Paul Bartok Posted February 25, 2013 Share Posted February 25, 2013 Finally finished writing my article after several months of research and tests. I'm putting it out there, so if anybody in the future is interested they can learn everything they need from this article to get them going. Article Includes: - The film advantages and disadvantages. - Development times. - Procedures. - Workarounds. And much more information.

Paul Bartok Posted February 26, 2013 Author Share Posted February 26, 2013 In case anyone is interested these are some of the results from my Canon 650 SLR with a 50mm Prime. All Kodak Vision 3 500T 5219 processed in ECN-2 at home. The last image is a 2 stop push with Bleach Bypass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David Cunningham Posted February 26, 2013 Share Posted February 26, 2013 Awesome stuff! Who does your drum scans? I was about to send some stuff out, but definitely looking for some opinions/reviews. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Bartok Posted February 26, 2013 Author Share Posted February 26, 2013 These guys did mine out of Melbourne: http://www.imagescience.com.au/pages/Contact-Details.html They scan on a Flextight 949 and can deliver RAW 3F files, something which I would defiantly recommend instead of baking in the colors The other thing is they scan for a flat profile, to avoid clipping. My Vision 3 stuff looked very flat almost LOG like before I edited them. I would recommend looking for these traits at a scanning facility and find out what scanner there using. Im sure in the UK or US you will find some great places. Next time I get any scanned I want to sit in on the session to make corrections at the scan. Looking into how to maximize my scan on the Flextights in the future. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Site Sponsor Robert Houllahan Posted February 27, 2013 Site Sponsor Share Posted February 27, 2013 We get requests for processing 35mm ECN as stills all the time, Cinelab is allmost finished with installing the new Photomec 35mm processor and we will be supporting stills developing again very soon on the new processor we got from DuArt. The Photomec is a Bentley of film processing machines. -Rob- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paul Bartok Posted February 27, 2013 Author Share Posted February 27, 2013 Yeah that would be awesome get everything done at once. I guess the biggest question is can the scanner do vistavision size film scans and say there's a minimum of 3 rolls or so then your looking at about 2 seconds worth of film and would need to be spliced. But could probably process more jobs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Site Sponsor Robert Houllahan Posted February 27, 2013 Site Sponsor Share Posted February 27, 2013 We can do prints in out B&H Printer, also our scanner will be Vista-Vision capable sometime in the future and with a sensor upgrade it will be able to make 6.6K scans of Vista-Vision frames which are the same as stills. -Rob- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Cunningham Posted February 27, 2013 Share Posted February 27, 2013 Cinelab will become my one-stop house. :) Still and Motion picture processing and scanning. Woo! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Bartok Posted February 27, 2013 Author Share Posted February 27, 2013 I'm thinking that as well I wonder how long it will be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Site Sponsor Robert Houllahan Posted February 27, 2013 Site Sponsor Share Posted February 27, 2013 As fast as we can possibly make it happen, we are still building out from our move and the Photomec is currently being threaded so hopefully it will start running in the next two to three weeks. The people from DCS in LA are getting closer to having the new transport head which will allow for Vista, 3-perf and 2-perf scans done, it will allow for pin registration or pinless. The 6.6K imager is available I think we just need to figure out the finance for that part as it is quite expensive. -Rob- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
