  1. So just to recap your claims: - A-Minima spools are free - Re-spooling is dust-free - Re-spooling doesn't cost anything - A-Minima substitute spools are available. All the statements above are false. Keep them coming.
  2. If you like dust, re-spooling is a great way to accomplish that look. If you want film that is factory spooled in a clean room, buy new. Buying new film gets you unused spools which won't leak light, and which can be re-used a few times. Contrary to the overconfident poster above, A-Minima spools are no-longer readily available for free from labs. (And his assertion that people send cameras for repairs with two spools in them is complete nonsense.) If you want factory-spooled film, buy factory-spooled film. If you don't, don't. But please, amuse me. Don't let this discussion end here.
  3. There's nothing to be confused about. I'm selling film spooled by EK, on brand-new spools. If you want to shoot with something inferior, I don't plan to stop you.
  4. $220 + two spools @ $90 each = $400. So EK is cheaper if you don't mind dust from DIY winding. If you want perfectly clean stock spooled by EK, it's $450 for two rolls/400' from me. Quality isn't free.
  5. Oops, thank you. Here is the correct link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iAegCtXHgB8 The coloring is a little off on this film. Sometimes colorist has a great day, other times not so much. I forgot to mention that storage temp has been -10F since I got it.
  6. Lens is not for sale. I should have mentioned that.
  7. I'm not sure fresh is exactly the right term, but this was purchased from Eastman Kodak at the very end of their A-Minima film production. I bought the last ~50 rolls they had. It went straight into my freezer. Whenever I want to shoot a "home movie" - travel, local happenings, etc. - I grab a roll of this, ND filters, and head out. This stuff can handle just about ANY lighting situation. For example, this little home movie had some really challenging lighting, and it came out well. I just wish I had a steadier hand. I actually damaged the tripod head right before getting on the ship, but it wouldn't have helped me on-board anyhow. https://studio.youtube.com/video/iAegCtXHgB8/edit?o=U I'm trying to get down to just one freezer. So I want to sell some, but not all, of my remaining 250D. It's listed on ebay for $250. I'll also sell direct for $225 a roll. Pricing subject to change, of course. I can't edit this message later.
  8. Just to clarify, since this came up in a PM: After I put it back in the box, I never took it out again. I may take it out for some pictures soon. But it has never been used. Good luck finding another unused Bolex S16 camera anywhere.
  9. Deal didn't go down, so I'm re-listing this. You are looking at the best 16mm cine camera ever made. This was owned by a German DP until I bought it from him in 2013. He had it serviced by Arri Munich shortly before I purchased it. It has never been a rental. Here's a film of me picking it up: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NN-yQZ4rIWc Here is some recent footage shot with the camera on a Sachtler Video 12 tripod with a 35 mm Arri Ultra 16. I was shooting with an extended finder. It was a little hard to do >180 degree pan without bumping the camera. I should have used my video monitor instead: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i4TYsVpM0hE&feature=youtu.be I used it for a few projects since 2013, but have probably only shot about 6000' with it. I'm shooting 35mm now and this camera isn't getting much action. Two of the magazines were purchased with the camera. The other three were purchased brand new from Arri - two from Burbank and one from Munich, if I recall correctly. The pictured bridge plate, dovetail plate, accessory plate/shoulder pad are included. Two ground glass are included: the super 16 glass in the camera, and the (new) one in the little black jewel case. One of the OBB-2 was purchased new in 2015 for $700ish. The other two are used. I recelled one myself and the other was recelled by Ritter. They have all been on a steady program of monthly checking. They get charged when they're down around two yellow dots. If you allow them to completely discharge, they become worthless. These are very healthy, happy batteries.
  10. His listings seem to include stock photos. Stock photos don't really give the reader any useful information, do they?
  11. I also have a brand new boxed 235/435 400' mag. It's the regular one, not the shoulder mag.
