Here's a short explanation:

Hi!

You can find details like the original price in Canon's online museum:

http://www.canon.com/camera-museum/camera/cine/data/1956-1970/1967_cano8.html?lang=us&categ=crn&page=1956-1970&p=2

IMHO the device isn't rare. And it neither has 24fps, nor 18fps, nor 16fps. And it hasn't got sound. Hence I doubt that you'll get more than 20 or 20US$ for it...

As I can't edit my text: Here's the "corrected" version:

Hi!

Dirk is correct. As it says "VEB Filmfabrik Agfa Wolfen", it has most likely been made between 1954 and 1964. According to this source the film used to have 120 ASA. However I would assume that the film as lost 1 f-stop per decade...

Finding any data on this film is a royal PITA - especially as the corresponding DIN-norms and ASA-norms got changed in 1960/1961. So the "120 ASA" could be "old ASA" and would be equivalent to "240 ASA" as used today...

(It looks like the "ultra rapid" was replaced by the "Orwo NP 7" with 27 DIN/400 ASA in approx. 1966.)

According to this source the film used to have 120 ASA (which is most likely incorrect as I wouldn't expect Agfa using such a non-standard value. 22 DIN/125ASA or 21 DIN/100ASA is more likely). However I would assume that the film as lost 1 f-stop per decade...

Thanks for sharing!

Aaahhh! They're using "Adobe Photoshop CS6 (Macintosh)"...

I have heard that it is still possible to get KODACHROME 40 super8 colour films processed but only to Black & White..

can anybody confirm this?

 

please :-/

Yes, you can get it processed as b&w negative and as b&w reversal. However the prices for this special processing are so high that it doesn't make sense.

(And you'll also have to keep in mind that you can't expose the film at 40ASA anymore...)

Maybe it's only a dummy used as a prop in some movie?

In any case it's broken as the lens hangs down...

Your camera has got at least two mirrors: a semi-transparent one that sits between lens and film and that "splits" the light so that it goes onto the film and into the viewfinder. And then there's another mirror that redirects the light by 90 degrees so that the viewfinder can be placed at the camera's rear.

I fear that one of these mirrors isn't at the correct position any more.

Of course the light's path to the viewfinder could have "collapsed".

It also sounds that your camera has got a shutter to close the viewfinder (to prevent light falling through the viewfinder onto the film in case you're not looking through the viewfinder while the camera is running). Maybe that shutter is broken and stuck at the "closed" position?

Great samples! I thought that the 500T would have more grain...

Thanks for sharing!

Why would you want to put a c mount lens on a leicina special when leica lens even for the leicina are way better than the best of c mounts len"s?

Because:

a) the two lenses for the Leicina have in fact been made by Schneider-Kreuznach and have been available in both M-mount and C-mount.

b) I do have at least 5 nice C-mount-lenses (for my Fujica ZC1000). Unfortunately the M-mount-lens that came with my Leicina has got some "issues". And as the "original" Leicina-lenses normally sell for 300EUR and more on eBay, getting an adapter sounds feasible. (Especially as it would prevent me from hoarding even more lenses. Not to mention that other M-mount-lenses are expensive and can only be used as "tele"-lenses on a Super8-camera.)

I'm aware of this problem. Hence I thought that the adapters might include some optical elements. However it looks like the c to f adapter protrudes into the camera so that the lens will be at the correct distance? I wonder if this will work at all for any camera?

Hi,

is there any way to attach C-Mount-lenses to a Leicina Special (M-Mount)? Most people on some German forums told me that this isn't possible due to the different distances between film plane and lens. However I could get myself a "C-Mount to Nikon F-Mount"-adapter and then I could use a "Nikon F-Mount to Leica-M-Mount"-adapter to mount this on the Leicina?! Or did I miss something important?

Kahl doesn't sell films to amateurs any more and one can only guess which film-stocks have been used. Hence this question can't be answered and is more or less obsolete (unless your a film-student or unless you can order film via a film-related company).

AFAIK there's no Super8-camera that accept D-Mount-lenses. The only Super8-cameras with replaceable lenses use C-Mount, M-Mount or some manufacturers' proprietary mount (e.g. for the Nalcom FTL 1000 Mk II).

If you want to use a D-mount-lens, then you'll have to buy a Double8-camera.

Hi,

I never heard of "Hamshika". Hence I would assume that it was either Yashica or Fujica. As Fuji never produced any Super8-cameras, this would reduce it to "Yashica Super 8".

At least Yashica used women in their ads: http://www.retrothing.com/2012/03/the-image-of-women-in-photo-ads.html?ModPagespeed=noscript

Hi,

when the film stock is acetate-based, then you can only fill 10-12m into a 15m-Single8-cart, depending on the material.

Even though the Agfa 200D is polyester-based, it's only a little bit thinner than acetate-based stocks. Hence several Single8-filmers reported that only approx. 13m fit into a 15m-Single8-cart.

Jörg

Maybe you should state your position on this planet when asking a "where"-question!? (At least assuming that you don't want to travel several thousand kilometres/miles for selling this movie-camera ;))

Jörg, Pan-X is a reversal stock and has been out for well over a year, so I've never thought them related, either.

The new CHS100 II can be used as reversal stock as well as it's on a clear base.

BTW: I never heard of any plans of releasing the CHS100-II as Super8, even though it's mentioned on ADOX' webpage?!

Hi,

fact is that the old CHS100 was produced by Fotokemika in Samobor (Croatia) - see http://www.adox.de/english/ADOX%20Films/Art/Series.html . However ADOX' only Super8-film (ADOX PAN-X Reverso Super8) is rumoured to contain film-stock that was produced by Agfa-Gevaert in Moertsel (Belgium) or by Agfa-Gevaert/Agfaphoto in Leverkusen (Germany)*. So when the rumours are correct, then neither the old CHS100, nor the current CHS100-II are related to the PAN-X.

Jörg

* = Leverkusen would mean that the film was produced before 2004/2005

The "funniest" fact about pre-striped films is that both Kodak and Fuji sold pre-striped film until 2011 or 2012 (end of APS-film-production).

The stock may be available in the US as Agfachrome RSX II 200, or (if they're still even making a consumer version) CTprecisa 200.

Please don't confuse Agfa-Gevaert with AgfaPhoto! These companies only share the "Agfa" in their logo, but that's it since 2004/2005! Since 2004/2005 neither Agfa-Gevaert produces something for AgfaPhoto nor vice versa!

The Agfa Aviphot is made by Agfa-Gevaert, while the 135er-films sold by AgfaPhoto under the old Agfa product-names are currently made by Fuji (colour) and Kentmere (b&w).

Hi,

why don't you check the online-shops that used to have Velvia?!
