  1. What are the other pre and post flash options? And Nathan, any chance I can still swing by and go over the camera w/ you?
  2. Hi All, Anyone out there w/ experience flashing the negative with an a-minima? Is there a particular technique you recommend? I was going to use the grey card technique but was concerned w/ how one anchors the film in the take up reel. I reckon using the film label sticker wouldn't be such a good idea if planning to reuse that reel. Thanks, Cullen
  3. Hi Alex, I have a similar questions--what kind of insurance do you have right now--what company, what kind of coverage, etc.? - Cullen
  4. Excellent--thank you very much Mike! Kind Regards, Cullen
  5. That's what I'm concerned about--the benefits of a wide frame vs. distortion. But judging from what I've read, the Optar 8mm has very little distortion. Yet--it may be 'too wide' all the same. Will a 9.5mm lens get me a nice frame in a small car...or worse, in a crammed backseat of a small car? Ideally, I'd like to test the two lenses out and see for myself but I don't think that option's available. Does anybody have experience w/ these two lenses, specifically Optars, in these types of situations? Cheers, Cullen
  6. I'm building a camera package I'm going to use to make a film. Many scenes take place within tight quarters--cars in particular. I'm debating on getting an Optar Illumina 8mm or 9.5mm. My question is--is the 8mm too wide? Is there significant distortion? Will it be worth the extra cost to get that extra width(the 8mm costs a bit more) and will it come in handy in tight situations? Or is it overkill? Or is there even a significant difference b/t the two lenses? Does anyone have any experience w/ Optar Illuminas--advice welcome. Many Thanks, Cullen
  7. Many thanks. In essence, I'll be the client. Is there anyone out there who could recommend any additional insurance companies that they use to insure their camera packages? Many Thanks, Cullen
  8. I'm getting ready to buy a camera. How does insurance for cameras work? Can anyone recommend an insurance company? Is a camera covered through homeowners insurance? Could it be covered under a production insurance policy? Does a standard policy offer international coverage--I will be traveling a great deal w/ my camera? What's a typical policy run per year for a 30K camera package? What does it cover? Any help or advice is greatly appreciated. Many Thanks, Cullen
  9. Does this lens require an adaptor to work w/ an Aaton A-Minima? Thanks, Cullen
  10. I'm a little late to this forum and it may be a dead thread--but it seems like a-minima film w/ it's daylight friendly cores is a great advantage when it comes to visual/hand inspections. As long as the screeners don't 'pry'.
