  1. I'm shooting my first ever film project this weekend with Tungsten Film....so I don't think I'll have much problem with color temperature shooting with my Tungsten lights. But next week I'm participating in a group project for class that may use 250D 16mm (free...that's why we're not using tungsten). We're shooting with my tungsten balanced halogens...and I know that if I want to use the daylight film I'll have to get an 80A filter. Unfortunately, the lens on my bolex is a Pan Cinor 100 and very old...so I don't think it's likely I'll find a filter that fits it (and I don't particularly want to buy one for a camera I'm borrowing). The Bolex has a behind the lens filter for putting gels. When I borrowed it, it included an 85 gel for shooting tungsten in daylight, but I now need a blue gel for converting the other way. I was wondering if I need an exact 80A/CTB gel or if I can use any approximate blue gel in this filter? I have a Blue gel that has a label on it reading 201....would that work for color temperature better than just shooting the film without it? Also, is it really necessary to use these conversion filters if in the end I'll be telecining the film and color correcting in Premiere Pro? I've never shot on film, so I don't know if the color temperature is something that can be remedied in post if I get it wrong on set. Also, if I use a filter behind the lens (and it doesn't have a filter factor on the label)...should I take my meter readings with a gel over the lumisphere? Thanks for any information....I've been getting some very helpful responses ever since I joined this board...thanks for everything. Doron Kipper
  2. The room I measured was not from an actual room...it was in the hypothetical situation. I'm just trying to get a better idea of the relationship between what I read on my meter, and what will actually show up on the film. Like, would the wall reading F11 be totally blown out, or would there still be some detail? and would the F2.8 object be lost in darkness, or would there be little or a lot of detail. How do I determine this?
  3. I had no idea that another name for the latitude measurments was a Sensitometric Curve...that's very helpful. I'm not sure if I'm reading the chart right though...Since the density is higher as you have less light...does that mean colors are richer or more saturated in the shadows than in the highlights?
  4. I'm a student shooting my first ever film project. I'm using Kodak 7250 Color Reversal...how do I determine the latitude? For that matter, how do I determine the latitude of any stock? Say that I use my meter and put it to someone's face...it read F5.6....so I set my lens to 5.6 I have wall that reads F 11, the sky outside reading F22, and a corner of the room reading F2.8 How will each show up on color reversal? And say I'm using Kodak Vision2 500T...how would these objects react differently if I used that negative stock?
  5. I have a film camera without a reflex viewfinder...so I've had to resort to using a tape measure for my first film shoot at school to achieve sharp focus. How should I go about focusing on something in the reflection of a mirror? Should I measure the distance from the mirror to the object, and then from the mirror to the camera and add them together? or measure just to the mirror?
  6. Thanks for the info. That explains why I can't get it to rewind! Is there a database I can enter my serial number into to find the model number?
  7. I borrowed a friend's 16mm Bolex with a Pan-Cinor 100 Lens. The lens itself has a viewfinder sticking out the side, and when I look through it, I see a perfect image....all the time. I can change the focus or f-stop and nothing in the image changes. How is this possible? Is the depth of field just that deep, or am I missing something? Also, it doesn't say on the lens if the markings are f-stop or t-stop. Is there any way to determine this? This is my first time using a film camera....and I'm basically wandering through the dark. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks Doron Kipper
  8. I just borrowed a Bolex 16mm wind up camera from a friend. And there are no model numbers or any names on the body except for Bolex. From surfing the net, I have a feeling it's an H16 of some sort, but I have no idea what specific version it is. I'd like to look up the manual for it, but can't if I don't know the model. Any ideas on how to figure this out? Also, I tried to rewind a few frames, but I can't figure it out. I disengaged the motor by flipping the main switch from MOT to 0...then moved the slider to M (the on switch)...and there is a knob with a backwards arrow...I turned it, and the internal counter showed frames moving back, but the actual film in the camera did not move at all. Any ideas? Thanks
