Hey, thanks for the reply! I only knew Came-tv for their tripods, I didn't know they also do lights. I checked out the Came-tv light and it seems like a good light but I really don't have need for DMX control or wifi at the moment. I guess I kind of ended up answering my own question. I'm going to get a few Godox LED lights and some budget C-stands. For $1k I can swing 3 lights, stands, diffusion and carrying case. I've used tungsten a lot in the past, while I was originally going to go with tungsten, the fact that LEDs don't run hot, don't need bulb replacement and can be run off a battery just seems like the best solution for me. Especially in weddings, it's nice if I can give the bride and groom some accent lighting without making them sweat through their clothes ?

Do you have them listed online like craigslist/ebay?

Hello, I own a startup videography company and want to purchase some budget friendly lighting for interior shoots and photography. I am shooting on film and with a Sony F3, and my budget for lights is $1,000 with ideally room to upgrade later on. I am looking for at least a 3-light setup. In the past I've used everything from rented Arri and Mole-richardson tungsten lights to shop lights and clamp lights I got from the trash/home depot. I want to now purchase some video lights that are easier to work with than home depot 500w floods. I know for $1,000 I cannot expect the best quality, but I was considering purchasing either some of the Chinese Arri tungsten fresnel copies or some of the 60-80w LED lights that can be bought on Amazon. I was leaning towards buying 6-8 LEDs because they're easier to work with, easier to replace and I can always clamp 2 or 3 together if I want a stronger source. Just looking for some advice if anyone seasoned with videography experience knows a better option.

The center contact is 4.8v and the side contact is 2.4v, correct. I haven't used this camera in about a year since I have upgraded, however I did manage to obtain the dummy adapter for it, and there are two hot wires going to the center contact, each providing 2.4v, one hot wire going to the side contact which is 2.4v, and one ground wire which might go to the side of the battery compartment, not 100% sure. If you're building a pack from scratch, the later version of the 2008 or 4008 might be a bit easier because they have 3 larger contacts in the center that you can attach alligator clips to, one is 4.8, one is 2.4 and one is ground. A voltmeter is incredibly useful in these situations to double-check which is which. There is also this https://www.ebay.com/itm/Beaulieu-4008-Replacement-Battery-Pack-Kit-with-Charger-Model-Mk-II-/263159382092?_trksid=p2385738.m2548.l4275

Hello, when I find myself having to repeat myself over and over because people do not read my post I get tired of being civil. Once again I am having to repeat myself because my initial post was NOT vague. If you thought it was vague, then you don't know what Custom Upholstery Products is, yet you feel the need to respond to me despite the fact that you can offer me no help. Wow...just wow. So let me get this straight, I post a question asking for help, you're first response is "I don't know", then you assume I'm stupid and link me to a forum I've already read, and now you're calling me stupid and lazy because you managed to google "Custom Upholstery Products", and me taking up space on this forum, posting my original question just bothers you so much. YOU are the one who insists on responding to me when you don't know anything yourself, go pick a fight with someone else. Next time you post on one of my threads I'm reporting you. Can an admin please delete this thread?

Lol good reading comprehension skills, you didn't actually read my posts. I'll iterate again, If you didn't know what I was talking about from the title, I don't need your response. You clearly have not done business with them or don't know of them. Why would you link me a forum thread after I typed "I'm not asking for someone to do research for me, they've been mentioned a lot on this forum in the past"? Are you even aware that that thread is from six years ago? Again, my original post: "can't find anything from them in the last few years." I'm really not responsible for your stupidity, so **(obscenity removed)** off and learn to read.

I'm not asking for someone to do research for me, they've been mentioned a lot on this forum in the past and I was hoping to get a response from someone who has done business with them or knows of them already. Seriously...why even respond if you don't know what I'm asking about?

Does this place still exist? Their website is down and can't find anything from them in the last few years.

Hi, if you're interested please take a look at the actual listing, because I post both in the listing and on my post here that I removed the loop formers, there's also a picture on the listing of the inside of the camera w/o loop formers. I have no idea what year it was made in, it is one with Russian lettering on it as opposed to the ones with English so chances are it is an earlier model that dates from the 70s or mid 80s. Shipping to Austria would be $100. There are a hundred other K-3s on Ebay that are shipped from Europe, chances are you could find one in which the shipping to you would be a lot less.

Hello, I am selling one of my K-3's that I have used throughout school because I no longer need it. I installed a re-centered lens mount and wider gate so it can be used to shoot Super16, removed the loop formers, and it was also serviced and had the exterior redone last year by a camera tech. Here is the listing on Ebay, starting price is $200. http://www.ebay.com/itm/-/282281068444?ssPageName=STRK:MEBIDX:IT I'd be happy to provide video of film running through the camera or some stills from a couple of the projects I used it on if you'd like.

Hey, thanks for the reply. You're right, I kind of figured that would be best so I am bringing in the lens to the service techs tomorrow. I did also notice the aperture ring has a too much play in it so I will ask them about that also.

Thanks, I didn't know there was a tool specifically for that. There really is a tool for everything. I guess that's why I like to post questions on this forum.

The slot is definitely the same one that fits onto the push-tab on the camera. I tried a 1.5mm screwdriver and a thin strip of metal but I couldn't get the what I thought was the locking pin to push down. I think this is something the guys at DuAll will be able to do, I just hope they aren't going to charge me an arm and a leg.

Hello, thanks for replying. I think you are right, that it is for a prado microscope as opposed to a projector, however it is set in a black ring that attaches to the adapter and there aren't any release pins.

Hello, I have a Leica m-mount lens that I bought as part of some kind of attachment for a projector or enlarger. I don't know how to remove the lens from the adapter it's attached to, there doesn't seem to be a release button. Here are some pictures, can anyone help me?

Hello, I have an M mount 10mm Cinegon lens I bought off Ebay that's been attached to some kind of leica adapter for a projector (?). I don't know how to remove it, there doesn't seem to be a release button. Anyone got any ideas?

Awesome, thanks guys.

Hello, I am investing in some camera equipment that I will be trying to rent out in addition to using myself. I was planning on doing all the advertising myself, but has anyone ever heard of having a rental house rent out your equipment for you and let them take a percentage? I'm talking about guys that I trust and that I've worked with before. They don't have what I'm offering, but I don't have the contacts or the publicity that they have.

Hello, I would like to use a similar lipstick camera on my Kinor 2M. How did you attach it to the viewfinder?

I guess I have a lot more options than I originally thought, thanks :)

Hello, I am in charge of shooting a seance scene with 16mm film. I would like to shoot some effects shots, including one in which I will be experimenting with colored flourescent dyes in water to make something that looks like a ghost's vapor trail. The medium is going to be standing on a platform surrounded by 4 pillars the "ghost vapors" will fly around and he will be making gestures but not moving. Can anyone tell me the advantages/disadvantages of shooting on a black background vs a blue or green background? I read supposedly that blue works best with color film. Alternatively, can anyone recommend a book that explains shooting effects on film? I've had a hard time finding information on the internet. Thanks.

Thanks.

Hi, I was hoping to experiment with this on a smaller sensor camera. I know there are a lot of ways to get shallow DOF without using an adapter so just want to know If I'm probably wasting my money.

I'd like to get one of these, I understand the basic concept but there are a couple of things I am uncertain about. I understand that I will have to zoom in on my primary lens to see the focusing screen, and then I will be attaching a secondary lens to the other end. If I attach a 24mm secondary lens will I be able to get a wide angle of view or is the focal length effected by how far I have to zoom in on the primary lens? Will I get vignetting if my primary lens is 72mm and then I step it down to 55mm to fit the adapter or does zooming in with the primary lens make that not matter?

I have a Nizo UWL III and it's been working fine for me so far, but I want to buy a glass replacement with the same filter thread 67mm. I'm just curious if anyone has experience with the Vivitar HD3-43 series or other ones ~$60 and how they compare with a $20 one. Also, why the heck do the Nizo UWL attachments still sell for $50-150 when they're plastic? Are they Collectable?
