    Hello All, I wonder if anyone can tell me if it's easy to fix the footage counter on a regular Arri SR-2 magazine. This is the small rotary counter on the take up side ( ...not the feed side / arm roller gauge ). I'm guessing there's a belt between it and the plastic mag-to-camera drive gear. Any advice would be most welcome. Many thanks, John S :(

    ....yes you can Aapo, and I have done so many times. There's nothing to stop you using daylight spools on the take up side as long as the tension roller arm is locked out of the way. ( SR magazines will also take 200 ft daylight reels ). John S ^_^

    Julien, Have you seen this 'notch guide' ?... http://peaceman.de.www127.your-server.de/schmalfilm/super8/S8_Notch_Tools_v1.0.pdf John S :)

    ....forget Rocky Mountain Film Lab, try using 'Film Rescue International' .... https://www.filmrescue.com/ So much better and run by very helpful folk ! John S :rolleyes:

    I suppose this particular camera could have been used in a duplicating or printing set up using line-in audio ( with ambient noise not being a problem ). I wonder if our friend Simon Wyss knows something about this unique camera ? John S <_<

    I can't imagine 'TGON' was shot on older CinemaScope lenses ( with mumps ). I'm sure it would have been Panavision cameras and lenses. George's TV display settings must be wrong ! John S :rolleyes:

    I just magnified the pictures, and it looks to me the pitch is different. The Arii gear looks courser ! John S :o

    ....that's a good price for such a rare and 'specialist' magazine, but I certainly wouldn't want to run spliced raw stock through a camera. Spliced film going through a processor would come apart and be disastrous. You'd have to tell the lab it's spliced, and then you'd lose some heads and tails anyway. John S

    does anyone make 16mm rolls longer than 400ft nowadays ? John S :o

    Roger, Join the 'Small Format Forum' and get in touch with its moderator Kevin Faulkner. He's truly an expert on all things 8mm Elmo - particularly the GS1200's forum link..... http://www.mrelmo.co.uk/smallformat/index.php?sid=fb59ccb0293fd5f4d74f8cccbc7570f8 Best wishes, John S :rolleyes:

    'Schindler's list' 'The Elephant Man' 'Psycho' 'Touch of Evil' just to name 4 ! John S :rolleyes:

    The pins do look at bit early. Can't you adjust the timing by loosening the mirror shutter and turning it anticlockwise a little ? You could test it by shooting white dots on a black background on a short length of B&W 'stills' film and examining that. John S :rolleyes:

    Does anybody know of any comprehensive lists of Eyemo 35mm cameras ( technical as well as their history ) ...... online or any books for example. Apparently there's around 35 variants ! Many thanks, John S :huh:

    David, you're a diamond ! I wondered what the hell was going on when watching movies round a couple of friend's houses. I couldn't figure out how conventional movies looked like video to me and just hated the way it spoilt the experience. Here's a link to explain all.... http://hometheaterreview.com/what-is-soap-opera-effect-and-how-to-make-it-go-away/ Thanks again, John S :rolleyes:
  16. John Salim
    ....found one now - thanks for looking. :) John S

    Hi all, Anybody with a Bell & Howell 'Eyemo' 35mm camera for sale, please get in touch. Many thanks, John S :)

    Hi all, I'm looking for two lenses with focussing mount adapters for a 'Vinten K' ( Normandy ) 35mm camera pictured below. 1, Cooke Speed Panchro F 35mm f.2 2, Cooke Speed Panchro F 50mm f.2 ( both lenses have a black finish ) Many thanks, John S
  19. John Salim
    That's very interesting Dom, thanks for sharing ! :) John S
  20. John Salim
    Nice one Dom :) What model is your Vinten camera ? Being a single lens mount, would it be younger than the 'K' ? ( which was 1938-48 ). John S
  21. John Salim
    Thanks Dom, Any information would be welcome. My guess is they used their own screw size. I might just contact Cooke Lenses to see if they know. Thanks again, John S
  22. John Salim
    Does anybody know what type of lens mount the Vinten K 35mm camera uses ? It's turret is usually fitted with three prime lenses ( Cooke and Dallmeyer ). Any info would be appreciated. Many thanks, John S ;)

    Where can you buy Super 8 Provia film David ? 'Pro-8' were suppose to start producing it ( ....there's no mention of it on their website, but please correct me ), and personally I can't see Ferrania producing film for at least a year. John S :(

    I agree with Mark, there's no natural colour bias with 100D, but as it's a 'vivid saturation' *film, some stronger colours will pop out and may give an impression of some bias. John S :rolleyes: * Ektachrome 100D is actually the same emulsion as 'stills' Ektachrome 100VS.
  25. John Salim
    Expose this stock at 100 ISO. If it's been cold stored, it should still be fine - maybe a slight magenta bias perhaps. If it were colour negative, then a little over-exposure wouldn't do any harm, but not with colour reversal ! I could be wrong, but I'm pretty sure Ektachrome 100D wasn't around in 2001..... maybe someone can correct me. When processed the edge printing will reveal the date of manufacture. Cheers, John S
