there is a lab that still do the eco processing. i think it's ford's or something like that. there is a thread about it somewhere. i tried myself to do so. the results were kind of cool, projected it look like a worm farm with a very faint background (because of the reticulation).

Aust. is metric. 400 metres. Anyway, thanks all for the suggestions! Still searching!

Dear all, I have around 400m of neg (16mm) that needs to be transferred and I recently moved to stockholm. I check the prices to telecine it here and they border the absurd (when compared for example with australia). Anyway, I was wondering if somebody could suggest me a telecine house that does the job without forcing me to prostitute myself. Many thanks! PS: I presume I would have to go for the UK or Germany as they are bigger centres.

Hi all, i bought this lens in ebay as a kinor 16mm but it's not 16sx... does anyone know what is it? many thanks!

Hi all, i use to have a camera cinclox with a 1 inch lens, what would be the equivalent metric angle? cheers

there is a lab in brazil called AGF that glues a magnetic strip on s8 film on post, but you'd still have to shoot and have a separate recording equip.

Hi All, I recentely developed an e6 reversao film with BW developer -> stop -> re-expose -> c41 developer -> bleach with great success. i was wondering if it would be possible to get negatives and develop (as negs) w/ e6 developer and bleach. I understand thaT e6 was based on cd3 and it lives a fair amount of silver behind, so, wouldn't it give a type of cross-processing effect? cheers

I am still starting with the whole thing, but i might also use another freq/time transform with the pilot signal (maybe wavelets?), at the moment, i have to versions for the program, one in linux that does not support my 24bit sound card (in C) and the other one in labview in windows that support my sound card. i am trying to get the whole thing self powered (valved preamps, mixer, soound card) in an aluminium case and have it on the go (4 tracks etc). The compression/stretching i am doing in matlab, so i could try wavelet ridges as it would give a sort of curve (like compresion ratio vs time). The thing with the pilot tone and noise, if you use a wavelet transform to denoise the signal, you end up decomposing the signal as a series of harmonics, i would then fit the pilot waveform to the decomposed sound, find where it matches and eliminate the matching part independent on phase. But as I said, the blimp is working well enough to not require postprocessing of the sound. Once I have it properly tested, i'll make my progs publicly available.

hey Nick, the pilot tone is recorded together to the sound (same sample rate... i know it's exageration but it's easy to deal with the same number of samples and i don't think you can run out of disk space until after you shoot 300 mags...), so i do a windowed fft (of 200ms length or so) of pilot tone data. I was also thinking about using the pilot tone to denoise the sound but after discovering a sound proof foam (strasonic), I could take my kinor to the opera. Also Don, that;s a nice piece of info... i like the shouting fps...

Dear all, I am finalising a little system I built which records the sound and the pilot tone of my kinor 16. the pilot tone gives the motor frequency (fps x 2). So, once I have the pilot frequency and the sound, I can resample the sound to match exactly the telecine frequency, for example, my camera was running at 24fps +-2% the telecine was done at pal or whatever (23.??? fps), so I just resample the sound file as a factor of pilot fps/telecine fps. My question is, before the computers, what would happen with pilot tones? I mean, I know nagras recorded them also, so, how did people do in the past to match the film speed with the sound speed? Cheers richardson

it's either 1. the processing of the film; 2. the telecine; or more unlikely a spoiled film. The camera factors look fine (stable, no scratches etc).

Check the gate after you run a roll, if you see emulsion building up, you can see where the prob is. Maybe try to run a dummy/fogged roll (with emulsion of course) and see what happens. Once you find the place you can try to GENTLY file it ans fill with a tinny bit of epoxy. But off course you can also ruin the camera.

I am sure though that the rabbit does not see any benefit on it... The strasonic foam was used on a blimp for a konvas (or maybe a kinor) on a forum. It's a foam specially made for acoustical isolation. I got a sheet and it seems a very good isolator.

if you're having a reg prob, all of those (bolex, pentaflex and the other) won't have a reg pin... http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Proffessional-16mm-m...1QQcmdZViewItem the only drag there is that there's no 120m mag. I ate s...it because the one i bought did not have one but i got one recentely than, my life changed, so much freedom, it was like a new tampax. Don't go for cams without a reg pin. and i'm not trying to say anything but after i discoverd sinthetic grease... god... it got so much smoother! 34db measured!!!

Hi Bruce, I remember asking Rafael about a m42 mount and apparently it's not possible (i have a konvas 1 what i believe is also oct-18). Are you sure that there are such adaptors? Many thanks.

Off course I understand that the lab has to AGREE on processing the film... I didn't think about sending a blackbox with unknown stock for processing without letting the lab knowing it... Btw Dominic, the quatation I asked you was for kodak 7217, not for any unknown russian stock.

have you guys heard of strasonic foam? very good for sound isolation.

I thought so too, it's actually not ME-4 (as it does not require prehardening), it uses a soviet technology that is similar to e6 but at lower temperature, I think i'll shoot 15m or so and ask a lab to try. Does anyone know if you ask a lab to cross process reversal stock, do they skip the rem-jet removal? Many thanks!

that looks very cool. as soon as our situation (financial) stabilises I wanna have my motor converted and maybe a s16 modfication as well. well done olexandr!

Hi all, i was so excited this morning after I found a canon 1014 in a garage sale but to my despair, when I took that beauty home I found that the lens was infested by funcus. so, i need a suggestion, should I persue the cleaning? should i sell as is in ebay? should i try to open the lens? it's behind the front element, so dunno how tricky it is to get there... I am not a huge user of s8 and i have a nizo 560, how much better this canon is when compared to the nizo? many thanks for the suggestions! richardson

Hi there, I have a bit of ukranian color reversal film that I successfully processed using c41 35C (it melts @38), as I would like to have them processed in 120m loads, I wonder if I could just send it to the lab to be processed as ECN2. But I am afraid that it would not survive the machine. Any thoughts, suggestions etc? For example, what would be the working temperature of the ecn chem? Many thanks. Richardson

Dunno if i was using wrong terms but there's not much info on continuous processing machines (not moore ir lomo tanks). Are there junior versions (only for 120m for example) or old BW only machines for 120m, any info? many thanks!

Got a turret konvas 1 for 350$ with 1 mag and 1 50mm OCT-18 lens. Have a look with www.rafcamera.com

You could give the N74 Orwo a go?! http://www.filmotec.de/English_Site/Produc...4_e/n_74_e.html that is iso 400 And quite pretty cheers richardson
