  1. Does anyone know how the Eye Piece of a Nizo 6080 is removed? I want to ask before I try to screw it off (and maybe force it).. Thanks in advance. Shawn
  2. I currently do have it under PC control using a DMX Windows App (more features than necessary), ideally, I need to write a simple app that will control individual intensities and have presets that are optically calibrated (though variables in installation will change this). Manual/Analog control of the individual channels is acceptable when using CineCap with Windows. Of course, you can use White only (in most cases, this would be the primary way), RGB channels or all 4. Benefits of course, no hot spots, availability of LEDs (vs bulbs), heat, etc for frame by frame Telecine. Shawn Most DIY Projector mods do not allow the use of the original bulb setup without modification again (most that I know of).
  3. Opal glass between the light source(s) and gate is ideal.
  4. Hello, I have developed (prototyped) an Optical Source that allows Optical Color Correction for Eumig line of S8 Projectors (would work with others as well) - useful for DIY Telecine. It uses Luxeon 3W emitters and can use just the White color source, RGB or both (or all 4 channels) at one time, with independent brightness control (0-100%) of each of the 4 channels. The Luxeon emitters are in custom aluminum heat sinks. I originally planned to used just one channel (White Luxeon) but added RGB support. The mod could be either one channel (white), 3 channel (RGB) or 4 (white and RGB). Opal glass between the light source(s) and gate is ideal. This config does not act like a electronic shutter (flashing LEDs like the Flashscan8), but is very suitable for frame by frame (3 - 6fps) Telecine (Eumig's are great for this). The Mod will require very little modification to the projector itself, you can revert back to the standard bulbs. I will post more info and pictures in the future if anyone is interested. I still have some fine tuning to do. Future additions planned will be a PC connection via USB for PC control of the individual channels. Shawn

  6. Already sold the first day.. :(
  7. Fred, I see you are using a Eumig Mark S 810, I modified a Eumig Mark 610D. As far as the camera, did you choose the Model #DFK 31AF03 or Model #DFK 31BF03 ("A" or "B")? In the picture on your website (http://www.super-8.be/s8_telecine_imaging.htm), is that the Sony 45mm Macro lens attached to the camera? Lastly, where did you buy your Sony 45mm Macro lens from? :) Shawn
  8. Apparently, those Sony 45mm Macro lenses are hard to come by.. still looking though.. :( Fred, What exactly are you doing with the Sony? DIY Telecine? If so, what other equipment are you using.. Shawn
  9. Interesting caps, good quality.. I will have to check out the Flashscan8.. With the Hitachi, what type of lens is the Sniper unit using?
  10. Thanks for the info... I think I like they way this version works better than having a needle.. Shawn
  11. Hi, Is yours a 5008 S Multispeed? (I believe the Multispeed, not MS model is the latest of the 5008 series??)...The other 5008 S Multispeeds I have seen had needles, perhaps they were older versions... In Auto exposure mode, what does the RED LED indicate (f1.4? over/under exposure?)
  12. For both indoor and outdoor, would it be a UV filter or something else to help protect the lens? Thanks Shawn
  13. Hello, I just received my Beaulieu 5008 S Multispeed Camera.. I did not receive a manual but I have a pdf version. In the Beaulieu Case side pouch, there is a piece of paper with the following on it: ___________________________________________________________ Do NOT disconnect lens if main swith is ON!! This Beaulieu 5008 S Camera is equipped with 800mA NiMh ,,green'' accu whis has NO memory effect! If this camera is one of the latest models with viewfinder LED: RED LED: ,,TEST" - red light = low currant aperture ,,MANUAL" - red light = wrong manual aperture setting aperture (Manual or Automatic) - strong red lght = f1.4 Sound control - right VU level = slight flickering red light GREEN LED: Sound control - flickering with sound from microphone or connected tape ____________________________________________________________________ And, yes, spelling is as above... :) My pdf manual states a viewfinder needle with a notch on the right side (while looking into the viewfinder). There is not a needle (or needle movement?) and more importantly, no notch at all. There is the LED on the top of the viewfinder. Does anyone know about a 5008 S Multispeed model that uses a LED for the exposure control system instead of a meter (in the viewfinder)? If a model exists that doesn't use a needle, I assume from the note included that I don't want a RED light for proper exposure (in manual mode), but what about automatic exposure? Thanks in advance.. Shawn

    What brand/model light meter are you using?

    Is you needle even moving or pegging fully to the right?
  16. I'm interested in seeing feedback on this model from people who have used one... Thanks in advance Shawn
  17. Well, I just purchased a Beaulieu 5008 S Multispeed to add to my collection, so I will be doing some testing with that as well as the others...
  18. Thanks for the feedback and many thanks for this forum.. :)
  19. Hello, I would like to hear results from anyone that has used the built-in 85 Filter in their camera (not a 85b attached to the lens) and Kodak's Ektachrome 64T Super-8 Film (Quality, cast, color etc..)... I have a Nikon R10 and Nizo 6080.. just wondering if I should purchase an 85B filter.. My processor here in Seattle recommends a 85B while shooting outside with 64T... Thanks in advance.. Shawn
  20. My other question would be, with an external 85b filter on the lens, would I keep the switch in the indoor position or would the metering still be off (set to Auto Exposure)? Shawn
  21. There are three positions on the round knob (R, ., L).. I originally thought the same, but confused by the middle position... Shawn
  22. I have no manual for the Canon Auto Zoom 518 so I wanted to ask a few questions to anyone familiar with this model... :) There is a round knob on the same side that the film cartridge is loaded (marked: R . L)... The meter does not work on L, just curious what this knob is doing in the three positions.. ???? There is a switch on the hand grip (back) with a Sun (lower position) and Red Light Bulb (upper position).. I assume this is for the built in 85 filter (or is the filter engaged automatically with the proper film)???? I have Ektachrome 64T and have been told to use an external 85B filter and make sure the built-in filter is NOT in the light path when filming outdoors in Sun... Am I correct on this switch's function? Also, this is the case, what position would I need to have for filming outdoors with 64T (not sure if the switch changes the anything with exposure in the camera)....? Thanks in advance Shawn
