  1. I used original wrap bought from B&H. I had kinda ruled out manufacturers defect since it was on both rolls of different stock.
  2. Thanks, I had a hunch it may have been that. I'll just chalk it up to artistic effect
  3. So I shot a roll of Kodak 50D and 200T while on faction in mexico and recently sent the film out for processing and scanning. Yale Film and Video did the the work and called me when they were doing the telecine to ask if I had gotten my film wet since it was showing spots across both rolls. They checked the rolls that were processed before and after me and said the issue wasn't present and it was just my film. According to the lab, the spots were present on the emulsion side of the film if you examine with a loupe. I did not get the film wet so I'm not sure what happened? Screenshots of the issue are below. The spots move around so its not a lens or filter issue. My theories are: humidity? heat while film was in camera and in my backpack in 100 degree mexico melting emulsion? grease from the camera gate? the film got wet while in the mail? condensation after removing film from fridge before loading? Any help would be appreciated -Chris film spot 2.tiff
  4. So I have shot my first test roll of super 8 film. The stock was Kodak TRI X revisal film. For most shots I used the auto exposure, then exposed manually with the goal of slightly over exposing. It seems to have come out well although most of my manually exposed shots seem over exposed. Additionally, some of the auto exposed shots lack detail in the highlights. The manual lists it as being able to read the following speeds and I noticed that they don't really line up with current film stocks. Tungsten: ASAs 25, 40, 64, 100, 160, 250, 400 Daylight: ASAs 16, 25, 40, 64, 100, 160, 200 Do I need to compensate for what the meter is telling me when using an ASA not listed in the manual? My main question is based on the test roll is my meter working properly or not? Link for test roll: Note i did a standard def scan since this was a test roll. On another note: I will be going on a trip to Baja and am planning on shooting super 8 while I am there. The goal is to shoot some surfing along with generally adventuring and sightseeing. Given the bright sunlight should I just go with Kodak 50D film stock or get a mix of 50D and 200T for versatility? Thanks Chris
