hi simon, how can i remove the finder cover? hope you can be clear on that. cause i dont want to ruin anything. is this the four screws you've talked about. there are 5 screws .

i've also seen 4 screws on top of the viewfinder.

when i look through the viewfinder the image seems to be not fitted into its supposed frame slightly. in fact it looks like it's spun clockwise round its axis of rotation to a small degree. is this a common problem?

It's a bolex SBM standard. got it from ebay.

regular 16mm. so the negative cutter is the person that does the effects? I'm not shooting 16mm for at least several months. just curious how it works. i grew up digitally. no one my age knows anything about film and the film schools don't really care. i think if i was to do it i'd create credits/titles digitally and the record to film.

I have a EF-S lens( that comes with my Canon 600D) and a Bolex SBM( bayonet mount). Lenses are just to expensive so I wonder is it possible for me to buy C adapter for the bolex + "C to EFS adapter"(http://www.ebay.com/itm/321292437097?_trksid=p2055119.m1438.l2649&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT).

basically 2 adapters at the same time. 'cause i couldn't find a straight adapter from bayonet to EF-S. Has anybody done this before?

thanks.

Could be a simple question but i've had no experience working with film. my next project will be shot on 16mm film so i've been curious how simple effects are done on those films ( cut to black, fade in/out, the credits). Are they entirely done by the negative cutting guy? (using optical printer?). How do filmmakers in the past achieve the credits when there's no video technology? And what is best and cheap way to achieve those now if you want to finish the movie on celluloid ( for me, if the film was shot on film, it has to be finished on film. Other digital version is simply the transformation of the original work). I also know about film recording but that might be expensive.

I'm a young filmmaker in Vietnam who has no experience with film but i've always had a hankering for shooting analog. I've found out that there's no 16mm/35mm film lab in my country. I've intended to shoot my next project with krasnogorsk-3( that i'll buy on ebay) and super 16mm stock which i'll have to order online.

The problem is film processing and scanning. Is sending the film out to a lab in a foreign country( us, uk ect) a good idea? and if it is. Can someone recommend a good lab?

My hope is that some experts on this forum will suggest a potential solution. Analog filmmaking in Vietnam is despairingly expressionless and my fear is it will continue to stay that way.
