  1. Tyler, sorry but you are only partly wrong on this one. Kodak does share the building but the new short end business there is called Hollywood Film Shop, run by a guy named Mark, answering the old reel-good number at 323-876-5427

    Mark would also like to make the distinction that they have a focus on recans and short ends (when available) rather than new stock... sort of one address, two options

  2. Hey Robino this is what I thought, thanks for letting us know. It sounds like now instead of Reel Good we have TWO services to thank! Motion Picture Film Stock AND the new company answering the old Reel Good phone number..

    Hope people are reading this and give both some business ❤️ 

  3. Hi Tyler -- It's been very hard to determine what is going on... there is no info on google maps, and I live in Highland Park and rarely go that direction unless I need to so haven't been able to see the storefront. That's interesting there's a Kodak office, maybe Hollywood Film Shop is just a casual name they are using for old inventory or something?

    Do you know that Scott is involved with it? Because I spoke to someone different!

    In any case -- super nice guy and down to help out! Has 35 but says he rarely sees 16mm these days... 

  4. Hi Tyler, thank you for your response and for sharing this example. 1:85 is my favorite!

    So basically -- it's totally passable -- but what about technically? Do you not think the IQ is determined more by negative size rather than scan resolution? Like you are just enlarging grains once you reach the resolution limit?

     

     

     

     

     

  5. I agree with Heikki. I'm thinking those absurdly priced listings by that video house are influencing sellers who are less community oriented or who might be unsure of how to price them.

  6. Hi Cale, thank you very much for the response. Yes PL is really nice.. but as I mentioned I was hoping for something I could have my own lenses for on hand... to be able to shoot my own projects. I imagine this would add up. I'm not dying for it to be super and if I think about whether what you mentioned is worth it when the Bolex has a limited take length without a motor.. and an ACL has the bonus of being able to do sync sound if necessary.. well..

  7. Hi there, 

    I'm wondering if anyone has heard of, or might have an Eclair ACL for sale. 

    I'm looking for a regular 16 camera for my own practice (not DP work)-- and would be open to hearing of other cams people would consider selling that make great owner cameras.

    I'm aware there are a lot of postings like this that do not pan out, so for what it's worth.. I'm seriously hoping to find something soon so I can shoot a project next month. 

    Any assistance would be greatly appreciated. 

    Warmly,

    Matt

  8. I am looking at a package that is an XTR, but not PROD or Plus. Wondering if anyone can shed light on what the differences are as there is very little online literature on the basic XTR. Curious what upgrades there were in the later models etc. and if it matters that much.

     

    Any info would be highly appreciated. Thanks!
