    Looks much more reasonable than the 16! What camera?
  6. Matt Figler
    You are totally right, I just re-examined some E100 still film & some s16mm Ektachrome I shot. I support that notion of a 'marginal' over exposure, my errors with Ektachrome were treating it with a blanket 1+ stop over exposure like a negative film.
  7. Matt Figler
    Reversal stocks have a much less highlight latitude, I would recommend the opposite. Ektachrome would prefer a slight underexposure / or as close as possible to what you want it to look like. You can pull out quite a bit of shadow detail, once the highlights are gone they are gone with Ekta.

    As has been previously mentioned, modern 2perf Arri Gate is actually 2.66 aka full aperture width.

    It flickering a little bit, as it's an inconsistent spring wound camera

    You would likely need to double your $

    TBH don't do this. 100ft is short enough, you will drive yourself mad trying to download & reload the K3. Either short end the film or roll out on the daylight spool. Another option if you are just trying to maximize your time in different shooting environments is to have two camera bodies so while one is reloaded you have another ready to go OR another loaded with a different stock.

    Personally have so much love the K3 for what it is. It will never be a quiet sync sound camera but you can do so much with it that is simply not possible with a full size camera (XTR, 416, SR) Max's mod does sorta fill a need for many film shooters who want something that is a little more featured, accessible, 100ft loads & can carry in a small bag. I would probably even consider a 'well serviced' K3 for a c camera on anything feature, commercial etc. Here's a handful of projects that I've employed various K3's on.

    Have had the exact same experience over time with my K3. For the first few years it sat nice and flat, but the spring & pressure plate is not very robust & overtime can weaken. I've also noticed the pressure plate is quite flexible material so it too can sometimes be ever so slightly bent out of shape & not hold the film flat enough. There are a few small screws that hold the spring tension of the pressure plate -- You can see this issue pop up in this recent video, where the film is flat on the sides but out of focus in the middle. Who has a good recommendation for someone who can tune up these cameras, check FFD + pressure plate?
