Im looking to buy the newer version Red Pro Zoom 17-50mm ASAP. Im in Austin, TX and have the money in hand, ready to make a deal! Thanks!

Gone to Ebay. No longer for sale.

Will take serious offers too

I have a used Arkay G-3 developing tank for 8mm and 16mm films. It will hold 100 feet of film. I have used it several times over the last few years and it definitely works fine. No light leaks, but I did tape the seams when I used it just in case. Very clean inside and out. There is some rust on the chain for the rubber stopper but that doesn't affect the performance in any way. It would be easy to replace if you wanted to. I'm asking $100 shipped Paypal only unless you're in Austin and have cash. USA only please. I'll use USPS priority to send it out. Thanks! Joseph Photos:

Thank you both! I appreciate it

Hello, I just wanted to share a music video I recently shot and directed for the artist Cheeto Fool's new single "Too Many People". Please take a look! http://vimeo.com/4797966 Thanks, Joseph

SOLD! Thanks Taylor!

Here's a shot of the case (Disregard the tripod and tripod bag, they are not for sale!)

Hi Taylor, thanks for your interest. 1) It's hard to estimate the hours in the camera but I would say no more than 40 (I have a rack of 50 tapes with footage from this camera, but alot of those tapes are only half-full). For commercial projects I've always rented either high-def equip or a film camera. This was for my personal work. I've never used it to capture, I have a small Canon cam for that. I've had it for about 3 1/2 years, but in that time I've shot more 16mm for myself than DV. 2) I'm only selling this because I need something smaller and High-def for a personal project I will be traveling around the world for. I love this camera and I hate to see it go. It is a wonderful cam. It's just a touch too big for what I need now. As I said in the last post, I will sell the whole package (XL2, 16x lens, Chrosziel matte box/FF) PLUS a custom-cut Storm iM2950 case SHIPPED to you (Con US) for $4100. I will UL a photo of the storm case on Wed morning. Thanks for your interest!

Still available. I will entertain reasonable offers.

Price Drop: Canon XL2 - $1850 Chrosziel Matte Box package - $1450 16x Servo lens - $750 If you buy all of the above as a package, I will throw in a Storm IM2950 rolling case cut to fit this all perfectly AND ship it to you for $4100! EWA Marine bag - $300

please disregard this thread. I am parting this out and have started a new thread for claritys sake thanks

I have a great XL-2 setup that I am going to piece out in order to sell. This camera has worked flawlessly.

For sale: --- Canon XL2 with 20x lens, battery, strap, remote, sunshade, lens/body caps, users manual. $2000 *There was some rubbing on the viewfinder and on the aperture 'nub' from the Storm Case foam I kept the camera in. This caused the rubber coating to peel off of those parts. It is purely cosmetic.

I will sell all of the above as a package for $4100 Also for sale: --- EWA Marine soft housing for Canon XL1 (XL2 *could* fit if you remove the shoulder support, although I haven't tried it). $350 *I only used this thing twice.

Bogdan, It is better to start a new thread with your question than piggy-back on someone elses, especially when the questions are different. You will get more answers in your own thread.

I haven't use the cinema lights, but I have used their strobes for still photography. They were really cheap and plastic and didn't always fire when the shot was taken. Take it for what it's worth, but if the movie lights are anything like the strobes, I would steer clear of them!

Yeah it's tough. It seems alot of places don't really care about their Super8 customers. Gotta please the big boys first, which is fine I guess. I've had issues with Cinelab in the past. They did make it right after I complained. I would talk to them. I wish Dwayne's Photo did BW Reversal and transfers.... they get Ektachrome S8 back to you in a day. Its insane. That's service! Unfortunately, we'll have to deal with places treating S8 as the ugly duckling of the family. But I guess it's good they do it at all. But I feel your pain.

I got one at Batteries Plus, a local battery store. I took my old battery in and they matched it up with a new one. No problems. I also got a small trickle charger which helps keep the battery charged and ready to go.

Are you a student? If so, directly from Kodak with their student discount is a really good deal. Otherwise, I've used Film Emporium as well with great results. Calling them is best. Their short end stock changes regularly (if you're wanting that) so calling will get you exact answers.

Google doesn't turn anything up, so I'll ask the pros here: How much does an Eiki EX-4000p 16mm projector in very good/excellent condition with a new-ish bulb generally go for? With low hours on the meter too. I've heard talk of around $3,000... Any thoughts? Thanks

There is a classifieds section for sales. Need more info on the camera. Photos are good. Your location and shipping options are a must. You'll probably have a hard time selling it here since you have only 1 post.

You are projecting the film, right? It's not a video transfer? It sounds like the film isn't being held in place through the gate. I'm not familiar with the bolex inner-workings but check the pressure plate or the mechanics around the gate. The film should be tight and straight as it moves through. if not, it will look blurry like you describe. That's all i can think of.

I developed a short roll of 7222 in Tmax and it certainly had a good amount of grain. But, I am using a Morse rewind tank and it really agitates the hell out of the film. So, a lomo spiral tank will probably give better results. I agree, Pyro is a great developer. Check the Photographer's Formulary webiste / catalog. You may try Accufine as well. Great developer. I use it for 4x5 work.

BUMP for a sweeeeet package!
