Hi everyone, I am new to the Super-8 community, and relatively to film in general. I recently bought myself a bargain camera off a European Super-8 camera shop. It is a Nizo 481 macro. The reason it was bargain camera is the fact that it has a dent on the focal ring, however that's not my issue. I fear it may have greater issues. I loaded the camera with batteries, as well as the light meter. I used 1.5v 625a batteries for the meter. Everything seems to run fine, except it doesn't seem to be reading light, however. Whenever I look through the viewfinder the F-stop scale doesn't have any type of needle on it, even when adjusting the aperture with the manual knob. I've read up on this camera and everything seems to indicate I should be getting some type needle in the aperture display in the viewfinder. Any advice on this issue? Are the batteries causing the meter to not work? Shouldn't I be able to see a needle regardless once in manual mode? Thanks in advance.

Yeah I understand technically speaking no. I'm pretty sure I can download a trial version from the website and I'll give it a shot. I feel like it should run. Unfortunately I don't have the money to put out for a Quadro or I would. Does anyone know if Premier or another editing software would run on my GTX? The only reason I asked for Avid is because that's what I'm familiar with.

Media Composer 5.

I have a Geforce GTX 465 Video card with 1 gig of built in RAM, as well as 8 gigs of RAM and an Intel i5 Quad Core. Do you think Avid will be able to run on my PC?

Alright I'm sending the footage in and I'll just have it processed normally. Thanks so much for your advice.

Do you think I should push it one stop in development to be safe?

Hey guys first time post so please go easy! :) I am shooting a movie on 16mm with a Bolex for my mid-level production class. I am using Kodak 7266 Tri-X Reversal Film. I forgot to change the ASA reading to 160 for my indoor shoot today, and still had it set to 200(which is what it should be set for outdoor shooting.) How will this effect how my footage will come out? Will it be salvageable? I'm worried because I'm only alloted 10 rolls to work with and if I have to re-shoot the entire indoor sequence I could be screwed. Any help would be appreciated.
