I'm delighted to see Vision2 technology in a low speed daylight film. IMO, If any format stands to really gain from this, it would be super8. And in case anyone is mislead, super8 cameras were designed for both tungsten and daylight stocks. The 85 filter is removeable! With Vision2 200t and 500t Kodak have almost succeeded in dragging super8 out of the dark ages. They need to finish the job with a low speed negative. Let's keep reminding them from time to time and hopefully we'll get there. Here are some clips of 200t and 500t super8 I posted on an 8mm forum a while ago using an anamorphic x1.5 lens to produce 2:1 images. First clip is a Canon 814 XL-S and 500t at night shooting with the XL shutter and no additional lighting: http://www.stanford.edu/~yemi/yemiCom/test..._v2_500t_od.mov Next we have the 814 XL-S during the daytime with 200t: http://www.stanford.edu/~yemi/yemiCom/test..._v2_200t_od.mov Finally the Canon 518sv with 200t indoors: http://www.stanford.edu/~yemi/yemiCom/test..._v2_200t_in.mov :) ------ Yemi

Hi There. I have plans to shoot 16:9 with my Beaulieu R-16 by simply cropping the 4:3 image. To help me, I would like to get the 16:9 frame lines marked on the ground ground glass. A Beaulieu camera technician was nice enough to ship an R-16 ground glass unit to me so I can get it marked up before he services my camera. Someone has already offered to mark the ground glass using a pencil for $75. Is this a typical charge for such work? Will the result be satisfactory? Are there any alternatives I could use? I have heard mention of glass etching too. Using a pencil to draw lines on the glass doesn't seem too difficult to me.....please give me your opinion/advice. ----- Yemi

If you have what I'm after, drop me a line (yemi@yemi.com) At this time, I'm not interested in other DS8 cameras. ------- Yemi :)
