Hello All

One of our clients has a Nikon R10 S8 Camera, does anyone here know if it has a automatic light meter?

if so can you adjust the light meter manually?

Thanks in Advance

This workflow was somewhat common in the late 70 through mid 80 s on lower budget films, I m not so sure on how less expensive this work flow was, being all the film labs back then had reduction printers maybe it wasn't. Anther step the filmmakers had to go through is once the reduction print was made before cutting it for editing the work print and matching 35mm negative then had to have a new edge-code applied to the 35mm negative, the 16mm work print and the 16mm mag this was necessary so that the negative cutter can accurately cut the 35mm negative to the 16mm work print. We at Metro Post are currently building a new lab in New Jersey we will be offering to start S8.16mm b/w reversal processing Ektachrome S8/16mm reversal processing I m also installing all 3 of my SEKI optical printers there with those we can do 35 to 16 reduction 16 to 35mm blow up super 35mm to anamorphic 35mm and 1 to 1 printing all wet or dry gate.

Does anyone here know of any Precision Machine shops or camera service company that can make new Mitchel Registration Pins?

Kodak lab process super 8 in a 50 ft per minute photmec machine not 100 ft per minute.

Their super 8 processing is totally fine, since they started Super 8 we processed over 125 cartridges there.

also what scanner was it done on?

Hey Guys

I just got back from Hollywood and one of he things I attended was the REEL THING Aug 23 through Aug 25 at the Linwood Dunn Theater one of the presentations was called Burden of 10k Dreams

presented by Anthony Matt of Prime Focus and Laurel Warbick of HBO they scanned a section from a camera negative of a HBO Feature from 1995 in both 4k Director(done by my facility Metropost in NY and on the Lasergraphics 10 Director done at Lasergraphics Headquarters in Irvine Calif. They showed the results in split screen side by side I can tell you ha there was no apparent gain in quality of the 4k vs the 10k. Not to mention the insane file size of one single 10k frame.

Does anyone know who carries the batteries for the Bolex Vario Switar len s

there are 3 total power zoom and electric eye

Does anyone know where a vista vision camera can be rented?

you can try rewashing through the negative bath again that usually helps.

Does any one know if http://www.film-photo.co.uk/ is still open for business?

Shutter is out of sync.

Hi does any one know of a reliable repair facility for Aaton cameras in the USA?

They are open it just has not been officially announced. I have already scanned a few jobs processed there

Spielberg production starts shooting end of May along with a HBO Series all shooting in 35mm.

Thanks for the response s

Im curious about what you guys think of this portion:

He also planned to use traditional film cameras for most of the shooting, reserving digital cameras for low-light scenes. He quickly realized, though, that film “didn’t have the sensitivity to capture the scenes we were trying to shoot, especially the things we shot at dawn and dusk,” as he told an interviewer.

The digital footage, by contrast, had no noise or graininess, and the equipment held up much better in the extreme cold. The crew soon switched over to digital cameras exclusively.

Saw this the other day, would like to hear some comments from forum members concerning how digital cameras captures a better picture in low light situations.

LOOKS like it will be open within 2 weeks Chemistry going into the processing machine next Tuesday.

They will have inventory by mid March.

So I can interpret he means that the 35mm print looked superior?

NOTHING like a 35mm print right from the cut ocn.

Dirk curious how the 35mm print compares to the dcp?

Hello Giorgio

Curious why you would want to blow up S16 to 2 perf 35mm what result are you trying to achieve?

Weather it could be done optically or digitally it would have to be a custom made set up.
