    Something like those. They are intended for Kodak cartridges used as reloadable. Possibly the Kaccema has the same dimension. You could also attempt to find a tube of the same diameters. Might even be carton. The main point is to give an easy start for spooling up and to keep the film from stringing itself on the hub 🙂
  3. Andries Molenaar started following beaulieu 6008 s questions, Unknown exposed film stock in reloadable cartridge i want to process, Nizo s800 on tripod and and 3 others
  4. Andries Molenaar
    did you process it or was all film still on the supply side?
  5. Andries Molenaar
    There is indeed an adapter kit from Nizo which brings a cable to connect the battery box outside or in the swung back grip. You need boxes which have pointy contact with a rim near their base for that. Then there is a replacement plate to swap with the standard to receive the tripod screw and to fix the camera in a more stable position to your tripod head 🙂

    Kaccema takes 15 meters of regular acetate film. The important thing is to use a core. Just like the original Svema loads do. Forgetting or leaving that out gives a risk of the film locking on the hub and blocking the film from unwinding further. Like others seem to have experienced and who blame it on the Kaccema

    The Elmo Trifilmatic 300 DS-8 100ft has square hub-pins and Foma supplies DS-8 100 ft on spools with square holes. The Elmo 8-TL has round pins with a knob in its 100ft magazine. The Elmo 100ft spool has square holes.

    Considering how most film Super-8, it has no importance. It is often ISO 100+, aperture down to f11. Furthermore, it is often sloppy focusing and no tripods. The rear retro focus lenses on the most used zooms stay in place (isn't it the thing used for 0.01mm collimation focusing) so there is no difference when it is on 6 or 66 focal length. Only with macro, the rear lens gets pulled in. So if the camera runs fine just shoot a few frames from a tripod as described and see how these come out. Should you want reliable equipment for assignments you are better to get two working sets of equipment. That also covers theft, accidents or forgetfulness 🙂 Unless all the equipment gets involved here. BTW it would be interesting to see if Beaulieu had the C-mount flange machined down on this very last production ZM4s as these were equipped with in-lens filters in their fitted Schneiders

    It is a standard 30 meter camera spool. What is the trouble?

    None of the results googles lists were originally posted by Anderson himself. It is most from over-eager forummembers and data harvesters who list business to business informatie. As I recall his own website merely functions as a footholder without any info.

    There is plenty of play in the exposure. That must be because real consumer life is crude on this kind of technique 🙂 The notchrulers aren't all that different. Best to go with the Peaceman ruler as that is the newest and drawn up by an expert.
  12. Andries Molenaar
    Is it really good practice to post other people's real life data which they themselves never posted before?
  13. Andries Molenaar
    Don't bother with collimation after taking out the internal filter. It is just theory and witchcraft. Many filmers film handheld and with ASA 100 film have apertures near f11. So what would be the point? Just expose a bit of film at wide open aperture (use ND filter) while filming from a tripod. Find a subject at infinity and some other closer by and measure the distance which you set on the lens-scale. It that comes out fine you are fine. BTW the very late models of 4008ZM4 which came without internal filter weren't adjusted with their C-mount machined off for a hair's thickness either
  14. Andries Molenaar
    Would it not be logical to ask the repairman?
  15. Andries Molenaar
    Indeed a nice camera. I don't follow the reasoning that more film would drive the price down :) I don't understand why they the processing of E-6 or D-94 would need to go through retro8 too. They need the cartrdiges back?
  16. Andries Molenaar
    All R10s are equal :) Except for the zoom gears which are metal on the 78xxx series and nylon on 79xxx. R8 are the smaller camera but do have a smaller lens and want 625 batteries :( A problem might be that R10 are rather heavy and due to age you must double check on all features working properly. Sometimes they get noisy gears or possibly a stuck exposure system.
