  1. Dwayne's Photo processes 35mm cine film. I've sent them a couple 400's. There was a bit of dust on the finished product. Spectra also processes E-6. You'd have to ask Doug if they do 35mm, though: sales@spectrafilmandvideo.com
  2. Yes, pushing it makes it brighter, pulling it makes it darker. Assuming there weren't any really bright shots on the roll, you should have some headroom to play with - spare latitude. The more you push it, the more grain you get. In my experience, pushing 250D one stop doesn't result in substantial degradation. There are infinite things you could have done in advance. It is no longer in advance.
  3. I'd push it one stop in processing. I've pushed this stock two stops and not been dissatisfied.
  4. My video assist gave up the ghost. Perhaps someone has installed an HD tap and no longer needs their OEM tap? If you have one to sell, please DM me price and other relevant info.
  5. A user asked via DM if I have any sample footage using this stock. I only purchased this one roll, so I don't have any sample films. Feel free to DM me any questions you have.
  6. I'll continue to answer questions from serious potential buyers via DM.
  7. Hi Martin! I sure wish you were still processing Foma. The rolls I sent you turned out great -- better than any other lab I tried.
  8. Thanks for keeping my listing near the top by commenting! I appreciate the extra exposure that every comment generates - even the childish troll comments.
  9. Aapo, the camera is worth what someone is willing to pay for it. Someone who is looking for an SBM is probably not looking for any of the cameras you mentioned. Thanks for your speculation and trivia, it was interesting to read. For calibration purposes, I'll share that the highest offer I have at this point is nearly twice the high end of your appraisal.
  10. As for attributes that potential buyers of the camera being offered may be interested in: * Bolex SBM is particularly useful for situations where batteries are impractical. I bought this camera for a 15 day Grand Canyon raft trip, which I ultimately decided not to film. * Bolex SBM can be used with PL-mount lenses. I prefer Arri Ultra 16 lenses and Les Bosher adapter. * Factory Bolex Super 16 cameras are arguably much less troublesome than converted Bolex cameras. I'm sure we'll hear plenty more from forum regulars who like to offer unsolicited and often irrelevant advice. It's what they do,
  11. Well that's certainly interesting, Aapo. Why don't you start a thread about camera value equivalencies? I'm sure people will find it interesting.
  12. Thanks for bumping my post up. Questions from actual potential buyers will be addressed via direct message..
