    @Joerg Polzfusz @David Mullen ASC @Mark Dunn Thanks all for your thoughtful responses!

    @Don Cunningham I should have framed my entire question differently. I wanna know if anyone thinks I can achieve a B&W Reversal look with color neg with maybe the right lighting ratios and possibly filtration. I'm not interested in any other b&w neg because while I love grain, it isn't what I'm looking for for this project. 7222, 7266, even 7231 feel too pronounced

    @Simon Wyss It's not my goal but I would love to have a print made eventually @Robert Houllahan 1962 is absolutely insane. I shot some of the same Plus-x neg 7231 like that from 1990 and it looked essentially the same as yours There's a 2000' lot of 7276 on Etsy of all places right now, but they are in the chrome cans, not the more modern grey ones so I assume they must be from the 80s are the earliest? they looked so old I was worried. Does reversal hold up as well as neg?

    I've always heard shooting color neg and pulling out all the color simply doesn't do what shooting black and white does. I plan to shoot a test of my own to see what I find on my own, but I'm interested in people's insight into this claim? This began with me trying to find as much Plus-X 7276 as I could for a short, because it's probably my favorite stuff full stop. but it's so old now that it's nearly impossible to find in large amounts, and like a lot of expired film, often comes without any guarantee of the quality of the storage. So I thought, why don't I just shoot 7203 with high contrast ratios and try to fake it? Do you think I'll even get in the same ballpark? 7276 is so shimmery and silky and punchy and grain free. Besides V3 color stocks being so low-con by design, are there any other reasons that make this not a great idea? Thanks!

    @David Mullen ASC Thanks so much for your reply! That makes a lot of sense. Seems obvious now, haha

    Alien is a great go-to when talking about effective handheld work, but it really uses about every technique you can think of, brilliantly, I might add. I recently read Derek Vanlint's ASC magazine article about shooting the film and he mentioned they were offered a Panaglide, but refused because he and Ridley wanted to be the sole operators and couldn't learn the rig in time. Upon watching it the other night for the billionth time, I noticed I never gave much thought to one of the first shots. In the opening sequence, when the Nostromo receives its special order, and the camera is giving us an ominous tour of the ship's interior, it's all dolly work, of course, until the final slow push through the white hallway, settling on the door that opens to reveal the cryopods, before we push all the way to the threshold of that room. Was the camera underslung on some rig? Maybe a crane? the crane seems hard to fathom with the cramped four wall sets

    I've asked around, read the manual, read online, called techs, and still can't get a straight answer on this one. I have an Eclair NPR with the Beala (Beauviala) crystal motor .. the manual states if the light goes on, sync is achieved and if the light is off, sync cannot be guaranteed. Elsewhere I see the exact opposite, and that the light is a warning that sync has been lost. I know this is because of the other motors that were made afterwards having different specs, but can anyone please tell me what the truth is on this one? Thank you!!

    I’d just get one of those angenieux lenses with the viewfinder attached to it. But to Robert’s point, I have a non-working REX-0 like he’s describing I can contribute if you wanna go that route.

    @Uli Meyer looks damn good to me! Thank you for sharing!

    I have had an Eclair NPR for one or two weeks, and I’ve been getting familiar with it. it seemed solid until yesterday, now I can hardly get a roll of film through it. I think it’s a problem with the magazine. I am on the east coast, so I was thinking Du-All would be my best bet, but I’ve also heard great things about Visual Products. Any recommendations or info in general are so appreciated!!
