I've had the issue with quarz ds8 soviet cameras. I sent them to my trusted tech. He told me he just cleaned it very well inside and now they are working perfectly. Soviet made are very sturdy and, according to him easy to repair.

Hello, I own a set of Zeiss ZF which i use for cinematography. I love the microcontrast / image fidelity / background separation / 3d pop effect... as you want to name it. I infer that lenses with less than 7-9 eelements will enhance the effect. However some Zeiss wide angles have more elements and a phenomenal pop like the Distagon 25mm f2. This is my favorite feature of lenses. I privilege microcontrast way more than sharpness or corrected aberrations. I haven't tried voigtlander lenses but I know they have similar rendering. Do you know other lenses —excluding the super expensive ones— that have high microcontrast? I would like to buy more lenses like this. Here I attach two photos shot with the Distagon 25mm f2 ZF.2 to illustrate what I'm talking about.

A tech in Mexico City already repaired 2 canon DS8 for me. If you come sometime let me know. He is an excellent tech. He has repaired almost all the cameras I've sent to him.

Hello everybody. I work a lot with my FS7. I wish I could place the hand grip just to the side of the body like the FS5. I really do not use nor like the arm attached to the hand grip. Anyone has a solution to adapt the handle to the arri rosette in the body?

Processing Problems (Yellow/Green film base?)
Pablo Cruz Villalba replied to Ali Shah's topic in Film Stocks & Processing
I've never used QWD but I've had a similar problem before. I mix my own ecn2. When it happened I figured out that I needed to wash more after the stop bath. Try using a stop bath after developer, wash very well and then proceed. I think those stains happen when bleach meets developer. -

All the film. I've made tests with the same batch and I can say it is unexpossed film. The only exposure it had it was my test.
