Nick Peterson Posted November 22, 2011 Share Posted November 22, 2011 Hello, Does anyone know of any place that can re-etch 35BL ground glass? I have one marked for standard 1.85 and would like to have it re-etched for Super35 "Big-TV"/1.85. Thanks, Nick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom Jensen Posted November 23, 2011 Share Posted November 23, 2011 Call a few rental house and see if you can pay a camera tech to pencil it in. That would be the easiest, cheapest, fastest way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick Peterson Posted November 24, 2011 Author Share Posted November 24, 2011 Thanks Charlie! I will give them a call next week. Also thanks for the tip Tom; I'll keep it in mind if the quote for the work ends up being more than I can swing. Cheers, Nick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nick Peterson Posted April 12, 2012 Author Share Posted April 12, 2012 Just a quick update as I am having ShurCo re-etch a GG for me right now. The catalog linked above is fairly old and didn't have a format I needed (Super TV/Super 1.78 Combo). I talked with Paul and he sent me the latest catalog which had this, as well as other updated formats I thought others might find useful: http://www.sampofilms.com/files/Format_Catalog_01-26-09.pdf He quoted me $405 for the work (this is without the arri glow dye); it's another $275 if you need custom artwork created for the job. Turn around time is 1.5-2 weeks. Cheers, Nick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jean-Louis Seguin Posted April 12, 2012 Share Posted April 12, 2012 Do you know by any chance if they do work on 16mm ground glasses? Cheers, Jean-Louis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Jensen Posted April 13, 2012 Share Posted April 13, 2012 Now you see why I suggested penciling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers, Jean-Louis I'm not sure if they do but you could give them a call and ask. The last person I had do this was Bernie O'Doherty. Good luck, Nick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
