Matt Stevens Posted September 21, 2013 Share Posted September 21, 2013 Hi all. So my normal go to guy has not replied to emails (strangely) and so I am going to ask around here. I have a terrific Canon 1014 XL-S that I love (not as much as my long gone Nikon R10, but oh well) and it has performed wonderfully for the nearly two years I have owned her. However, right now I am getting a strange problem when shooting. Sometimes it is as if the in camera fade in/out becomes engaged. I'll be shooting and POOF, it stops. When I check the roll, I see the results are an in camera fade out. Like on this Straight8 entry that didn't go so well... https://vimeo.com/57757062 The scratches are a product of the shitty telecine. They ruined my roll. :( Anyway, you can see the issue at 0:22, 0:35 and 2:46. Every other aspect of the camera is fine. It's really mint. But I have a feature shoot coming up and if all goes well, I'll need this camera working 100% since we have some super8 stuff to shoot for a few scenes. I will also be in the market for a backup camera, preferably a tip top Nikon R10. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt Stevens Posted September 21, 2013 Author Share Posted September 21, 2013 I should specify that the repair facility needs to be in the USA. Shipping overseas and back is time consuming. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Josh Gladstone Posted September 23, 2013 Share Posted September 23, 2013 I'm pretty sure Pro8 also repairs 1014s. Spectra maybe too. There's a great camera tech in Hollywood named Tony, but he may only do 16mm cams. His email is awphoto67@yahoo.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Cunningham Posted September 23, 2013 Share Posted September 23, 2013 SSSH... Josh, don't mention Pro8 to Matt. It will make him angry. :) Sorry Matt! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
