My A-Minima magazine project is moving forward now. Working on a newly made magazine which allows using standard aluminium 100ft daylight spools with the camera. Should have some kind of prototype in September and the final mags shipping before Christmas. I may post some 3d printed examples in August already when tuning the design. Price depends on how many ordered and when they are paid for. Preordered ones are considerably cheaper and preorders will help improving the finishing quality so highly recommended to contact me early on if interested in ordering these magazines. Approx target price for preordered ones is 2.5k or something like that. I will probably make one batch of preordered ones and maybe later on next year one extra batch which is more expensive, about 30% more expensive probably. Will try to keep the price under 3k in any case. They will be cnc machined in any case, made mostly out of aluminium and aiming for very good price-quality ratio. I should have possibility to make 400ft core load mags too if preordered very early on but they would be much more expensive than the 100ft. I would estimate from 4k to 5k price for the 400ft as it needs advanced electronics and more cnc parts and film testing. Dm here or on instagram (aaplet14). Facebook messages don't work

S16 conversion by Visual Products. VP conversions are about the best, with really nice, simple ground glass markings. The ACL II base, I don't know if it was a bespoke factory original or someone's aftermarket piece. The machining, apart from the front shape, looks the same as factory standard, including the labeling. The rod mount is almost integral at the front.... looks really useful..no plate needed. Needs a CLA and a couple of hopefully small repairs... I've never used it, but ran scratch tests to assess it (scratch free). Sounded like the shutter was just lightly ticking against the body. Also, one of the motor mount threads on the body is striped, so probably needs a thread insert. I emailed Paul at Visual Products and it sounded like the shutter ticking noise might get fixed within a CLA. It may be something easy like the mirror connecting rod. If it's difficult then maybe a couple extra hours. There could be a couple of options on how to sell this....I could sell as is. When the connector is replaced we could assess the noise. Or, I could send it to Paul at VP for CLA, repair then set a price A thought re the stripped motor mount screw.... That one screw has only a very thin section of body casting to anchor to. The other 3 screws are threaded into much stiffer sections, so I wonder if 3 screws are probably enough. I can ask Paul later. Added notes... If there is a new 9 pin Canon connector in one of the photos please ignore it. It's not included. The 9 pin Canon connector at the side grip location..has a big chip out of the plastic surround. The metal pins are all good and the connector works just fine. 2) ACL multispeed motor pics at dropbox https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fo/ef8hntmi8lswndudmlwjo/AKYnbwbJWNZXU0aLn9Ezps4?rlkey=2uofa0lgo7xo7fy7ni2bbhdjw&st=9yvsy87o&dl=0 Heavy duty, late model Thomson crystal sync motor (MIMUL) with crystal speeds of 8fps, 12fps, 24fps, 25fps, 50fps, 75fps.

I'm looking to buy a Kern Aspheron 5.5mm ultra-wide attachment, ideally in good optical and mechanical condition. I’d prefer one with the original case or caps, but I’m open to standalone units as well. If anyone has one for sale or knows where I might find one please drop me a message or reply here. Thanks in advance!

you have articulated my thoughts better than I could my friend Jon hahah

That's true, an algorithm can't acquire consciousness, or sentience. But it's a tool or even a mouthpiece perhaps. Makes me think of warnings in old stories .. from long ago. Make real art.

They're probably best to reboot the whole series (like doing a remake, but sooner than usual). Just go ahead as if the Craig series of films never happened. Don't try to stick to some kind of canon that attempst to link in with the previous films. That would be difficult and awkward. You'd need a convincing look-alike too. Extremely difficult to do. No, start completely afresh. They could even start with Dr No. Start with a young Bond at around the time he earns his 00 prefix. I hope they shoot it on film too and keep the quality at its usual very high level. I'm inclined to think that if they go fully digital on it it will end up looking like a Netflix series that's also shown in cinemas. Yes, it's possible to keep a very high cinematic quality shooting on video but the tendency in the real world is that the level of the 'look' is in danger of declining over time when moving to digital on a series that started on film. It gets that modern pristine or plastic look that so many seem to be so happy with. But there you go. It is what it is. Yep, hoping they shoot on Kodak film.

Yeah that’s how it’s supposed to work, I’m not brave enough to actuate the switch by hand because the manual says not to! Sounds like this is common problem, I will mention it when I get it serviced next but in the meantime it doesn’t sound like a huge risk

OK, crow-eating time. On my latest camera, which I haven't actually shot any film in yet, it will run just fine with no film in it but if you tap the buckle switch, like I guess the end of a roll of film would, it does indeed shut it off, unlike my previous cameras. Resets by opening the sprockets (like you naturally do when loading a new roll of film) Learn something new every day... Duncan

Sorry, forgot to mention: In test 1, the camera has to run, otherwise the shutter will block all light.

Yea I do think it's the filter as well, it's also underexposed, which is why you have splotches of no data.

I have not been a mentee, but I did read the application rules the other day. There are no requirements re: what you might have shot, just that you've been working professionally in production or on set for five years. You never know who might assess your application and be interested in mentoring you. There are many cinematographers in the ASC who have not shot features and who exclusively shoot commercials (like Bill Bennett, Paul Meyers), VFX, second unit, sitcoms, etc. They don't discriminate on discipline when it comes to membership, so I don't think they would for applicants. Apply and see what happens!

There’s a mechanical connection between switch and filter. So there might be something stuck or broken. And I don’t know whether this Canon is one of those cameras that was designed to match the E160G (that was notched like the E100D). There are two ways to check this (with batteries inside and the camera switched on): 1) Go into a dark room, put a lit torch inside the film chamber. Then project the image onto something white (wall/sheet of paper/screen). When switching the filter switch to „sun“, the image should become orange compared to „bulb“. 2) Outside the dark room: Watch the light meter‘s needle when using the filter switch (with the camera in a tripod or a table). The Wratten85 eats up a lot of light. So at „sun“, the iris should be opened 2/3 f-stops wider than at „bulb“. Note: Your camera might have a sensor whether a cartridge is inserted or not. You might have to press it down during the tests.

Is the negative outside of the capture area (ie. between the sprockets) fogged?

The footage also looks undercranked- is that intentional, or is your camera running slow? If I didn't know better I'd suggest it was shot at 18 and scanned at 24.
