  1. Hello all I have a POE Switar Lens and the aperture is not working properly. I reached out to PROCAM Dieter Schaefer in Arizona who I know can fix this but he is (temporarily closed) hopefully. Does anyone know who else can fix this? regards
  2. Films shot in Negative would have to be timed on a Hazeltine to get to the first answer print, once the first answer print was done lab timer would use CC filters on a lite box,then enter the new RGB values (either write them down or enter them into a computer) so a new timing tape would be made to feed the printing machine for the corrected print. For Film shot in Reversal Film the lab timers most lab timers viewed the cut reversal on a lite box and time by eye to make the changes.
  3. Does anyone know where I can get a Switar Lens with a stuck apature repaired? I seem to rember i found a guy in Arizona who specialized in doing that repair but I forgot who it was. any leads would be appreciated.
  4. The archival gates preform well on warpped film, however if te film is at the point where it is very brittle the film will just break. another option lasergraphics offers is adjustable tension on the feed and holdback drives this oprion come in very handy for film that is starting to get brittle and warped.
  5. 5244 is not release print stock, it is intermediate stock designed to make a Interpositive from the ocn or a internegative from a interpositive.
  6. Hello Richard Tommy from color lab is your best bet as he wrote new software to run the electronic light valves.. you can also reach out to Jonathan Banks as his previous company owned BHP and still has many parts and his warehouse. jbanks@mmtfilm.com and you can also try Janice Allen from cinema arts, she purchased tons of spare parts at the RTI/BHP Auction. msjallen@gmail.com
  7. Hello Matthew contact http://mononoawarefilm.com/equipment-rental_ they will have whatever you need to rent, speak to Steve Crossman tell him I Recommended them.
  8. The whole ORWO story has been very shady since the new owner took over. In the past ORWO made great BW Films for motion Picture use they made 2 different Camera Negative Films, 2 different Intermediate Films, Sound track recording films and positive films for release prints all of these films were available in 16 and 35mm formats and reasonably priced. Attached is their 2020 price and product sheet So what the word is from reliable sources, is that the new owner fired all of the ORWO technicians who worked and knew how to make these fine b/w film stocks so none of the stock on the pdf I attached here are no longer available. So now their only focus is on some Color negative film that is designed for stills and to be processed in C41 Bath. This Film has no REMJET backing which is important if it is going to be used as a motion picture film so why would any producer risk shooting a feature on this film? 2020 ORWO Price Sheet - Sheet1.pdf
  9. I would say this is more of a scanner issue than a camera issue. What brand film scanner was used to scan this film? We call this sprocket flare and I have seen this happen on different scanners. Did you shoot this footage in 35mm academy aperture? If you did that is why you see the sprocket flare mostly on the right side because the picture is exposed right up to the right edge of the film (next to the sprockets) on left side (if you shot in academy aperture) there would be unexposed space between the left side sprockets and the picture (sound track area for 35mm) that is why they don't show up on the left side. Also if you used expired stock and it has some built in base fog that makes the base darker than normal, the darker the base is, it will make the scanner light source reflect and make the sprocket flare more pronounced.
  10. I wouldn't count on this, from what I hear it is a lot of smoke and mirrors.

  16. The Demand for 16mm film has risen significantly for Kodak and they have been having trouble keeping up with demand. Another Problem is building back up their work force in Rochester, Right now there are many job openings in the film manufacturing area. https://www.google.com/search?q=jobs+at+eastman+kodak+rochester&sxsrf=AOaemvKIlmR7JMH2BHzxjNTbwwtr25CAfw:1632076441435&ei=mYJHYavbGaip5NoP4fqdoAk&oq=Job&gs_lcp=Cgdnd3Mtd2l6EAEYADIECCMQJzIFCAAQkQIyCwgAELEDEMkDEJECMgUIABCSAzIICAAQgAQQsQMyCAgAEIAEELEDMg4ILhCABBCxAxDHARCjAjIICAAQgAQQsQMyCAgAEIAEELEDMgUIABCABDoFCC4QkQI6DgguEIAEELEDEMcBENEDOggILhCxAxCDAToFCC4QgAQ6CAguEIAEELEDOgoILhDHARCvARAnSgQIQRgAUN3gF1ii6xdgr_0XaABwAXgAgAG9AYgBpwOSAQMwLjOYAQCgAQHAAQE&sclient=gws-wiz&ibp=htl;jobs&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwjA44WA2IvzAhVkMlkFHUPlDRAQudcGKAJ6BAgGECw#htivrt=jobs&htidocid=rTYT2bNbksBFgaUbAAAAAA%3D%3D&fpstate=tldetail
  17. Hello Dirk Here in the states Kodak there are shortages from Kodak for 7219 and 7213. Kodak told me that the demand for these stocks has increased . Hopefully this will be rectified soon.
  18. Lasergraphics just has just come out with a new scanner at a 40k price point called the archivist. http://www.lasergraphics.com/archivist.html
  19. Not sure if anyone heard about this yet, Columbia Collage in Chicago which is one on the top schools for Motion Picture Film Courses is phasing out film and going totally digital, not only that but word from the camera cage is hat all of the film camera s are to be junked. here is a excellent podcast from last week in response to this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2gOGQeCkS7U&fbclid=IwAR3qm-JYQhsLr-5ry3e2bq3K6-HDi5JtLS9sXfwpPgmceR88ddElWVrKCQg
  20. Hello All does anyone here know if Martin Mueller of MSM design and inventor of the Imax film camera still ha his shop open and any contact info? I have a e mail address for him but no response. Thank You to all
  21. Can anyone here recommend a safe way to ship exposed color negative that would be shot in Toronto and sent to NYC for Processing? a courier service would be preferred, but open to all suggestions.
  22. Lasergraphics is already testing this new 6.5k sensor in the scanstation and are expected to have one up and running at IBC next month. in the meantime in our scan station we got rid of the5k sensor (due to high noise levels) and replaced it with the Flir 4k sensor (which is a Sony Pregius and delivers far superior images over the 5k sensor. We will be upgrading to the 6k as soon as it is available. Lasergraphics also plans to put the mono chrome version of the 6.2 k camera in the Director as soon as it become available.
