As I said in my prologue, it will be available within two months. I plan to specialize on Nizo and Canon first but once I have the technology it won't be hard to do other camera's as well. The price will be around 300 euros and not pounds. The unit will be an external device because most camera's simply don't have enough space. It will work on an 9v battery and the power cost to the camera will be the same It will take some time for the camera to stabilize speed. Right now that time is only two seconds but I'm trying to make it less. The device is nearly finished but it needs a couple of finishing touches. I would be able to bring it out now but I really want it to be completely stable since I don't want complaints from costumers and I want to build up a good reputation. As soon as it is available, you all will be the first to know. Regards, Marko van Gemerden

The camera I synced is a Nizo 116. I did this because it's a very basic camera but has a flash contact which I need for feedback. I'm also working on a Nizo professional for the moment, I plan to modify all Nizo's and later I will work on Canon(1014 and 814). It would be nice if I could do the beaulieu's too but they don't have a flash contact which makes it harder. There is a way to get a pulse from a beaulieu, I just have to find out how and how I can make that worthy of production. Anyway, there is a lot coming up, I have also done some tests to make a monitor for super8 camera's(universal).

Maybe this will cheer you up after the bad K40 news. For the last three months I have been working on a crystal sync unit for super8 and 16mm camera's. I'm happy to say I've developed a working prototype. Within a few months I will be selling this unit together with a camera modification service. The unit will also feature a digital framecounter. The price will be around ?300($350). I will keep you informed on this forum. Marko

Hi, I recently bought a tetanal E6 kit with the intension of processing ektachrome and agfa moviechrome. I would like to ask if anyone has any expierence on using this kit and maybe tell me at what temperature i should work and what the developing times are. thanks, Heersbeer

That is not true, it can be done, the images will just look a bit magenta-like but i heard this can be solved by a bit of sulfuric acid. I'm just looking for developing times and temperature.

Thanks for all the great info but my question remains unanswered. The thing I need to know is what KIND of output signal I have to create(50Hz of 1000Hz pulses) and WHERE to connect it to. I have a function generator that can do anything I want but I don't know how to connect it. I recently bought a nizo camera and from what I understand the nizo camera's are easier to connect to crystal sync so if anybody can help me on that......?

Thanks for the info. I know how to make a crystal sync unit and let it oscillate at any speed I want but now I need to know how to connect it to the camera. On pictures I've seen crystal units using the flash contact but I can't imagaine that's the only connection to the camera. There must be a way to control the speed of the camera without having to increase the voltage of the motor directly(that wouldn't be a problem. Heersbeer

Hi, I have been trying to find info on how crystal sync works but I can't find anything. I have a beaulieu 5008s multispeed and I want to sync it. I know a lot about electronics but I need to know how what kind of signal the camera needs to be synced, then, I would be able to make such a control unit because the electronis are not difficult to make.
