    Double Super 8

    in Super-8

    Posted

    Hi Guys!

    I used a Quarz 2x8-S camera for DS8 films (Fuji 50D) supplied from WITTNER in Germany. The results are excellent! But the stock is expensive...

    Next, I will shoot some rolls of the same stock with meopta A8 G2 DS8 camera... If you want, I can supply you information about these ugly but effective cameras...

    I will buy some Kodak 100D stock. In any case, this stock is more reasonable priced and you can use ND filters anytime...

    Cheers!

    meopta A8 G2 SUPRA manual

    Hi Folks,

    I am currently looking for a meopta A8 G2 SUPRA manual in English.

    Scans will be highly appreciated.

    Thank you for your invaluable time!

    All the Best

    The manuals are found finally. After my request, meopta is added various manuals to their website. But in Czech :) and in English for a similar older model . Better than nothing!

    Best Portable 16mm Viewer/Editor

    in 16mm

    Posted · Edited by Erkan Umut

    Another very fine 16mm editor is the Minette 'Sixteen' editor, which is very, very rare these days. We have one at work and the image is more steady than in the Moviscop, due to a stainless steel pressure plate, much like the Minette S-5 Super 8mm counterpart. It is gray in color and cast in metal - no plastic parts, except for a nylon film guiding wheel or two. It has a frame height adjustment, which works very well. A very sturdy and well-engineered product, in my opinion.

     

    I have one complete set of gray-colored Minette SIXTEEN editor with the Minette DELUXE manual-operated Rewinder, which is an excellent product. I also have a black-colored Minette EIGHT editor/viewer. SIXTEEN is very rare though! Try the Japanese auction sites with translation...

    Today I've got a message from Mr. Kent Bulza <kent@single8film.com>:

    Erkan:

     

    Thanks for your email.

     

    By now you should have received a refund for your order. If you haven't let me know.

     

    Right now I'm in the middle of closing down operations as soon as all refunds have been issued. There is a very small supply of expired stock available. I'm planning on placing it on eBay shortly. I'm sorry I wasn't able to fulfill your order. Earlier in the year we ran into some financial problems because someone (not related to single8film.com) did not pay me. This caused us to get into a bad situation with our suppliers. Only in the last few weeks have I been able to make up for the damage. But we won't be selling Single-8 film beyond the supply we now have. We may continue selling batteries -- I haven't decided that yet.

    RICOH 800Z manual needed

    in Super-8

    Posted · Edited by Erkan Umut

    Hi Erkan

     

    I have the RICOH 800Z.

    (I do not have a manual...It might be possibly on my bookshelf. However, it is written in Japanese...)

    800Z has the power switch for the motor(AA x4) and the power switch for the exposure meter(H-2D 2.6V).

    It is necessary to switch both ON(or OFF).

    I write the manual in English.

    Please wait for several days.

    Hi Nakano,

    Thank you! Don't translate it, cause I bought the photocopies of its English manual on internet.

    Can you scan the manuals in Japanese of RICOH 800Z and FUJICA ZC1000 just for my collection? Please scan them in good resolution for printing.

    Thank you for all your efforts.

    Best,

    I sent them an email. They never responded. So after a week of waiting I sought out their phone #, which is not listed on the site. After some google searching I found it on a small business phone book and left a voicemail. I gave them my phone number on the message. That was Friday during normal work hours. There has been no response yet but I imagine that if they didn't hear the message Friday then they won't till Monday. I don't have much confidence in them hearing the voicemail though. There were two phone #'s the first one I left a message and the second had a full mailbox. I think this company is run by one person and he has gone MIA. If he is no longer offering services then he should not leave his PayPal checkout open. He has my money and I have no merchandise.

     

    Same for me, Ernie!

    Three times e-mail and one time fax, result: NO answer at all. I paid USD 127! I am very nervous!!!

    Keep informed each other.

    Thanks!
