  1. 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!

  2. 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!

  3. I have a great XL-2 setup that I am going to piece out in order to sell. This camera has worked flawlessly. Never had any issues with dropouts or mechanical problems, dead pixels, etc. Heads regularly cleaned. ONLY Sony premium tapes have been used in this camera. Fantastic camera, great colors, sharp.

     

    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. See photo #3.

  5. 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.

  6. 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.

  7. 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

  8. 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.

  9. 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.

  10. 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.
