    did you try removing/unscrewing the rear cone on the lens?

    Seeking a Zeiss IMS Set or PL mount for LWZ.2 or CP.2. Please message if you have one, thanks

    Looks much more reasonable than the 16! What camera?

    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.
  5. 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?

    I've always found this a good reference for sharpness + contrast with super speeds...wide open or looking into extremely contrasty situations you might consider them to have a very vintage look, but I tend to be surprised by how they well they can sharpen up.

    Purchased a film camera movement from them last year. They were great people to deal with. Prepare for some import duties to be paid to the shipper, that was the only thing that I didn't prepare for and it added up!

    Thanks so much for the thorough reply Dom. Your numbers are very helpful to get a ballpark sense. I'll be bringing the camera into a house to get a true depth calc. I'm curious to see how the results compare, luckily both lenses were very recently collimated BUT, I realized that I actually rounded a little on the 18mm measurement which should put it close to the .20mm mark that you mention. here is the special little camera, I'd been wanting to do this for years but only recently figured out it was possible.

    hey having a related issue, anyone have some math advice? Original thread here
  20. Matt Figler
    Hello, I have a special little S16mm PL mount camera and I need to adjust the FFD. The FFD is a little too long not allowing me to hit infinity nor have my marks line up on wider lenses. I will need to either replace the mount or machine some metal off to make it work properly. I'm trying to calculate how much I would need to reduce the mount by to have it properly spec'd. Can anyone help me with the math required to determine the difference in FFD? I pointed the camera at a focus chart and have noted the discrepancies below. Thanks! 12mm Zeiss lens T1.3 Lens barrel marking sharp at 18 inches Actual tape-measured distance 13 inches Difference 5 inches 18mm Zeiss T1.3 Lens barrel marking sharp at 18inches Actual tape-measured distance 15inches Difference 3 inches

    Sorry for re-directing this thread Rich. If anyone else needs a comparable Arri Bayonet/standard to PL Adapter get in touch -- For sale @$300 USD + ship. Will throw in a pl mount rear cap for free also.

    Was lucky enough to have Mo as an Adjunct Professor for a semester of what was called advanced lighting workshop when I was in Film School. Of ALL the classes I ever took his was the most hands-on, practical and inspiring. Mo is the real deal one of the most renound clt/gaffers around, great story teller and amazing communicator. Everyone in the class wanted to be a gaffer after that semester. I imagine this class has some overlap, truly hope you enjoy it and pick this man's brain.

    Super 16

    It's hard to say as this was the only combo I've used it with on s16mm. It's a funky lens for sure and something that would allow focus closer than 4-5 feet would be nicer, diopter are a must from my limited experience. Much has been written on this lens and its also limited to lenses with 77/72mm front I believe.
