Thanks Perry! Way, way out of my range. I never knew about them. Apparently, there is a decent market for used Lipsner-Smith machines. Lipsner-Smith film cleaner for sale | eBay What do you use for cleaning Perry?

Are you an import from Ireland Robert? Or do people call the bars, pubs in your local? Why do you have 2 of them? As backups or set up for different jobs? If you do lots of 8 and 16 work, I could see if you had 2 dedicated machines. With all those scanners out there, is it affecting your biz? I saw a scan company in TX that said they were closing up shop and selling things off, including their Lasergraphics scanner due to lack of biz.

Sure, selling scans by the foot is a great gig if you get the work. But I don't know if the market is getting flooded with scan studios thinking it is a money printing machine. I think archival work is a limited field. I mean the business model is all about old films that are not being produced any longer. I don't know how the market is for current 16mm production. Tyler is the person to ask about that. Me... If I had the $, I set up a shop with a couple of Scan Stations or Directors and offer it for use to indie filmmakers to use for free. But, most would not know how to use it, so I'd probably get stuck doing the scans, which I would not like doing. So that would be a problem with that idea. But everything always revolves around $. $ is stored energy. I would advertise on some film forums I'd do 16mm scans for free of archival material. I'd get a few broke filmmakers write me to ask for free scans of their film. I'd tell them I'm only interested in archival material. And the Retroscan would not be good for their project anyway.

Thanks Dan, but still not many used scanners around. Wow, lots of taxes with auctions and the UK. 20% buyer's premium for auction and that GST tax. (Looks like it varies in %) Scanner looked very clean.

Cinetech BSF HYDRA film cleaner...anyone ever use it? How much is it. Film Preparation — Galileo Digital The rollers in the center group remind me of paint rollers. As I investigated further the website lists them as...'soft nap Dacron buffers that can be adjusted to apply cleaning pressure to each side of the film independently.'

Thanks, didn't know that.

OK, thanks for the replies. I'm mainly on the still end and that is why I don't see it much.

Dunno, but never thought about Nikon when it comes to cine.' Seems an odd mix.

Well, too late to change the title. This was an ad in an amateur publication. So, it was directed towards amateurs as well as professionals. Do you have any literature from Auricon, Simon? If so, scan it and upload to the I.A.

Do archives use the Lasergraphics Director or is it overkill for 8mm and 16mm film?

I thought it had flopped like decades ago. Or is it making a revival?

Well, I was way off with my predictions of being finished with The Facebook Marketplace Prom Queen project at 2,213 images. I closed up the project a few months ago with 19, 914 images. This gal was hopefully the end of the project...I've avoided the Facebook women for months now! Here is the collection: https://archive.org/search?query=prom+teoli I used to donate lots of archival material to FIT special collections in NYC. But it got to be too much for them and they didn't want any more. So, I expanded my fashion collection to be my own FIT. <><><><> Daniel D. Teoli Jr. Archival Collection Daniel D.

Thanks, Tyler! Oh, I know film is not dead. Our Walmart has a handful or two of boxes of film on the shelves. That is pretty impressive about the movies shot on film. We need to get charts showing film production and not sales. Charts that just show the dollar sales are not comparable to charts from back in the day when film was a lot cheaper. It would be good to see charts of film being sold in feet or rolls produced then vs now. <><><><> 'Cornered' 1973 Hollywood, CA Selection from 'Peering into the World of 1970's Hollywood & L.A.' 2012 by D.D.Teoli Jr.

I was going to put this in the Off Topic section, since it is historical in nature. But looks like that section is shut down as I can't access or view it any longer. So, this section looks like the most apropos section to put it in. This may have some interest for the cinematographer that is trying to recreate an old look for titles/ intertitles for a project. Back in the day, magazines dedicated to the home movie market, would have a page or two of premade titles in each issue for them to use in their movies. The person would set up a copy stand with close up lens diopter and shoot the premade titles / intertitles for their film. Sometimes the titles would be generic. Other times they would be for a suggested project. These are from 1940. I've got about 2 feet of 'Home Movies,' 'Cine' Photographer' & 'Movie Maker' magazines from the 1930's-1940's to scan. I will eventually upload them to the Internet Archive. Lots of interesting film history in them. <><><><> Daniel D. Teoli Jr. Archival Collection Daniel D.

Post some samples of before and after of your Resolve work. When shooting on the fly it is not always doable to get it right in-camera. A good documentary cameraman makes do and brings home the goods best they can. So, post work is very important to make up for shortcomings. Selection from 'Whoop-Whoop' project 2014 Photo D.D.Teoli Jr. This photo for example took some work...in Lightroom. I don't use Resolve, so don't know if this level of post work is doable. As of now I use Movavi which is basic, but it covers most of my needs as an archivist. Although it is pretty poor for color grading and am dissatisfied with it for grading. Can you dodge and burn a scene with Resolve then carry it over with the computer to make the frames blend? Or does it have to be redone for each frame? In other words, let's say you burn in a lady's purse. Will it find the purse in selected frames and burn it in the same as the first frame? Or does cine' software not do that? If you don't know what burn in means...it means, make it darker in whole or in spots as selected. Or is Resolve even capable of burning in detail?

Lasergraphics has a non-Bayer sensor on their top end Director scanner. The cheaper LG scanners have Bayer sensors. From what I've read about camera sensors, the Bayer option offer a less sharp image. If so, why not drop the Bayer filter from all their scanners to get maximum sharpness? <><><><> Cine'-Kodak ad 1932 DDTJRAC Daniel D. Teoli Jr. Archival Collection Daniel D.

Thanks for the rundown, Tyler. I just look at the charts. I don't study film much. I'm around film all the time...in the Archive. For my own use I'm 100% digital. So, I'm an outsider, Tyler. In the old days, I was 100% film. From the charts, film does not look like a booming business. To me it looks like Kodak is 'just' surviving. Or are the charts misleading, Tyler?

I've only seen 2 used LG's scanners in the last few years. 1 was in L.A., a Scan Station Personal. The other one was their big model, a Gov. surplus buy. With all the scanners they make you'd think more used ones would be available.

Now, getting back to this Retroscan issue with people waiting 12 months and the company seemingly stopping production, per Dan's earlier post. Has anyone ever been burnt buying a film scanner (Non-Retroscan) or have major problems with the company?

OK, agreed, but film is not what it used to be as far as sales. If it was, do you think Fuji would have bowed out? Kodak has gone through so many down cycles it is pitiful. I don't keep up with the day-to-day affairs of Kodak, but the amount of product, chemicals, equipment and media they used to produce was staggering Tyler.

No, nothing like the old Kodak in its heyday. A shadow of its former self Robert. I started using Kodak from the late 1960s. Their graphic arts division is pretty much gone and dye transfer division is extinct, Robert...just to name a few. And their graphic arts division was huge!
