For those who cannot wait to see some really well done Super-8 filming... https://vimeo.com/ondemand/straight82018cannes8

Don't hold your breath while waiting for the Kodak reversal film. Ektachrome 100D is here! Over 50 minutes of running time at 18fps! Ektachrome 100D 400ft can of Double-Super-8 DS-8 Kodak Ektachrome 100D Double Super-8 16/8 2R 122 meter / 400 feet Kodak 7285 CAT 186 1681 Comes from cooled storage, factory sealed. Obviously you will need a DS8 camera or skills and capability to cut and split this DS8 into 16 pieces suitable for Super-8 cartridges. Shipping from Netherlands The Fata Morgana:

Considering OP Mr Piehler in Germany does repairs on several types of S8 cameras. E. Piehler Nachtweide 13 64569 Nauheim 06152-807938 eMail: kameratechnikpiehler@t-online.de Germany Camera-repair, Projector-repair, Repair ----------------- http://clickundsurr.de/ has absorbed the workshop of mr Munder and should be able to do the same. If they listened well.

When in the USA I have no advice but to determine the price in advance, likely it will cost an arm and a leg. Shipping to Europe might work but will add extra. Consider mister Piehler. Unfortunately, mister Munder has gone retirement, it seems his workshop equipment went to a new facility in Berlin

Use the ground glass to check on the focus (at wide open aperture). Then test a bit of film using a tripod and focus on an object in the far distance like electricity pylons and such. You may need dense ND filters to force the aperture open. many films are ISO 100+ and you will be at f11 before you know it. This is important when filming tripod style. When doing handheld filming while walking don't bother with collimating. Leave the aperture on 11-16 and all be as sharp as possible using Super-8 Use the internet to find chargers. Take one with a limited charge current as you may want to not fry the circuit in the camera Curious how people, while filming costs some Euro 20 per minute, want parts and cameras for nearly nothing or film like they are using a smartphone. Good luck. BTW you can't see the orange filter through the viewfinder. UNless it is a screw-on at the front of the lens or an internal like on the 6-66 for 6008 cameras. Likely you mistakenly are taking the ground glass with particles on it for the daylight-filter.

Possibly the size is a problem in itself but to get going you might try doing a conversion to an older readable format? There are even free online services for that. Be sure to NOT accidentally share the images :)

What do you think of this? Euro 800 for a worn lens, clearly poorly worked on, disassembled from a camera and LCU which usually sells far lower. Then claiming to not know what format it is suitable for. It is playing at hastily buyers or such. https://www.ebay.com/itm/ANGENIEUX-6-90-6-90mm-f-1-2-13-x6B-w-C-Mount-GH4-BlackMagic-BMPCC-GH5-BMCC/371977733718?_trkparms=aid%3D222007%26algo%3DSIM.MBE%26ao%3D2%26asc%3D47300%26meid%3Dc44a680b454f4df89f73b936a9221e53%26pid%3D100005%26rk%3D2%26rkt%3D6%26sd%3D371977715859&_trksid=p2047675.c100005.m1851

All set for this spring? :) What would be the purpose of this straight cylinder of glass at the rear? Could this be adapted to shorter length to fit it to other cameras with more distance from the film? Like the Leicina Special M-mount?

The ground glass is intended for critical focusing. Like when in very close-up or macro. Also when filming with wide aperture like f1.8-1.2 when there is shallow depth-of-field. Otherwise, you can go without the ground glass and just film using the aerial image viewfinder. You still have to focus but then use the markings on the lens tube after determining the distance roughly (or use a ribbon) :)

Assuming that er are buyers for multiple runs is very optimistic. As with the Logmar, I would expect a market of only a few hundred pieces. At a far better price, you can have late models of top super-8 cameras which have far better features and fantastic optics Several models can be serviced quite well.

PM-ed Do you need other parts for your Leicina? Like a late version compact original pistolgrip/shoulder pod? Or a ST-1 controller for experimental exposure timings or sound sync pulses?

By the description I would guess the ground glass has been swung in... It gets darker, dependent on the aperture you may notice the structure of the grounded glass and of course you get to see the dust particles on the glass as black matter :) Just swing it out using its control knob. Left side very much to the front. The petite one. Just above the drive axis.

What is not working? It doesn't start, expose, transport film or what? Batteries OK, powered zoom working?

What is the point of this link to an abandoned motel franchaise in the USA?

There is a reason to this: "If it ain't broken don't fix it" Why on earth ship it around for no reason at all? Your attitude and easily offered money makes you easy prey for con-operations like painted here. Ritter is under German law and you better find legal help (there). Consumer protection in German is far more strict than in many other countries.

Who? Retro8 or Wittner?

Cotto had dies and punchers. It was all abandoned at a whimp. Wittner is slimming down considerablly. I would estimate they will not be perforating much after they reopen (if at all). May be there wil be sell off after they eject the lot or after they seize at all.

Remotecontrols of those days usually are 2.5mm And indeed the Canon suitable remote can be used on the 6008 :)

NOT homebrew DIY. Kodak original perforation in Kodak packaging. Bought it for a project from USA, self imported. It is now in Europe. Save on duties while it is here. This can never made it into the project and I don't expect any use in the short or long term. Nice to expose in DS-8 camera like Elmo Filmatic of Canon Scoopic for maximum sharpness or slit it into two strands and use these to fill 16 pieces of loadable Super-8 cartridges. Over 50 minutes of running time at 18fps! You can have it easily have it processes at any ciné lab which does E-6 Now selling it at USD $790 or EURO equivalent I have images of the offered can, the website is very limited on storage. IBAN banking preferred Paypal available at +3% I have an over 700 eBay positive feedback Rolls of 400ft of single strand meterware Super-8 was offered at Euro 400 http://www.filmvorfu...ektachrome +400 And sold out quickly...

It offers strikingly saturated color performance while maintaining a neutral gray scale and accurate flesh reproduction. 5285/7285 Film has exceptional sharpness that is unsurpassed by any other 100-sp eed reversal film, and its grain performance is excellent. This film also offers very strong reciprocity uniformity and keeping stability. This film offers outstanding results in outdoor and studio applications where strong color saturation is desired. It is excellent for advertising, nature cinematography, documentaries, music videos, and is especially good for telecine transfers and television filming. BASE Acetate safety base. EXPOSURE INDEXES Daylight (5500K): 100 Tu n g s t e n ( 3 2 0 0 K ) : 25 (with 80A filter) Use these indexes with incident- or reflected-light exposure meters and cameras marked for ISO or ASA speeds or exposure indexes. These indexes apply for meter readings of average subjects made from the camera position or for readings ma de from a gray card of 18-percent reflectance held close to and in front of the subject. For unusually light- or dark-colored subjects, decrease or increase the exposure indicated by the meter accordingly.

https://twitter.com/Kodak_ShootFilm/status/887730524743249931 Barely recognizable... Canon 1014-xls being used for a pro shoot. It seem it is fitted inside a carrycase which goes onto the tripod in all and is opened for filming.

When the door is open there is no contact to the batteries... You would have to run it from a external powersupply. Or put a lightsource in the filmchamber, run the camera and check the light flickering from the front, through the lens or take that off and just look at the bare shutter .

How are things progressing with finding a camera to fit this special lens?

I have sold some Kodachrome DS-8 boxes to a collector to use as a showpiece along with a camera. Nobody in his right mind should purchase these to expose and have them processed only into a faint sepia image. Rescue film lives off found cartridges 30 years or more old which people want processed at a premium just to see if there is any family on it or if they themselves are on it, possibly as a toddler.

There is one truely lightweight from Rollei (Japan OEM). The Canon AF310XL is super light for travel and the lens is 1.0! AF works nicely but only at the start of a shot. It is 1980 or such :) The Eumig compact are compact but heavy as they are fully brass.

Indeed nice camera's and underappreciated. There is nothing awkward to them. It is just clever design to develop the forehead support option. Like on the Leicina Special, Fujica ZC-1000, Minolta autopak D-10 and possibly others. The grip folds back for compactness during transportation and easy mouting on a tripod. The only thing might be that the grip is somewhat square when holding it. The Super and RT-1 connect to the external controller too for maximum serious filming.
