  1. Lightweight is no longer a requirement? Just check parallaxe.nl and see what he has got in stock. Shop has moved so mind the address and times
  2. You will be needing some 1000 paying subscribers when operational? These backers are to get things going? Makes one wonder how things got to work in paper age. A publisher would just go about and risk his own money. Just like with books...
  3. Now on some 15%. Not bad considering the small audience. Just these forums aren't going to hack it. They have an air of worlddominance but in real-life it is slightly less. Here you have some 250 unique viewers, others far less. As mentioned in some discussion about filmsales in North-America there must be a considerable group (99% :) )who aren't on fora. Best were to get a mention from Kodak or Spectra and pro8mm. Find emaillists from the former Smallformat publisher, Super8 today and who more. Try Fotoimpex who produce ADOX S8 Does google index kickstarter?
  4. Hello Jürgen, The mail went out this morning, according to the stats half of the 800 have openend mail by now and 10 clicked your kickstart link. A few, but of course it is photo club :) Regards Andries
  5. I'll be writing for a newsletter to 800 members of a EU based photoclub which has a ciné audience too. Possibly I could slip in a referal to this thead or the kickstarter page. There is no official website yet I assume?
  6. Last call for our Hilversum Fotografica show :) We are booked out. All stalls sold! 500+ meters of Ciné-Photo-equipment or goods. General major newspaper is picking up on our Show with a Polaroid article and a show recommendation.
  7. Considering the superbe features (claimed by the owners) something should have come from one of these :)
  8. Fotografica fair foire beurs Börse for the 79th time. 500+ metre of stalls, 1000+ visitors expected (i.e. numbers of 2016 and improved upon) As always with a number of stall holders with ciné related goods like plenty Super-8 cameras or projectiongear. Supplies et cetera. This time again Video van Eck from Tilburg, Netherlands present. Bookings are doing very well (per 21st february), would you like to participate as trader or for exposition do not hesitate any further to make your reservations. Information page (in Dutch), email or telephone correspondance in English, German, Dutch, French email: beursorganisatie@fotografica.nl http://fotografica.nl/ Arrive by train (internationally well-connected) at Hilversum Sportpark. Less than 5 minute walk from Dudok Arena, Arena 303 te Hilversum (google map preset). Plenty parking space and free on a sunday!
  9. Including tax only $30 per minute... Where have the times gone of a cartridge Kodachrome incl processing at $3 (bargain) and return shipping :) http://www.retroroadtrips.com/ RetroRoadTrips - the Super 8 film diary of Elliott Bristow
  10. Take off the lens and directly inspect the mirror visually (screw out the trigger button assembly and then screw off the lens) don't touch the mirror as it is surface metalized. Looking sideways at an angle you can also check the groundglass. Swing it in and out.
  11. On its way back from Bernie I suppose. Just use it for while and see how things work out. It would ridiculous to send it for two maintenance jobs and not use it in between.
  12. It is possible to switch on the lightmeter throught the DIN connection at the rear of camera.
  13. That was very wise :) I would almost assume the Bernie in USA job was cleared against what otherwise would soley be spent on shipping in and out to Reindeerland :)
  14. It is just from ancient marketing. Kodak came to using X as a strong sounding term for an enhanced basic BW film. Later they came up with: XX Double-X Plus-X Tri-X 4X Where it mostly relates to ASA rating being multiple X
  15. And don't forget to take the left screw out just beneath the viewfinder. And not the right-side one)
  16. That is saying goodbye to really short focal length lenses which you need on Super-8. Is there any suitable 10mm (1.5xtele) for these bayonets? Let alone 6mm (standard like) or wide-angles? People need short focal lengths. Don't bother with long lenses, barely anyone uses Super-8 for wildlife registration :)
  17. If you adapt the lens to the new camera it will no longer aline properly with the old one :( $50 for a ZM4 is a steal. It is of course the most recent 4008. Are all leatherettes present? If the battery works with the ZM then it should be good with ZM4 too.
  18. Being not the only one would give you some support? As with other suggestions from you they are plain bad advice and dangerous to other people's gear and media.
  19. Until the tape gets dented in and the gear starts to grind off the glue. DON'T even consider doing this.
  20. Indeed, Kodak will not win a design award for these cameras :)
  21. That works too :) When feeling lucky you could attempt to find a Beaulieu 4/5008 with a big Angénieux. All these lenses are 30 years old though. One would hope that there was still a slight improvement in design or manufacturing. Get a Ultra Wide Lens to fit the Variogons. That allows for a bit more angle.
  22. Kodak had better made a deal with Schneider to have them manufacturer a new/modern batch of their 6-70 Variogon (or what is current) in a clean C-mount configuration. Who wants those Mickey Mouse (sorry MIckey) surveillance lenses for feature filming and such?
  23. I am glad too that Kodak takes on this challange. However, I wonder how many actually edit and project their ciné The same for 135 or 120 stills. Or is all because of the color representation and ambience of that? Somebody ought to work out a processing scheme for RAW images to get to Ektachrome look as close as possible. Nobody asks about originals :)
  24. Thicknesses from Kodak datasheets. 135 160NC 0.13 mm (0.005 inch) acetate 120 160NC 0.10 mm (0.004 inch) acetate Sheetfilm would 0.18mm Some special films could be as thin as: Kodak High Definition aerial Film, 3414 on an Estar ultra-thin base, (1.5 mil = 0.0375 mm Or Kodak SO-208 so-1.2 mil = 0,03048mm To get more on a spool in a reconnaisance aircraftcamera or even in Keyhole spy satellites
