Thanks Adrian, Heikki and Will! And just to make sure I understand, by edit, would that include the ability to, as an example, take a 15 second segment and move it within the overall film itself? Thanks!

All right, I lied....now I have another question. You get your film processed and have the T/C (to hard drive) completed and back in your possession You can then add v/o and/or music as you can edit this (hard drive) format, correct?

Great. Thanks. Final question for today. Would a lab also be able to assist with voice over / background music at the time they perform the telecine process?

David and Adrian, Thanks so much for your input. Great stuff. Another couple of elementary question that you'll probably chuckle at and/or shake your head..... 1) I'll be running 100' rolls of film thru the Bolex. Based on the normal wind duration of around 30 seconds and assuming I'm filming at 24 fps, a person could run thru the film in as quickly as 6 "cycles", for lack of a better phrase. That much I think is correct. My question is, if you film a minute of so and then don't plan on filming anything else for a couple of days...is there a problem with that? In other words, are you best served to plan on using the entire 100' during one filming session? 2) I've completed filming, let's say 5-6 rolls of film, and I send them off to Cinelab for processing. Cinelab then sends the processed film back to me. My question is regarding the telecine process. Specifically, Cinelab, or any other processor, would or would not perform filming editing services for a neophyte like myself prior to transferring to a DVD? thanks so much. Scott

Heikki, I am in the States (Kansas City), so thanks for that information. I do not know the last time the camera was serviced. I do know it's been in the original box for at least a couple of decades, so there's not too many miles on it :) . I do realize I'm in over my head based on the make up of this forum (film professionals, etc), so I really appreciate the input from everyone. Scott

Hello, New to both the forum as well as the 16mm film process itself. I look forward to learning a great deal from both the existing topics as well as thru my questions to you. Film stock and processing Where do purchase the majority of your 16mm film stock (online)? Where do you have your processing work done? Just as an fyi, I recently inhereited my grandfathers Bolex H16 Reflex
