To me this sounds like improper film loading and most likely your camera is just fine. First clean the gate and when you load the film, double check that the gate is properly seated and closed and that the claw meets the sprocket holes. Also be sure that the loop is of appropriate size, otherwise the film might get scratched. You should hear the difference if the camera is properly loaded or not.

That's a microphone jack. Cheers, Henri

Hi, I have one of these cameras and I have to say I like the soft and glovy image that the 12-120 Angenieux produces (kind of a one trick pony though...). Camera runs on 12V DC. I run mine with a 12V/7mAh lead acid battery that I got from local electronic supply store. Battery is connected to camera with regular XLR with standard pinout (at least the one I have). Camera has 173° shutter angle. You can get the manual from Frezzi, I once asked and was quoted $35 US. Cheers, Henri

While I do agree with Tim that you are better of with a handheld meter, I can tell you that I have gotten usable readings with the internal meter. I have had the adapter you mentioned for a year or so, and it has given consistent readings compared to my Sekonic. Don't know how long it will hold though and I wouldn't shoot a thing with out the Sekonic.

Thanks for your reply. Yes, they are 100ft. They have an identification number VXL455. lunnifer

Hi, I just got couple of 100ft rolls of Kodak 320T today. I'm going to shoot them with my K-3. I thought I can load this stock in subdued light, but the package tells me to load them in TOTAL DARKNESS. I understand it's really a good idea to unload in total darkness to keep all the exposed material. But what about loading, is total darkness an overkill? Thanks, lunnifer
