I'm considering purchasing a 16mm camera, and I'm at crossroads of choosing between using R16, U16, and S16.
I've read that converting a R16 to Ultra16 is around $200-300. But what about film transfer/telecine for Ultra16?
I'm wondering this because if some production houses give very generous student discounts to telecine 16mm/S16 film, then maybe the initial savings of U16 don't outweigh the total costs of S16 due to its ubiquity?
