cant attach three jpegs of 160 kb each help!!

But thats the whole point.not pissing the same solution. One thing you can do is regulate what you eat and drink so that you make a solution for the look you are after! hehe bio-process i will check my files for the pdf. meanwhile check out this article about the coffee process

Yes this is typical scanning of the b/w negative in color scanning mode, at least with my scanner. If you notice the effect is not consistent among the shots. if you are interested in the look, there is the b/w reversal process that mr martin baumgarden describes in super8metadirectory that skips the re-exposure and uses a sepia as second developer (if i remember correctly). If you are interested in alternative process google mr Ken Paul Rosenthal and also there is a pdf named recipes for disaster that has film process even with urine!!! :o If you are interested i have it somewhere in my backup pm me! Alex

hello http://super8data.com/ there is a list with bell and howells models. but doesn't say anything about asa. check if there is a pin inside the film chamber near the door. If there is the camera is probably 40/160 type. In any case search the forum and you ll find plenty information how to shoot film in 40/160 cameras good luck

This is funny!!! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lj-x9ygQEGA !hahahah enjoy

So its a mod. i just wanted to make sure of it. thank you. btw the price is extreme. i think you can get housing and sr for that money and the link doesnt work in my pc pff

Look at this.never seen one of these with 400ft capacity. http://cgi.ebay.com/ARRI-ST-16mm-400-Under...93%3A4|294%3A50 Is it a mod or a special arri model?

Now LETS SEE SOME TEST FOOTAGE ! hehe good luck alex

Hi again. there's a small lock lever on the speed dial. first times i used the camera i always messed with that lock.if its locked the dial moves freely but doesn't affect speed (maybe mine is broken not sure) but when its unlocked i can control the speed. so maybe check this out. lets hope yours is not broken or smting. It is strange that the camera runs when you press the switch but doesn't when you close the door. don't misunderstand my question but are you loading the film correctly ?(im sure you are but double check) because the film closes the switch so your camera should work and also mine works with the door open (don't try it at high speeds) so i always load it in off mode .The door only frees the film counter from the magnet. hope that helps alex

perfect you got it running.good luck shooting ! At the end of the month i will have some time to scan the rest of the manual. Its like 50-70 pages more so .. Ill email you once i have it. Alexandros

The manual after page 51 has the parts list of the camera. the camera doesnt run without film. That fact is clearly written in pages you already have. page 15 figure 9 "end of film cut off switch" page 18 paragraph 3.4.8 END OF FILM CUT OFF SWITCH "the LOCAM II is equipped with a film actuated switch to automatically cut off power to the camera motor when the end of film passes the swirtch assembly. the actuating arm for the switch is located at the point where the film leaves the lower or take up sprocket." I dont know if you can trick this switch and press it with a finger, i am afraid to do it (locam could eat a finger i think) Its all in there in the manual. Also i had a battery that was correct volts but with insufficient Ahmps and the camera didnt start. So check that too.

well the s560 is cheap in germany is because there are many cameras there and not because it is a crummy camera. its not top of the line but certainly not crummy.

hello a cheap nizo wouldnt be bad for a beginner. Something like a nizo S560. It has some nice features like single frames, Intervalometer, fades, timed exposure, understands most asa films, manual diaphragms. With this camera you could get stoked to super 8 trying lots of things and it givs nice results. Check art leal's http://vimeo.com/user341948 he has some footage with S560 the only drawback is the batteries they have for the lightmeter. but not a big deal if you start using the camera. you can get s560 in ebay.de reaally cheap. Good luck! to summarize buy a camera to start shooting and in time you will get the good one!!

hello when i first tried to power up a Locam the batteries i used where the right volts but not enough Ahmps. So when i pressed the on switch it did make a loud noise but nothing started rolling.I dont know if your camera is dc or ac but it could be a power problem, or lots of other things. it don't think that it cant take smaller than 400ft spools. Have you searched for the cameras manual? good luck

the question of the original post is what super 8 camera to buy to start with not what format to choose to start with..

so "repackaged" and that the way they are advertising it http://www.pro8mm.com/pdf/super8filmstocks.pdf "Super8/80 - ASA 64 Tungsten Reversal E-6: Latitude: 3-stops of fine grain repackaged to include Pro8mm award winning processing. Muted colors more like old VNF ektachrome. Stock need 85B filter to covert to daylight. Best stock for old home movie look." if you hadn't post this, it could easily mislead me too. They ought to say that it contains Kodak Ektachrome 64T 7280. although with the word "repackaged" the might get away with this. I will insist to my previous question.whats the deal with kodak? maybe someone could chime in to this one?? WARNING off topic Btw the "Filmstock review 2008 - in pictures" is amazing.

what does Kodak say about that? Is this legal to do? A sticker over Kodaks product and sell it as another brand?!!!!!???!!!! ok "reformatted" they sell stock that is slit from bigger film sizes and then packed in s8 cartridge. is this the case again? and if thats the case whats the point of reformatting an already available film?

Is the skater at 4:45 alive??? also at 5:25 are there any computer graphics to enhance the explosion? this by far some of the best footage in skateboarding the last couple of years, (check out Yeah right video spike Jonzes is involved with great slow motion and from that video is that scene Mathew mentions from the youtube video at 0:09)

\m/ nice!

:blink: i remembered another source http://www.lukechips.com/search/?search=tr...p;Submit=Search (the connector is Deutsch DM9702-19S if you use their search engine) but when i contacted them they wanted a shipping account number (UPS, FedEx or DHL) so that they can send me the part because i am outside usa. I think i paid 50$ for it which seems a lot but didnt want to hack the camera so.. as for the film i used normal pitch film. Btw locam uses both pitches why did you preferred the long one? does it perform better?

Hello there is a guy in Ebay (35mos user name) that sold me one of these connectors. After i bought it i noticed that he sold 2-3 of these again. So maybe you could contact him. But make sure that the connector is a good shape because mine got here full of iron solder but luckily in pins 2 and 3 that arent needed in a Locam. (i think these are for Millikens) I power mine with two 12volt NiCd batteries and the camera runs ok and sounds as if it gains full speed. I havent done any telecine for these rolls yet to tell you for sure about the speed. Mine is also non reflex and i was thinking that i could buy a beaten up reflex on and try to combine the two cameras. After i saw the schematics i started to have second thoughts and watch angenieux lenses in ebay... alexandros

Hello! I had the same problem with b/w films shot in various cameras but mainly eumig nautica. I started a thread about that problem and most people suggested it is a light leak or a chemistry issue. Light leak throughout almost a whole roll seemed to me not so likely to have happened so i figured i did something wrong when i home processed the films. The effect looks exactly the same a stripe in perfs and also this stripe is a bit green comparing to the rest of the film area. alexandros

hello Will i have sent you a pm let me know ! cheers

hello ! i have shot with an c to f adapter (nikon brand) and it works with good results. It is sharper compared to footage shot with the same adapter and a bolex rex4, (many factors for that, the prism of bolex, the registration of locam etc) also the c mount mount of locam seems by far more robust than the the turret of the bolex. if you get your locams maybe we should organize a festival LOCAMII TEST SHOTS hehe seeya
