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-816/8 2R122 meter / 400 feetKodak 7285CAT 186 1681Comes 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

Considering OP
Mr Piehler in Germany does repairs on several types of S8 cameras.
E. Piehler
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.
-
I too have come into the Super 8 world at the peak of cost, but it is forcing me to storyboard everything I want to do, unlike when I was shooting with my Canon HV40 - I would shoot endless amounts of footage and go through it later.
The one thing I wasn't counting on was the digitization formats. I have an old Windows computer with Sony Vegas Pro 8 and it appears unable to handle the file of my first test roll. Looking at new computers is making my head spin.

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.
-
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) :)
-
What people seem to be missing is that Kodak has said that that three grand price tag is for the initial run.
Also, people are throwing away the same amount, if not more, for Pro8mm's Beaulieu refurbs, how would this be any different?
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? -
Hello all!
I have a strange new problem with my Beaulieu 5008, the viewfinder seems suddenly dark (no as clear as it was when i bought the camera), i feel like the mirror is "half way", not completely positioned and i see some black points on the viewfinder, do you know what happened and how can i fix it? I don't have batteries to run it but i will test it this week-end.
Thank you!
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.

Hi all, I wonder if anybody who took part at this forum saved a copy of the PDF manual of Bauer 715XL and can share. I tried with the link of Robert Huges, but doesn't work, it was posted too many years ago. I recently bought the camera on eBay, it's in perfect conditions but doesn't work.Maybe there's something wrong I do and reading the manual I can find a solution. The former owner said it worked. Thanks everybody, Have a nice weekend, Alfredo Betro'
What is not working? It doesn't start, expose, transport film or what?
Batteries OK, powered zoom working?

As posted on the other thread, http://super8exchange.com/camera_instructions.php?file=NzA5LnBkZg==QTPXZDWSHI
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.
-
Jubilations! I've received a notice from them that my order has been accepted and shipped! The boys are back in Super 8 town!
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 :)

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.

Excerpts from Kodak Datasheet
https://www.super8.nl/file/7285.pdfTECHNICAL DATA / COLOR REVERSAL FILM
KODAK EKTACHROME 100D Color Reversal Film 5285 /
7285 is a 100-speed, high-color reversal motion picture camera film intended for
photography under daylight illumination (5500K). 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. -

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 recently came across this:
http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/super-8-film-/112383459627?hash=item1a2a93812b:g:QjMAAOSwnF9Y6wTf
18 carts of Kodachrome sound film! I would be interested to see how much they go for...
cheers, Gareth
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.

Hmm. Maybe I have different travel thoughts but having recently acquired a Leicina Super (not RT-1) I don't know if I'd view it as a travel camera. It's fairly heavy and not super compact. Granted I'm sure plenty of people have travelled and DO travel with them but I'd prefer something smaller and lighter than that since I am usually traveling via backpack only. I haven't used it yet so perhaps in my tests it'll win me over. It definitely does have a quirk or to in its operation but what Super 8 camera doesn't? ha. I do like that it reads all film speeds although I've shot 500T at 160 due to it being a Nizo and it scanned just fine. Different strokes I guess. There's always the ultra compact Super 8 cameras out there that are barely larger than a freaking cartridge!
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.

Ektachrome 7240 30 meter / 100 feet perforated for R-8 N-8
For the die-hard R-8/N-8 filmer and projection-lover
I have had a stack of Ektachrome 7240 perforated for R-8 N-8
Obtained from a collection of materials from a careful filmer
who kept it in cooled storage until just a few months ago.
Euro 90 per roll of 30 meter/ 100 feet
(check on Wittner (=45) or Kahl (=30) for their 7.5 meter non-Kodak-color material :) )
Material is on 100ft daylight spools. Will fit a number of cameras
but most will require respooling onto small spools.
I am expecting a load of small spools, just not here yet.
Processing is in VNF-1 found at several labs.
But also popular with DIY processing people :)
Seller based in Netherlands. Within EU happy shipping and duty free :)
