Kodak Cinematographer's Field Guide https://photographysgoldenage.wordpress.com/2018/07/27/kodak-cinematographers-field-guide/

Fascinating, it was built like a Swiss watch. I'd like to see the whole film. The Bolex preserved much history in its day... https://photographysgoldenage.wordpress.com/2018/07/13/bolex-1972-16mm-cine-catalog/

Have things gotten any better for you? It is like that in many fields, not just the movies. Too many people...all producing similar product. (Although it dos not seem to help the dental care costs to come down.) It is just how out world has become. People got the internet in their hands and scroll through stuff as fast as possible. In the old days they would gladly look at the same stereo slides or magic lantern slides in the parlor for amusement. Can you imagine the excitement when they got their first radio!

OK, thanks. Too bad they don't make the 16mm plastic leader the same. It is an unbelievable dust magnet. I switched over to Kodak acetate leader. It is a lot more $. About $50 per 1000 feet more than plastic leader.

Compared to old acetate film is the estar film base a static dust magnet? I have only tried white estar or mylar white leader and it picks up dust and dirt like mad. The acetate leader does not. I'm wondering if film is the same or does film have an anti-static coating?

What is killing film is the high film cost, high processing. Then you have to digitize it which is more $$.

Too bad. You obviously put in a lot of work in the book. PDF's would be the answer for preservation.

Here is the backstory on Melvin Sokolsky's iconic bubble girls series... https://danieldteolijrarchivalcollection.wordpress.com/2018/07/13/the-backstory-on-melvin-sokolskys-bubble-girls/

16mm only - must be high quality amateur productions with smooth transitions, good focus and exposure. Nothing beyond late 1960's but prefer earlier. Interesting subject matter, no reelsfull of the baby or kids standing around. No faded red films unless very special subject matter.

You are soaked with soda or pelted with raw wieners, used tampons, empty beer cans, whatever.

Another one from GOTJ Ohio. Interesting people there, but you need a bodyguard or have to enjoy fighting. And at the least your gear gets ruined. You get pelted with all sort of soda and crap. Single image HDR.

Candid @ GOTJ Ohio concert. Shot there for 3 years, just bot a $200 ticket and went in. One year they broke the flash off the camera at the hot shoe. But the writing was on the wall, so decided that being in my mid 60's no use pushing my luck any further.

OP...enjoyed your website. Thanks for keeping film alive.

If you are on that tight a budget, see if you can trade it for a 16. Good luck!

21 and 35...but I'm prone to wides.

I had 2 Wolverines. Both died after short use. The IQ is poor with them. Here is a vintage 8mm scanned on a Wolverine. nsfw Here is a high-res scan of a 8mm student film I made in the 1970's about a transsexual recreating the act she / he did on the carnival girlie shows. Although this film has noise reduction, big difference in IQ from the Wolverine nsfw https://archive.org/details/GoneUpInSmoke ...Epson needs to make decent and affordable 8 and 16mm scanner.

Trouble with Ektacrhome is it will fade. I've got Kodacrhome films from the late 30's and 40's that are fine.

Just lots of lenses and cams from Japan. Pretty happy with Japan, but sometimes they try to snooker the buyer. China is OK for cheap stuff, but about 30% to 40% of what I buy gets trashed and is subpar. I will not buy $$ items from China.

UK's upskirting law can put as photog in jail for 2 years. More and more regulation unfoldingfor street photogs. This time freedom was only saved by 1 vote. No doubt when the one old timer blocking it dies off the millennials will pass it. The United Kingdom recently attempted to make upskirting illegal and punishable by up to two years in prison. But thanks to a single lawmaker, the bill hasnt become law after all. 71-year-old Sir Christopher Chope of Conservative party blocked the bill and he didnt give a reason for it Upskirting, as you probably know, is taking unauthorized photos under a womans skirt. Gina Martin started a campaign against it in the U.K. after she was a victim of upskirting in 2017.She was unable to file a lawsuit because of the gap in the law. Upskirting is not a criminal offense in the U.K., and the police reportedly stated that the photo wasnt obscene enough because she was wearing underwear. The proposed bill would put upskirting in line with other voyeurism offenses, making it punishable by up to two years in jail. As TIME reports, Prime Minister Theresa Mays government gave its backing to the proposed bill on Friday. However, Chopes objection means that the lawwill have to be debated again at a later date. According to the same source, the expected date for a new debate is 6 July 2018. https://www.diyphotography.net/uk-blocks-the-law-that-bans-taking-photos-up-womens-skirts/

A trend with art museums is to remove or stop promoting art by artists they find out are less than perfect. Artist’s are on a different wavelength than the general population…get used to it. If you look for flaws, you will find them. Don’t make excuses for them. If you like their art then you have to take them with their proverbial warts and all. To produce the art they did, they needed to live the life they did. The rest of the story...
