Hey guys,

Was wondering would anyone have any insightful theories as to why glass like an Alura Zoom 18-80mm would not work when shooting super16 film on an Arri SRIII. I know about the effects of the crop factor, but was wondering is there any special coatings on newer "digital" glass that could effect an emulsion in a certain way?

Any thoughts or experience in this area?

Ta,

Aidan

Hey Everyone,

Yea, my baby slate fitted together nicely without adhesives. But was not the case for the medium. I wish it did and mate I wouldn't have te issue! Oh and the sticks, it's just a preference thing because I'm right handed :)

Thanks for the tip Dylan. But alas, after stripping it down, velcro and all. The problem still exists.... Truly is an enigma! Might add something to the sticks, to make it sound better.

You have a good point Stuart. But I always front light my board with my magllite in dark/back-lit environments, it's been working grand so far! Knock wood.

Thought maybe some images of the board might help?

The sticks do have magnets yea P. Thanks for understanding Dylan! When I apply pressure to the slate, and hit the clap, it sounds much better.

Problem is I've already glued them on. So not sure if I can undo that without damaging the board.

I care Stuart! :) I've worked with a good few people who can appreciate a nice sounding clap. Gotta take pride in what you do, even the little things :)

Hey everyone,

I recently purchased a new acrylic slate and also a set of resin sticks from panavision.

The sticks sound amazing and sharp when independent.

But it seems that when I mounted the sticks to the slate, using super glue, the clap has now deteriorated.

It now sounds cheap and plastic, almost maybe a vibration issue?

Any loaders have any insight into this? Any fixes or solutions?

Cheers!
