    I'd talk to Girvan at Ablecine in LA. They still have spare parts / accessories for Aaton 16mm cameras and he may have a factory original solution for you

    I'd shot a test roll of 200T that I tossed in the fridge to send "with the next batch" of stuff, but never shot more stuff and it sat chilled for 10 months. Recently processed and transfered it and it was fine. Now note I said fine, not great. My understanding from Kodak matches what Tyler is saying. Process ASAP for best results. But if thats not an option, then a fridge will work. I'd be curious if anyone has an opinion of fridge vs freezer If it were me, I'd process ASAP and scan later. Record off your video tap, ideally with stamped timecode if you camera will do it, and you can edit with that for now (though there will be some minor headaches thanks to most taps being 29.97 if in the US)

    Hi Attila, is that an Ultra 16 or a super speed? (the B mount makes me think super speed)
  4. Robin Phillips started following WTB: Arri Zeiss Ultra 16 12mm lens

    Im looking for an Ultra16 12mm single lens. Anyone have one they'd be willing to sell?

    Does anyone have any Aaton compatible LEMO 6 pin male connectors they're willing to part with? (specifically for the Aaton Xtera)

    Film can not resolve infinite resolution. From what I've seen there is 0 way super 8 can resolve 8k. Its pushing it to say that super 16 can resolve 4k, and that assumes Ultra 16s or Master Primes are being used. This will almost certainly not be the case with a super 8 camera. So why throw away money on an 8k scan on a format that cant resolve it? I suspect if we all had that kind of money to blow, we'd all be shooting 65 lol

    I know in the SF bay area along with most of LA, cable only pushes at 720p (though some on demand stuff is 1080). If these regions dont even push 1080, it helps the argument that UHD TV is... questionable in practice. Also I've found that, at least with S16, scanning at 2k and upscaling to 4k can (emphasis on CAN) result in an equal of better (where better equals more satisfying to people who want a sharper picture) image than a 4k scan. So the idea of doing 8k scans of super 8 seems utterly insane

    The rounded frame is going to be the old CRT TV Safe zone. The corner hooks should be your full gate area, aka the full of what you'll see when you do a scan

    most of those were gun cameras or scientific cameras that would be triggered precisely to capture what was being studied. While some were usable for film production (IIRC some were used on Hurt Locker) most are not exactly ideal for narrative or doc production use

    sent you a pm, but ya the lentiquip cables work with the 304 so should work just fine with the 301
  12. Robin Phillips
    I use a PAG AR304 charger for my SR3 batteries. They work fine with both the normal batteries and Lentequips larger ones (but not the super duper high density ones). You can find these chargers for about 50 to 200 on ebay right now it looks like. now for the XLR to SR3 battery charge cables, you'll probably need to order those from Emery at Lentequip

    tad late to the party but I've found what vimeo does to 422LT to be effectively indistinguishable to what it does to 4444
  14. Robin Phillips
    correct, my mental math there defaulted to 1920x1080 vs 2048x1152.

    if you dont need their HDR scan, a 1080 scan needs like a 6% upscale to be 2k. that upscale is unnoticeable to most, plus you'll still have your original negative if you do need a higher res scan later on
