Hi Does anyone know where I can find some metric dof tables to print? The calculators are really expensive, are they really worth it? Thanks

Great! I heard that you had to open it up and cut some wires to get rid of the sound. How did you figure it out?

Hi I've heard that many ACs are using the Leica Disto A2 or A3, I have never used one myself but they seem to be very good, but they are of course quite expensive. There are many other meters that are less expensive but the are also less reliable, but i'm sure there are some exeptions.

Hi! I would very much like thet manual, I'll soon work a IIC and have never set my hand on one before. I just need to get some basic operating knowledge, and the manual is impossible to find. Thanks! jens.harvard@gmail.com

does it really matter? just use the most appropriate tape for the surface. Use paper for more fragile surfaces and gaffer on other. use chalk outdoors. I guess both paper and gaffer are standard then :)

How much grain are we talkin', considering the low iso. Now that I know the loss of sensitivity can i underexpose and push three stops, develope it as 500 but exposing it as 250? Can it be done, or does it sound like we'll end up with a meterial thats unusable?

What will the results be using this old stock? How bad will it look? is there anything I can do to compensate the age?

Hi! I'm about to shoot my first 16mm short film, it's a very low-budget film and therefore I have some problems. We are going to use an old Arriflex 16BL with a 10-100 lens. I think it is some kind of standard for this model. We borrowed the camera from a friend In the front of the lens it says that the apertures largest stop is 2.8, but the f-stop ring only goes to 3.3, does anyone know why this is? We've got a hold of some film rolls for free. These rolls are about ten years old, but have been kept in a freezer, how is this going to affect the results. Unfortunally the stock is out of production so I can't get any information about it, but maybe someone knows anything. It's a Fujicolor negative film F-64 8610 Tungsten 16mm 122m. When did it go out of production? And an easy calculation, considering that the aperture only goes to 3.3 and the film iso is 64, says that we need plenty of light. We can only get a hold of a couple of 800w readheads, about 7-12 ones. This wont be enough, we are going to lit some large areas An apartment, a church and an hospital corridor with almost no natural light. My solution is simply to push the film two stops to iso 250. We have done some calculations and that?s what we need, two stops. How is this going to look, will it be very bad, also considering that the film is ten years old. Have anyone done something like this? After developing its going to telecine and later to be released on video. J. Harvard Sweden
