  1. Hello

     

    i use two large paper developing trays filled with water and two aquarium heaters heating each at the 38C temperature.

    one tray heats the chemicals the other the lomo tank. thats the best method i have found so far to keep good temperature during the process.

     

    i also consider emptying the tank is included in developing time but i am not sure if this is right.

  2. i agree with Anthony Schilling. Some sort of small budget scanner would be great to keep the format alive. even the "cheap" available scanners are in the price range of small businesses, that can make money from it, first paying off the money spend for the scanner and then profit.

     

    Also i agree with many posts in this topic. A great addition would be a new toy like camera, lomo approach, a new camera (maybe a copy of nizo )that can be sold to a midrange consumer and a pro model as described for the pros and hardcores.

     

    ok i want it all. i confess.

  3. its interesting. its like quicktime vr for stills.

     

    Did they use the 0-360 upside down? because missing picture is in the floor only. if you pan to the ceiling everything is there.

    also 0-360 states its seamless.

    i thought they used a custom rig with many cameras and then compiled using software. you can see some blur when rotating the view, where different shots get connected.

  4. The ebay adds say the same thing about the c mount lenses like kern etc.

    i dont get every video in youtube with gh1 and these lenses is like you say with big black fuzzy edges on all corners of the image.

    So why are the users after these lenses?

    Is the look they are after worth the zoom they have to do for the black edges to dissapear ?

    I understand that c mount are compact but other than that..

  6. Didnt know about the morse tank and it sounds like pain for many baths.

    That processing mashine is amazing but Richard has a point.Still if i had it in my darkroom i would be very happy!

     

    I remember a processing mashine that was in Olex Kalynychenko's old website about the lomo tanks.

    here are the links, the website is not online anymore so its archived and unfortunatelly theres no picture of the mashine.it looked kind of compact,compared to the normal ones and to the one in youtube.it was for b/w only.maybe with some modification more baths could me added.i am still hunting for a 100ft lomo tank in ebay.no luck yet.

  7. Hello!

     

    I am using the lomo tank and when i am carefull with temp monitoring i get nice results(not pro of course).there are many ways to achive this.

    I preheat the tank with water at the right temperature so that i can decelarate the drop of temperature of the chemicals etc.there are many articles on the web about it.

     

    Why is the morse tank only for black and white?

     

    I dont know what you mean automated but the lomo tank is quite like any 35mm photo film tank, except it accepts longer film, so the procedure is similar.

     

    Keep up!its fun to experiment and try cross process for funky results.

  8. I think it is great that you may be on a fixed income but still are a filmmaker and are active.

     

    My point is is we shouldn't be advocating this mailer procedure as a "freebie". It is not a freebie. Several companies, services, their paid employees, their time, all must get involved to give the customer with an yellow mailer something for "free".

     

    For those that can pay, paying and appreciating that the service exists is what matters more than pretending there is an imaginary free service that just magically exists.

     

    I didn't say im on a fixed income.

     

    About the mailers it was a question of clarification. By asking it isn't a try to trick, disrespect or get a free job done by the Dwaynes working people. I am pretty sure that if it was true, the yellow mailers process, the Dwaynes would trade the envelopes for money from Kodak, and as Freya Black says at some point we paid for it. Since the deadline is gone we have to pay.

    Those than can or cant pay, pay by sacrificing or not other things to have fun or make art with film.

    FREE is long time dead.

     

    I really don't understand what this sensitivity regarding the respect for the working people etc, which i share and advocate, has to do with the thread.

     

    End of 2010 we have to hurry. But since there lots of k40 around ebay i suspect theres gone be an update to the deadline.

  9. It's kind of sad how the discussion is more about getting something for free than just paying for the processing. All the time and postage that is going to be wasted not just by the filmmaker, but by all the service people dealing with the film at every step of the way, just in the hopes of getting a few rolls of kodachrome film processed for free?

     

    It's not really free if it takes such an effort.

     

    http://www.super-8mm.com and http://www.super-8mm.net should have updated information on processing kodachrome forty film, the final deadline appears to be near the end of 2010.

     

    Its kind of sad that some people don't understand that for some people free process for even one roll could be nice and important for their personal monthly income.

    Also btw there are people that have to go to the post, to send their films for processing because there are no labs that process super 8 film in their country.

     

    Such an effort...
