Nick, Thanks so much for responding. One question - sorry if it seems basic. You're saying that you with the T function you can keep the shutter open as long as you hold the run button down however you will get a flicker with the inconsistency. So instead you need to increase exposure time. Is this not controlled the same way with holding the run button? Just trying to figure out logistics. Thanks.

Clive, Thank you for your response. I went to your website and it gave a very thorough explanation. I was acutally planning on buying the one of your motors from a rental house this week for another reason. If you don't mind, however, I'd like to ask a couple more questions. What if the tv set in frame was shot using stop motion? Will this change the formula? (I was planning on purchasing the TTL motor for this as well as other time lapse) If not, what if the footage was transfered to tape at 29.97 fps? Thanks again for your time, Stephanie

I am looking for preferably an Arri FF3, but I am open to other options. Please let me know. Thanks. Stephanie SLZimmer@hotmail.com

Hey, Does anyone know if you can shoot a television screen without getting bars using a Bolex? Shutter? Any optional accessory to find/rent? Thanks, Stephanie

Hi, For anyone familiar with macro lenses, I'm wondering if there is a blanket formula for compensation. I'm trying to understand exposure compensation for older lenses. I'm not sure that I understand the magnification ratio in real terms. I believe that the idea is that if you are magnifying something at 100%, or 1:1, you compensate by opening up 2 stops. Or if you magnifiying the object by 200%, getting closer, or 2:1, then you open up 3 1/3 stops. Is this the idea? If there is another way of explaining magnification ratio and exposure compensation, I'd appreciate it. Thanks.

Hey, What do you guys think about the marketplace for low budget 35mm work? Does it still exist? Or is it turning over to video/16mm. Thinking about investing in rig but I'm not sure if the time has past for these jobs. Also thinking about investing in Varicam or SDX900. If anyone has any opinions about choosing the best investment at this time, let me know. Thanks for your time.

Hi, If anyone has any equipment they are selling or any suggestions, please let me know. Thanks.

Hi, I was just researching video taps to purchase for my Aaton XTR and I came across this old post. I was wondering what you ended up doing with your LTR? I want to invest in a decent color tap but on the other hand, I'm looking for an affordable option for the moment. Do you have any suggestions from your experience? Thanks for your time, Stephanie

Thanks guys. Michael, thanks for taking the time to explain.

Hey Nathan, Since you seem to know a thing or two on Aatons, I was wondering if you might be able to check out this ebay auction for an XTR and tell me what you think it should go for. It seems like a great deal but I don't want to get in over my head. Thanks for your time. Item number: 7569588860

Hi, Just a simple question. I'm not sure how to effectively read a breaker box to decide how much power I can draw from one location. Can someone explain how to read a breaker box for maximum voltage and amps per circuit? Thanks.

Hi, To those of you with experience pulling focus on an anamorphic job, do you have any advice as far as what to do or not to do. Things to look out for... Any direction would be appreciated. Thanks.

Boris - Thank you so much for your help. One question about looking up the serial number - for the 13x viewfinder, for instance, if the serial number of the camera is past the number that the feature was offered, it was automatically given that feature? There wasn't an option to have either the 10 or 13x for that year? I just want to make sure I have a 13x viewfinder because I was surprised how dark it was when I received it. I appreciate all your time. Thanks again, Stephanie

Hi, I'd be very grateful if you could tell me the value of what I purchased. The serial number is 256294. The eBay item number is 7555766407. I heard that you can look up your camera by serial number and there should be a log of what you have. Have your heard about this? Is there a website where I can look up the serial number? Thanks for your help, Stephanie
