Have a good or better time with above article. You can find Citizen Kane , wide angle attachment picture below.

I have surfed the web but I couldnt find any information . Who were manufacturing aspheron attachments at 1940 ? Is there a archive , patent number , prescription , catalog , designer , glass , manufacturing technology belong to the pictured aspheron ? I want to learn everything about it .

Thank you very much,

I am an photographer and old prepress man and retired  newspaper printing machines serviceman. I learned Welles used SuperXX and I found Fortepan 200 have the same formula of prewar Kodak SuperXX . But that film is no more in production since 2007. I found French Bergger 200 is new and have same formula as above.

I want to develop my negatives as done at Citizen Kane movie. I need prewar formula , timing and temps and other steps. Tomorrow I am going to go to buy Nikon 24 + F601. And in few weeks , Bergger 200 reaches to me.

If you know something , please help me .

Thank you,

Umut

I bought Lomo 35 nap2 3m 56/2 f:80-110.

What is next ? I have a K Mount Pentax Film Camera body or I can buy other brand film camera body and how will I attach it to camera ? I will only shoot at infinity and it closes more than 9 meters most.

Please shed some light .

Thank you ,

Umut

David,

Thank you very much for your reply. My friends at APUG informed me about tv factor at the same time with you..

I think it was not good idea but additional 1.3x lens does not harm

I want to record giant scene in to the film. I think LOMO would help. Look good bad ugly final moments , its a monster size view.

I looked to LOMO Anamorphic lenses and they are cheap and built like a tank. Can I attach these monsters to a Film SLR camera where viewfinder cropped to Techniscope format and do what Spagetti Director did ?

Is there a slide scan taken with these lenses and comparatively with normal camera lens.

Would be the frame oval or rectangular ? Will there be vignetting or chromatic aberration ? Is Baltar better than LOMO ?

Hello David ,

Thank you for your reply,

You are right , I am extremelly new to subject.

I saw a spagetti western and Clint was travelling with an horse and others in a rocky valley at the end of the movie. I saw it may be 15 or more years ago . Every one is so thin and long.

I want that effect , I dont know its exact terminology or technology but someone told me it was 2 perf to 4 perf expansion.

Can you help me ?

I want to carry a viewfinder - diy or used , I cant buy new and diy is faraway more funny and cheap may be - to view everyone as that movie.

Thank you ,

Umut

Hello David,

Thank you for your reply , If I am not wrong , they take 12x35 mm and than print 24x35mm , my english is struggling to describe , but if it is not streched , may be expanded from 2 perf to 4 perf.

I want a viewfinder which will simulate that effect , I know they are very expensive but printing a worse version with 3 d printer from clear acrylic would be very funny.

Is there such a viewfinder , its patent or its research paper exists.

Thank you ,

Umut

I love the streched Techniscope Panaroma Shots of Spagetti Westerns.

I am looking for a directors finder or a patent or paper to give me design tips to print with 3d printer.

please help,

Hello there , I was looking for 35mm photograph camera with Angenieux lens and they were expensive. I found above and grabbed it without knowing anything about it.

Can I use it alone as directors viewfinder or mount in to 35mm photograph camera as lens or make a DIY photograph camera out of it ? I am thinking using cine film.

Tell me something,

Thank you ,

I read many times that at Emmanuelle movies , operator was using vaseline to coat the lens. I found some horrible dslr shots with that technique at youtube.

I want to know the technique and to my eye , skin tones was perfect , blacks were dense and saturated colors were strong , especially golden broderies were glowing , all resembles to me Hong Kong technicolor prints. Am I right ?

Thank you,

I wanted to write were old timers watching the films as digital restorations .

I am an film shooter and deeply inspired with two color Kodachrome movies and some Kinemacolor restorations at youtube. Even for a youtube video , results are matchless. I only saw such a metallic colors at some modern kodachromes and I never seen such a beatiful skin tone anywhere at two color Kodachromes.

It is too good to be true. Were all times watching the movies such that videos or is it a digital marvel.

If it is digital , is there a tutorial , post , website or book to carry such film shots to that level ?

Above question ,

Umut

I am looking for a way to lower film cost for my plastic Leica and switched to regular 8. I will use Bolex as photograph camera and I shoot only 1 good picture per 100. I want to scan that frame with 40 dollars desktop scanner and if I scan highest resolution , would it be better than telecine ?

Thanks,

Umut

I want to use regular 8mm camera as my photograph camera. I want someone digitised the frames and send me in DVD or USB. Is it possible and to what common cost ?

I dont have money for digital camera and diy telecine.

Thanks,

Umut

Thank you Zac.

Where the sharpness start from close distance to lens? I want to use the camera as animation single frame camera and before taking 2000 non sharp pictures , I have to be sure . Lets say aperture was wide open ?

Thanks again,

Umut

Thank you Joerg,

You helped a lot. I bought an Double 8 Paillard Bolex C8 Camera and an D Mount Yvar 13mm f:1.9.

Best,

Umut

I am thinking to attach D Mount Yvar 13 mm on to Super 8 Camera .

Can I find cheap cameras ? What is your advise ?

Umut

What is the difference between these two lenses , is there color grading , sharpness or reliefness difference between them ?

Umut

Above question.

Above.

Umut

Do Regular 8mm labs test a piece from your film before processing ?

Umut

I will recieve a c8 in few days and want to shoot 2000 single frames for next 3 months. I ask does it harm the springs to keep the camera under cranked tension or what is your advise ?
