  1. I am having trouble focusing my K3. I've just got some footage back, almost all of it is, at least very soft, a lot of it is clearly out of focus. This is the first batch I have filmed since the camera was converted to S16. The conversion used a re-centered lens mount. The previous footage filmed was much better (not 100% sharp but acceptable). I have used 3 lenses, all with the same problem, Meteor 16-79, Belomo (Peleng) 8mm, and a Sun Actinon 80-200mm. The image in the viewfinder doesn't seem to come into focus as it should. The zoom lenses are quite poor, especially at the extremes, but do seem better in the middle focal lengths. Could this be an issue with the new lens mounting ring being too thick or thin, causing the focusing plane to have shifted? Any other thoughts / experience? Thanks Glen
  2. Dear Cinematographers, The problem pertains to the Vivitar 733A super 8 film projector, which has been serviced, but has also been sitting in my closet without proper attention for several months. When I project a roll, and focus for the sharpness thereof, the projector's frame is out of focus - noticeably blurred around the border; - and when I focus for the projector's frame, the film is out of focus. Is the problem mechanical, thus requiring me to have it serviced again, or purchase a new one; or simply the result of my own ignorance? I would be sincerely grateful for any assistance in this matter. Kindest Regards, Kurt Cassidy-Gabhart Would that it were so simple!
