I don't know any reversal stock with tonal range more than 6 stops. How about using Kodak Ektachrome? (5285) It is much more easier to get in big rolls and it is factory perforated to B&H. edit. and it is also cheaper. and you can also get short ends of it. http://www.tapesuperstore.com/ek52core.html

I have done some E6 work with Tetenal kit using 7285 and Lomo tank. I wasn't very precise during processing but I would say that about 2-3 ºC varies in temperature can be definetely seen on film. I think it's mostly an issue when you try to match different rolls together, it is very hard to keep the process fully repeatable all the time. And wet film can be scratched very easily, you have to be very precise when handling the film after prosessing. I think it's quite impossible to get best possible results in the conditions you mentioned. But if you want, go for it.

Oh, sorry. We had 300w Lilliput set and two 800w Redheads. We called them all "Ianiros". It is quite usual here to call all open face fixtures as "redheads". (if a light fixture was accindentally in frame, our director usually yelled "move that Kino out of there", no matter what kind of light it actually was: open face, fresnel.... :huh: )

Thanks Matthew :lol: Maybe I used too much that "golden" light effect. But I really like it :) I can maybe post some kind of video sample later if our producer gives me permission ;)

i shot this 70-minute long feature this summer with Sony's PMW-EX1. I have never done any 'real' lighting before. Some of the shots looked quite good, some of the other ones, hm, didn't. But here's a link to the photostream, please comment :lol: http://www.flickr.com/photos/15097450@N02/...57608865240032/

my H16RX (rex0 from 1957) runs 28 seconds at 24fps. i recorded the running noise once and calculated the fps, if I remember correctly it was about 25.5 fps with full spring and 23.5 fps at the end. the camera ran very smoothly. at 32 fps it started from about 34 fps and was about 30 at the end. My camera can't handle over 40fps without problems. (my K2 runs 50fps without any problem :lol: )

Have some rolls lying around, dunno how old they are :ph34r:

I didn't mention that's NOT my own camera I just found it from the web. But anyway... :P I know what you NEVER want to try with your own camera: http://www.flickr.com/photos/15097450@N02/...57605739902923/

I think this is a bit more pimped K-camera than yours Kristian http://www.owyheesound.com/images/owyheeso...6mm_camaera.jpg :P It is on this site: http://www.owyheesound.com/krasnogorsk.html

I like K2 too :rolleyes: Loading the magazines is quite nasty becourse I don't have any kind of device to spool the film to those cores. Winded it manually using my fingers, huh :blink: (only 40 feet not 100 usually ;) ) I also converted it to s16 but have no tools to collimate it. Still works fine in r16. :unsure: (the Meteor 5-1 seems to cover the s16 frame when about below 50mm and under f2.0 or something. btw, are those f or T -stops?) # OMG can I use Kinor zoom in K2? :huh: If so, I'll maybe visit the Ebay soon ;)

I opened my K2 once, and reattached the sprocket wheel (which drives the film) to a slightly wrong position. this causes sometimes that the wheel jams. Try to open the pressing wheels, if it is this kind of problem it should help immediately. (you hear a huge 'click' or 'crack' and then the camera works again :rolleyes: )

Hi, I'm wondering if it is safe to use pure 2-propanol (isopropyl alcohol) for lens surfaces. I have used it for my old Switars and an old Fujinon eng zoom, it worked without issues. But I'll maybe shoot a part of a small-budget feature soon (or work as an ac) and must to know if this stuff can harm the multicoating or filter surfaces ( my friends assume that can happen :ph34r: ) (the lens isn't mine, and it is more expensive too, so raping the coatings would be a shame, although I know the lens is already scratched by others :rolleyes: ) #It will be about five years old 2/3" Fujinon tv zoom and Formatt filters, I don't remember details. thank you for answering :lol:
