Nicholas Kovats Posted November 3, 2011 Share Posted November 3, 2011 This is incredible in my humble opinion. Officially released just a few hours ago. 1. Cheap as in $79 US cheap. 2. Undeniable mass appeal. 3. Handcranked! 4. 36 exposure 35mm film cassettes. 5. Shoots identical UltraPan8 aspect ratio = 2.8:1, i.e. 14mm x 8.5mm frame area is created by utilizing a 35mm 2 perf pulldown resulting in 144 "UP8" frames" per 36 exposure 35mm film cassette! Official Lomokino site -> http://microsites.lomography.com/lomokino/, i.e Film type : 35mm Exposure area : 24mm x 8.5mm Frames per. roll (36 exp.) : 144 frames Frame rate : Approximately 3-5 frames per second Taking Lens : 25mm Angle of view : 54 degrees Aperture : f/5.6, f/8, f/11 (Continuous aperture) Shutter speed : 1/100 Film Advancing : Manual Film Counting : Volume display Focusing : (Normal) 1m~infinity, (Press button for) 0.6m close-up View finding : Inverse-Galileo foldable viewfinder Flash sync : x-sync (hot-shoe) Tripod mount : Standard 1/4" tripod screw Check out the sample footage -> http://vimeo.com/31503625. The implications are wonderful! Cheers! Nicholas UltraPan8 -> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could be a an opportunity for for folks with labs to offer scanning. As far a profesional use, perhaps to cover off "dream Sequences" but may get stale faster than a fisheye lens.

Patrick Cooper Posted November 4, 2011 Share Posted November 4, 2011 Super cool idea. Would be fun to play around with. However, I'm betting that the lens is fixed. If it was interchangeable, that would be truly awesome. And even better if someone builds a motor and adds it to it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Serge Gregory Posted November 4, 2011 Share Posted November 4, 2011 So what's the best way to digitize your 30 seconds of footage? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patrick Cooper Posted November 4, 2011 Share Posted November 4, 2011 So what's the best way to digitize your 30 seconds of footage? Ive been pondering this myself too. For cheap but good quality, I guess one could use a scanner designed for stills use. Of course the unusual frame size could prove to be a bit of a headache. One could 'oversan' - scan two frames or so with each pass and then manually crop each frame? That would likely result in registration issues though I guess stabilisation software might correct this.

Premium Member Will Montgomery Posted November 4, 2011 Premium Member Share Posted November 4, 2011 All you need to do is send in the roll and have your local photo processor process the roll like normal then scan the negatives like they would normally so you'd wind up with two frames per scan. I would then create a Photoshop script to cut out each of the two frames and save as individually numbered jpegs. Then use After Effects (or possibly a recent version of Photoshop) to create a video from the JPEG sequence. Of course you'd then have to go in and manually line-up each of the 144 frames, but it wouldn't take that long. Also you'd get what... a 4k scan? Not sure what resolution 35mm still photos are scanned at these days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Site Sponsor Robert Houllahan Posted November 4, 2011 Site Sponsor Share Posted November 4, 2011 While I think it is too bad it is not exactly a 2-perf camera it is really cool none the less! I'm going to order one... I feel a subculture of modifications coming on....A PL mount and 100' mag? :unsure: -Rob- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Patrick Cooper Posted November 7, 2011 Share Posted November 7, 2011 Hmmm...I think next, Lomography should produce a three strip 'technicolor' camera B) - I'd buy one! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm with you... what would that be? Three black & white filmgoing at the same time with different filters hitting each one... I guess the splitter would be the problem. But processing would be easy in today's world, just process b&w, sync up and color in post. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Member John Sprung Posted November 7, 2011 Premium Member Share Posted November 7, 2011 I see they have a "viewer" but I wonder if they expect folks to watch the negatives?

I went to their store in New York, and one of the employees said that you can send the footage in and they will convert it to video for you.
