BANNED Patrick Tong

Hello all,

 

I just wanted to alert everyone to a scam that is happening on Ebay.

 

Tim Carroll first noticed it in this post.

 

Some scammers "steal" the photos and descriptions from legitimate auctions. When the legit auctions end, then they recreate the auction using the photos and description from the original (legit) listing.

 

This just happened to me. I just finished selling an Eclair ACL last Saturday: see here. Now, today, just a few hours ago, some idiot put up this auction here. If anyone bids (doubtful, considering the zero feedback) and send money to this scamster they are not getting that camera, that's for sure, cause it's still sitting in my apartment...

 

That person is such an idiot that in the description they even put the link to my website where I had additional photos! I took that page down, of course...

 

As soon as I saw it I remembered Tim's post about that other camera, and I realized that it can't be a coincidence!

Noted...Thanks Mitsos :) :)

Cool! Where did you find the mounting bracket and the adapter connector plug? Did you trash a whole video camera to take the viewfinder and the parts?

Hi Michael Maier

You right...the viewfinder and the mounting bracket is come from my broken video camera... :P :P

The plug, i have purchase from the local market..only HKD30.00 dollar

i dont understand why one would prefer the video assist signal in the viewfinder, since it's surely less resolution than the 16mm material.

which makes jugding the actual sharpness as projected to the film impossible.

Hi haspel

In some situations...Rotatable Viewfinder is very useful in handleing and focusing...especially shooting low-angle shot and high-angle shot..

DIY A METALLIC ADAPTOR BETWEEN FILM BODY AND SONY VIEWFINDER.

VIEWFINDER MODEL# SONY DXF-501

:D :D

:D :D

Sorry.....What is the meaning of "bleach bypass"?

Thanks :P :P

Hi All,

 

What are your thoughts on bleach bypass with 16mm (or Super 16) ? Is it considered a no no due to the smaller frame size?

 

Thanks,

Stu
