  1. topic says it all, really. where is the best place to buy 35mm shortends in the UK? I will try the labs of course, but I thought I would ask incase there are places like Reel Good Film in LA that do exclusive deals on shortends
  2. What is it with this guy? What a moron
  3. hi there, So after working on a 35mm music video (with my background mainly being working with digital) I had that 'I should get my own super8 camera to experiment with film' feeling, but then let it slide. Two years later and I finally get around to it. I purchased my own Canon 1014xls a couple of weeks ago and after a test on Ektachrome 64t everything seems to be in working order. I will be shooting on some v2 200t(day) and v3 500t (night) stock next week for a road trip down to London and some night shooting too when im down there. Before my purchase I read through about 20 pages of these forums along with a couple of weeks research on all the best super8 websites, but not being fully familiar with the camera or with this stock just yet, I was wondering if those of you with experience would be able to give me some hints and tips for shooting on the fly - whether to shoot on auto exposure for ease or to take your time with shots and shoot on manual; whether to use an external light meter as opposed to the one built-in; whether to shoot on infinity focus; whether to use an external 85 filter; whether I need to store the stock in a mini-fridge or just make sure I dont leave them in the sun; whether I have to take 100 AA batteries with me, or just 20. I found that upon reading through these forums people seemed to disagree with each other on a number of these points. I would be interested to hear what you have to say. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Cheers Rory
