  1. thanks for the replies guys - im just wondering how feasible it is to do it because ive been checking on ebays and most of the bargains that are offered are 400' or less but more than a 100'. btw, im a bit clueless on how to use a rewind - i know the concept but i dont know how it looks like, and how much one would cost on average. does it look something like this? Or this?
  2. ...other than chucking everything into a changing bag and doing it manually? Is it a good decision to buy 400's worth of film and then rewinding em into a daylight spool? Or is there an accessory i could buy to do this task? (btw, sorry if this is in the wrong forum, but since i thought its for the bolex, maybe i could post it here)
  3. wow guys! thanks for the info! now i just need to get some free films from kodak in my neck of woods. =)
  4. I won it! http://cm.ebay.com/cm/ck/1065-29392-2357-0...Item=7572018097 What do you think? PS - Bobolex, ur PM is full!! Cheers
  5. thanks for the advice bobolex. =) im on the running bid for a serial 220749 bolex. i reckon its a h-16 m-4 1:1 ratio shaft from andrew aldens website. Could you tell me what the ratio staff means?
  6. hmmm....the auricon is the typical movie camera you always see in a period movie!!! =) why is the zoom called a dog leg? btw, since i started in photography first, the maxim for first time is "buy the cheapest body you could get, and then get the most expensive lens your budget allows" is that the same for 16mm cameras as well?
  7. wow! so much to choose from! =) just to clarify, im not the original poster, and i have no intention of hijacking his thread. just thought id post some q's of my own that has some bearing on the original question. =) I'd really love an arri!!! But practically, its too expensive for a starving film student like me. the price of the lens alone would kill me! (this is based on my ebay hits - im im wrong, please correct me..=)) the k3s sounds like a good bet, but support wise, how good is it? how solid is the operations, and if it does break down, am i left with a lemon? Having bought a Russian-made TLR that quickly became a paperweight due to its non-serviceable nature, im wondering if its the same with the motion camera. Can it be repaired easily? another thing would be the availabilty of the camera at any given time. its hard to find an arri-s or a pentaflex 16 in working condition floating on the net. a bolex can be found easily online at any given time. which is why im favoring bolex at the moment. support wise, i know i can count on several places to send it for repairs. my only gripe with the bolex is the many, many variations of it! im looking at the rexes, really love it...but if i cant get a nice one for an affordable price, id go for the older ones... the b&h filmo looks good. saw one on ebay. but it looks huge! tho. how heavy can those get? anyway, a bit of a bg info - im into photography. i shoot b&w exclusively, and learnt composition and camera works from taking photos. im also into movies. shot a few shorts in DV in uni, nothing spectacular. but those short movies makes me really wanna go the next step. id really love to have those DOF bokeh that can only be achieved by a REAL lens. normal dv cams dont do that, and a dv cam that does it is a 3ccd SunnyƤ camera that costs a bomb for a type of look that i *really* deplore. i simply love how film looks. where i am (malaysia) film is a bit hard to get, but having said that, almost anything else regarding analog formats are hard to get here. u can get the latest of anything digital, but a replacement for that old turntable stylus? no way! =P im leaning more towards stuff with a lot of drama, actors and such. have a few ideas that id like to see the light of day, mostly content/story driven stuff. so sound is appreciated, but not required. i think i can get away if i just dub it later. right now im working in a post-house, so i have access to a telecine machine (a SHADOW!!!) My employers have given their approval for me to use their equipments during the off-hours, so i guess the post-part on my end is covered. only thing i need right now is a film camera, some films, and someone to forward me to the nearest FAQ on how to process 16mm film and how the hell i can dry them!!! just wondering as well, anybody here process their own reels? or if its even practical to do that? cheers.
  8. hmm, thanks for the info. i would if i could get those, but right now, money is an issue. =( *sigh* i need a sub USD500 movie camera, sound sync is nice, but not really a requirement.
  9. forgive me for asking, but someone wants to sell me a bolex h16 s - is it any good? wat are the advantages/disadvantages?
