable to escape or defend Against his fate because I throw over him, As if catching a fish, an ample garment That snares him in its evil wealth of fabric. I strike him twice, and with two loud cries his limbs Give way beneath him; and when he falls I put in A third blow, my prayer-offering to Zeus Of the Underworld, preserver of the dead. Fallen there, he gasps out his life, and with each Sharp breath strikes me with dark drops of bloody dew, And I rejoiced no less than bursting flower-buds Rejoicing over Heaven-sent springtime rains. (Aeschylus, Agamemnon, 1381–92) * Pynchonistic Will. Thou knowest, Greene, that I have lived in London this twelve years, where I have made some go upon wooden legs for taking the wall on me. i.e., a pedestrian passing him on the inside rather than politely giving way and stepping out into the street. (Arden, 14.5–7) [ “A gentleman . . . takes the curb side of the pavement.” Emily Post, Etiquette in Society, in Business, in Politics, and at Home (1922), ch5. ] Charles Mason, on walking the pavements of an English city : “Oh, one may, if one wishes, find Insult at ev’ry step,—from insolent Stares to mortal Assault, and Orgy of Insult interrupted. . . . There never be time enough to acknowledge, let alone to resent, such a mad Variety of offer’d Offense.” Pynchon, Mason&Dixon (Stuttgart : Holtzbrinck Publishing Group, 1997), 14. * Thomas Arden is murdered right after the stage direction— [ He throws the dice ] It’s a Taxi Driver–like burst of cathartic violence, as Black Will, Shakebag, and Alice all stab the defenseless man until dead. Alice. Take this for hind’ring Mosby’s love and mine! * Many currents (Ξάνθου ἄπο δινήεντος) are active at the murder scene— Alice. And, Susan, fetch water and wash away this blood. Susan. The blood cleaveth to the ground and will not out. Alice. But with my nails I’ll scrape away the blood;— The more I strive, the more the blood appears! Susan. What’s the reason, Mistress, can you tell? Alice. Because I blush not at my husband’s death. (Arden, 14.251–6) But keep the wolf far thence, that’s foe to men, For with his nails he’ll dig them up again. (The White Devil, 5.4.101–2 & The Waste Land, 75–6.) * Scene 14 The post-murder Situation is strikingly contemporary in its vision—e.g., the growing suspense of Alice’s pretence of innocence beginning to hit false notes : Mosby. [ aside ] She will undo us with her foolishness. (14.303) Finally the mechanics of hiding the body undoes them all : Susan. As we went it snowéd all the way, Which makes me fear our footsteps will be spied. Alice. Peace, fool! The snow will cover them again. (Arden, 14.354–5) Alice’s confidence is misplaced. When the authories come knocking, the jig is up for her and her conspirators : Franklin. I fear me he was murdered in this house And carried to the fields, for from that place Backwards and forwards may you see The print of many feet within the snow. (Arden, 14.389–2) Hitchcock might have penned this production. * The two lovers turn on each other after the murder in perfect Double Indemnity–style : Mosby. How long shall I live in this hell of grief? Convey me from the presence of that strumpet. Alice. Ah, but for thee I had never been strumpet. (Arden, 18.12–3) * Two innocents are condemned to die along with the conspiracy of criminals—one man simply for politely delivering a letter; and the other is the young Susan, a servingmaid. As for evil Alice? Mayor. Bear Mistress Arden unto Canterbury, Where her sentence is, she must be burnt. (Arden, 18.30–1) * Shakespeare’s Arden of Faversham—the strikingly modern narrative that anticipated an infinite number of thrillers.

Just a quick update. While I was cleaning the camera up and getting it running I took lots of photos and explored as much as I could. Mostly as I found virtually no info on the net, and I really like exploring a new camera.... so I figured I would use the opportunity to put the photos online, with a brief description about the camera and what I found. I could not find a manual anywhere, so hopefully from my descriptions of the various functions, helps anyone else who comes across a Newman Sinclair camera. https://aussiecinerepair.wordpress.com/newan-sinclair-ns400/

added new 28 and 35mm super speeds. lens pictures link below https://www.instagram.com/p/C6jhJEWCA48/?igsh=MzRlODBiNWFlZA==

If a working machine comes out of this discussion I'd love to be a patron buying some Double 8mm film stock or perhaps be a kickstarter contributor to help get it going. Not looking for large quantities, just want to see perforation of 16mm film available in the world.

Guys can you tell me is it worth it to sell the HAWK VINTAGE SET ...is there any market for this set on the Film Market probaly for big feauture films I ahve the possibility to buy one in the future thats why I am asking . Can you shae your thoughts with me ? Attila Somos Filmgears UK

Good as new!

Re-assembled to the correct orientation for the H8 with new grease.

Shakespearean Burn™ Arden. [ holding sword ] mark my words, You goodman botcher, ’tis to you I speak: The next time that I take thee near my house, Instead of legs I’ll make thee crawl on stumps. (Arden of Faversham, 1.314–7) * Lavinia’s rapist-mutilators mock her debilitated body after the terrible fact for ten carefree, cruel, relaxed, devil-may-care lines : Demetrius. So now go tell, an if thy tongue can speak, Who ’twas that cut thy tongue and ravished thee. Chiron. Write down thy mind, bewray [ reveal ] thy meaning so, An if thy stumps will let thee play the scribe. The Extreme Conversational . . . [ She takes the staff in her mouth, and guides it with her stumps, and writes ] . . . as . . . Saturninus. Go fetch Chiron and Demetrius to us. Titus. Why, there they are both, bakéd in that pie; Whereof their mother daintily hath fed, Eating the flesh that she herself hath bred. . . . Famous Last Words. (Titus Andronicus, 2.4.1–10 / 4.1.78 (s.d.) / 5.3.60–3) * Preston Sturges? Coen Brothers? By the start of scene 3, three separate Reasons for Murder are conspiring concurrently against one man, Thomas Arden, a gentleman of Faversham. 1. Alice Arden his wife and Mosby her lover conspire the death of him for their own pleasure. (cf. 1.133–41; 220–25) 2. His neighbour Greene seeks vengeance on him for stealing his land, and hires two murderers to do the deed. (cf. 2.81–108) 3. Arden’s servant Michael hopes to marry Mosby’s sister, but requires Mosby’s permission to do so. Evil Alice promises Michael all shall be well with his nuptial hopes if her husband ends up dead. So Michael believes Alice is helping him. (cf. 1.145–7 / 3.139–41) While this Situation presents itself as potentially farcical, the play’s dialogue is not funny. No, Arden of Faversham is not a comedy-drama. The triple-murder Situation is presented by storyteller Anonymous as a straight-faced riveting thriller. * Michael. [ musing to himself ] Ah, harmless Arden, how hast thou misdone, That thus thy gentle life is levelled at? (3.189–90) Anton. If the rule you followed brought you to this, of what use was the rule? * Woody Allen. The country makes me nervous. . . . You got Dick and Perry. . . . (Annie Hall, 23:25) * The two hired murderers Black Will and Shakebag. Will. Give me the money, and I’ll stab him as he stands pissing against a wall, but I’ll kill him. (2.95–6) Will. We’ll kill him. Shakebag. Ay, thy mother, thy sister, thy brother, or all thy kin. (2.88–9) Greene. The first [ walking toward us ] is Arden, and that’s his man; The other is Franklin, Arden’s dearest friend. Will. Zounds, I’ll kill them all three. Greene. Nay, sirs, touch not his man in any case. (3.34–7) * * * Balthazar. What, would you have us play a tragedy? (The Spanish Tragedy, 4.1.86) Will. I tell thee, Greene, the forlorn traveller Whose lips are glued with summer’s parching heat Ne’er longed so much to see a running brook As I to finish Arden’s tragedy. (Arden of Faversham, 3.94–7) Hippolito. You flow well, brother. . . . Duke. I cannot brook— [ dies ] (Revenger’s Tragedy, 2.3.146 / 3.6.223 ) Monsieur. There is a glass of ink where you may see How to make ready black-fac’d Tragedy. (Bussy D’Ambois, 4.2.109–10) Talbot. accurséd fatal hand That hath contrived this woeful tragedy! (1 Henry 6, 1.4.76–7) Vindice. When the bad bleeds, then is the tragedy good. (Revenger’s Tragedy, 3.5.205)

The focus ring was cleaned and re-greased. Not it is nice and smooth.

The focus ring was still stuck. Under the thick grease is a locking screw that needs to be removed to get to the focus ring.

The focus mechanism came apart with exactly two turns. It was not that bad, but it was cleaned and re-greased. This one appeared to be simple threads with a single start location, not really a helicoid.

The grease had turned into something resembling wax.

Mark the focus mechanism before sliding the lens apart.

Three screws around the perimeter can be removed to access the frozen focus mechanism. If I plan on re-assembling in the exact same way, I remove the screws all the way, so the indentations can be seen to aid re-assemble. In this case, I will rotate the lens when I re-assemble it, so the index marks are in the correct place for the H8.

I picked up this mint condition Yvar 75mm lens for my H8 Bolex. The optics are perfect, but the focus ring is frozen.

I found a 75mm Yvar and it works great on my H8 non-REX with the adapter I got off e-bay. For those that don't use 8mm, the lens is useable on that camera because the H8 Octameter has a 75mm setting. After servicing the helicoid, it was easy to re-assemble the lens so the index marks were in the correct positon with the adapter in place. For this camera I want the index marks of all the lenses on the left side.

CS is the abbreviation of C mount, short. It’s not 25 mm but the imperial measure one inch diameter, 32 turns per inch pitch, 60 degrees flank angle thread. Or UN 1"-32, generally class 2. There are cameras that carry the Bell & Howell A, B or C mount. We speak of the length of an adapter or a thread. An inch is 25,400 mm.

Just to let members know: there is a clever and cheap series of cs adapters available for very little $$$ on eBay. A 'CS adapter' is usually 5mm deep and is 25M or 25mm diameter, and enables c mounts to be used on cs cameras, usually for machine vision purposes. The less usual ones are 10, 15 and 20mm long. Using one will bring objects closer to the sensor and enable greater magnification. Infinity focus will be lost.

Sold! Thank you everyone.
