If you watch "My Best Fiend" by Herzog, you get a lot of behind the scenes information as to why the locals offered to kill Klaus Kinski. In short, only Herzog was opposed to his leading man being offed by local mercenaries. Even then he had to think about it for a bit.

You say ACL. Do they all cover Super 16? All focal lengths?

I would buy some on 400 foot cores. As long as it is single perf.

Does anyone really think that the Vision 3 stocks are lacking in any way? I think that they cover the bases pretty well. Maybe Kodak thinks the same thing. I agree with the desire for a stock with more contrast than the current line up. Not a faster stock, but a different "looking" 500T. They have done it before.

Issues with rem jet or the backing coming off the emulsion usually happen toward the end of the roll. I have had it happen to about the last 30 seconds of film often.

I have used a Nikon Super Coolscan 4000 ED to scan Portra 400 and 800 with great results. Quite a flat look coming out of the scanner. The scanner has custom settings that I adjusted to scan Lomokino 2 perf footage. The results were typical for that camera, but it was agonizingly slow.

I can second Duall Camera. I had a Nizo 6080 CLA by them with no complaints. Also what about Pro 8mm?

I went and enjoyed it.

These videos give a new appreciation of the product and what Orwo is going through to get a new stock to market.

I only suggested the camera listed above as a possible rebuild platform. But seeing the camera that is for sale on the Swiss site Ricardo, I would go for that. I shoot in a similar style and can see why you have the requirements you do. My only drawback (for an Eyemo) is the small loads. How do you deal with it? Am I wrong or is that a 100 foot load?

Have you considered using 1.8x, 1.6x, 1.5x, 1.33x squeeze lenses? Little to no cropping with those depending upon the format you shoot in
I recommend shooting at the highest resolution the camera can offer and yes, down sampling to the required deliverable resolution.

It has been discussed here not too long ago and if I recall, the camera in question is an early gen IMAX camera.
To my understanding, many motion picture cameras can be modified to be hand cranked. For instance I have used an Arri IIc that was hand cranked. My Arri 35 3 can be modded to be hand cranked. Lots of fun using a camera that way and rather efficient for some kind of shots since you rarely reach 24fps hand cranking. It is usually a slower frame rate yielding a fast paced home movie look.
-
IF you want to project the original film, shoot reversal. Both Ektachrome and Tri-X are available. Otherwise shoot 7213 for great results.

I just watched Snake Girl And The Silver Haired Witch 1968 (dir Noriaki Yuasa) streaming on Shudder on a UHD pane. A really interesting story about two sisters. The black and white photography is wonderful with high yet realistic contrast. Rather sharp over all. I was wondering what stock and lenses were used. Does anyone here know.
The website SHOTONWHAT is useless, maybe I am doing something wrong, but it yields little to no results.
-
Post a photo of the look you want. That will help people here give you advice. Keep in mind that 500T in it's latest formula '19, has enormous amount of latitude in both the highlights and especially the shadows. I wouldn't stress about it too much though. All Kodak color negative stocks are very easily manipulated in post. It is probably going to be a combination of both lighting and color grading. Do not over expose highlights and do not fill your shadows, you should be close enough to a high con scene, then just tweak it in post.

not sure if the LTR will be quiet. XTR a bit more so.
Maybe your camera was loud, but you can not say that all LTRs are lound. I no longer own one, but it was very quiet. But I admit my XTR is a bit quieter.

Have either of you watched Enys Men? I am really looking forward to it. Have to wait another month until it is released locally.

It looks like they used a Beaulieu camera from Pro8mm, aren't they the most expensive option by far? registration looks pretty poor even by Super 8 standards.
It is the registration that would vastly improve the image quality and there isn't any in a super 8 cartridge. It does look like they had Pro8mm cameras, but why didn't they use the Logmar "Chatam" cameras? Doesn't Pro8mm have at least one of those? That camera has registration and would showcase better than most any other camera, how good Super 8 can look.
But come to think of it, doesn't a camera with a Ultra Pan 8 mod, have registration pins? If so, that would be the king of the 8mm formats.

The only answer I can give from experience is that it "MIGHT" fit. Depends on the lens. i tried it on a C mount zoom, hoping it would fit, but it did not. It protrudes too far into the camera and can collide with the mirror. On some lenses it might work because the rear of the lens is short enough. Read the specs that they list.
-
On a Mac it does matter except for the new apple silicon. have tried it on a 2012 Macbook Pro i5 2.5 with 16gigs o ram and it crashes. Even for windows there is minimum requirements. OP needs it for basic editing so, there is some wiggle room there, but as I said before, on a modest mac FCP X is plenty fast.
-
I should add that the steep hardware requirement is for Resolve. However, if you have a newer Apple Silicon chip inside of your computer, then the requirements are much less. I don't have one yet, will soon, but even an entry level M1 mac can run at least the free version well enough for editing. I also work mostly with S16 film originated material and went from FCP7 to Resolve but always had a 12 core mac pro with 2 graphics cards.

That's true. Resolve is not running on my Mac os High Sierra 10.13.6. So I need to update the system.
Thanks Marc!
The hardware is most important part. It is easy to upgrade the OS. What are your computer's specs, especially the graphics card? I left Final Cut Pro when they switched to FCP X, i love resolve it does it all, even the free version. But FCP X runs very well on a lesser powered Mac. Something to consider.

Correct me if I am wrong, but he way I understand Fuji film stock is that the 6 in 8651 refers to 16mm. It should be 16mm film unless the OP had a typo.
