  1. Dear Richard, I am terrebly sorry for missing your question. I hope you are still around and I will test now that RAR stock.
  2. Thanks for the help. The serial no. (i suppose that is the no. in the base of the camera) is 209366. Bolex H16 Reflex. many thanks!
  3. Hi all, that may be a stupid question but i recently bought a bolex h16 reflex and i need to fix the dioptry knob but i have no idea how to remove it from the camera. many thanks
  4. svema, bw, 50 asa. I love it! I have used almost 20 of those in the past. the widescreen shop in UK uses to sell them. Develop as tri-x, it should work. when it is totally exposed, there will be some hieroglyphs (cyrilic :-) ) written on the film, like the 'exposed' of kodak.
  5. these are two of these rockets. That isn't so bad though: the 2nd one wasn't so bad. My initial idea was in fact a rocket because I was planning to do a scifi short. A bit off topic but have you guys seen this ffotage (challenger explosion in super 8)
  6. I tried to fly an rc plane with a fuji single 8 p2 (250g) but my piloting skils were not the greatest and I smashed the plane before I could start filming. I thought a DJI phanton could do the job. they can lift over 700g but I am a bit traumatised after various accidents.
  7. Hi Guys, I've been away from this forum from a long time and it is very good to be back. Anyway, I wonder if anybody has tryed to fly a super8 camera using an rc plane or helicopter? I saw a video on vimeo ( ) but it was not as I was hoping and I imagine it suffers from vibration issues. Cheers richardson
  8. Hi All, I have a KEM 16/35 editing table and after moving to a new place a plug on the back (that was to emulate a foot pedal) went missing and the table refuses to run. if anyone have a similar table, I would really appreciate if you could open the connector and send a pucture of its guts. I think one has to short circuit 2 or 3 terminals but i can't remember which. Thanks immensely for the help! Happy 2011! Richardson PS: I tried to email KEM (the factory) but never got a reply
  9. Hi All, after spending some time in australia and then in sweden i was loosing my hopes with the way filmlabs in those countries treat non professional customers with a small volume of business. it was even worth in my home country (brazil). it's tough when you don't speak the lingo... and i understand 'money talks' but then i found the light in the end of the tunnel when i've sent some stuff to the Colorlab and then also to Andec. The attention I received was remarkable, given the bellow 1000$ budget i had... Anyway, i open this thread just to know other people POSITIVE experiences with labs and post houses. cheers richardson
  10. to develop as a neg there should be no special chemicals. it's only bw developer and fixer
  11. Hi, I have some rolls of Kodak RAR film 2496 and 2498 16mm that i'd like to try, so I was wondering which ISO should it be exposed at? Also, are they both orthochromatic? Thanks heaps for the help! richardson
  12. there was also a lab in Portugal atom43 that used to do it. Dunno if they r still around. U need reversal, right? because I think nordisc film process bw neg. when io bought orwo from dancan in denmark they suggested nordic film co. for processing. Maybe if you want to do it yourself, i can lend you my tanks after january when i come back from holidays.
  13. I'd love to see some frames! I am currently shooting with svema 16mm reversal and it would be nice to see. Cheers!
  14. I agree with Richard, e6 is quite simple, I'd say even simpler than BW, specially with the 3-bath tetenal kit (that can be found EVEN in sweden). The trickiest is the temperature control, but a warm water bucket might suffice. If you can't find spiral tanks, you can always build your own (but i'd not do it in the field). THere are a few 15m x 2 tanks in ebay right now.
  15. with an editor and a tape splicer is quite easy. Using the editor u can mark exactly the frame u wanna cut and tape splicing is dead easy.
  16. Was the film all the same (i mean, no edges around frames)? i'd say that your development time was too short or your developer is too old.
  17. maco/rollei 850nm can be found @ vanbar (.com.au) in 30m loads for 55usd iso 400.
  18. another option, would be resensitise the film with IR dye. I had some notes from someone (very scientific... but i do have a them piled up somewhere) saying that he/she was able to resensitise tri-x with IR dye. Last year I tried to buy the dye last year without success (i remember that the dye name started with neo and the recipe suggested dunking the film in a dye+methanol solution). OK... this is too elusive and i should not continue, but I will post the results of the maco filme as soon as i have them and some stills of my tests as soon as i can figure out how to make my scanner to work in linux.
  19. Hi, dunno which camera you have but my konvas can take 35mm still film perfs. I bought a 30m roll of maco infrared film and i am planning to use it soon. I took some still photos with it to test using a red filter (r25). Didn't get good results with an infrared filter but the deep red was fantastic! I will probably also buy a r29 or a r70 film to use during the shooting. this is the film: http://www.mahn.net/TAIRe.htm I will scan the stills tonite to show u i will use 30m rolls because it was easily available, but maco is a small cozy photo company and i believe, depending on the amount u need, they could sell it in longer rolls. Another option (also if u use a camera with no reg pin or a russian cam not converted to kodak perf) would be getting ilford sfx 200 in 30m bulk rolls. This film is actually closer to the soy cuba stock (a pan film with extended sensitivity to 820nm) but i'm not sure if they sell the sfx in bulk loads.
  20. wittner also has color stocks for d8
  21. I posted a topic a few weeks ago about a super8 festival that is happening in Curitiba, Brazil late November, so, now, I just would like to announce that the fest is accepting submissions. Please visit: http://www.curta8.com.br The site is in 4 languages (Portuguese, Spanish, English and French) More info will soon be added, but it would be really cool if we could get your film. It's a pioneering festival in Brazil and there is a feeling that if this one works out, a beefed up one might be happening in Rio next year. There's a lot of people over there that are ultra eager in start shooting but don't know how. So, if we support the fest it's is likely that we will be recruiting a new army of s8 filmmakers. What in turn, increase the number of people buying s8, keeping film alive. Btw, we also going to have a workshop in film processing, building processing tanks etc running at the same days of the fest
  22. and i wonder what is the value of a someone talk about a camera that would never exist... like Bush's mission to the moon... Mars and beyond... dunno, but if i'd organise a symposium in neuroscience for example (my field), i'd actually invite passionate people that actually produce data (or have ideas) that would revolutionise neuroscience, either to broadening it (by making it more ACCESSIBLE) or by inventing techniques that permit the researcher to explore further nuances of the brain. And as we are researchers that use public money, we are always careful with methods that promise and cost too much
  23. i bought from this guy before exactly that stock. I wish I still had my former webspace to show u some clips and I thought that they were good, but because I always use expired stock, the 'good' to me is a very slack concept.
  24. Hi Dan, loved the idea! dunno if maybe is a bit far fetched but some people (and I in certain extent) are organising a super8 fest in brazil and we will have a workshop in hand processing. Dunno, maybe it would be nice to have something also for amateur craft of DIY developing/tanks/telecine etc. I think we should broadcast home-processing for the sake of reversal film. Maybe invite Olexandr Kalynichenko for home processing and to unveil the mysteries from behind the rusted iron curtain? >If u need any hand (dunno which kind) i'd be glad to help (if your symposium is happening in UK, but I can't be of much help if it is in the US because all the crap involved with visas blabla) cheers PS: I visited the page of the festival and it's a pity i didn't know about it. I love the idea of 4:3 review and the struggle against the industry dictatorship. REVOLUTION IS NOT A ONE TIME EVENT (A. Lorde)
