Philippe Lignieres Posted November 27, 2017 Share Posted November 27, 2017 Hi, Does anybody knows if modifying GIC 16mm cameras speed is possible, or ever done ? As far as I know, they just run à 16 fps, what is not common or handy. But they are very little cameras, with just 15m spools, more handy than B&H magazine... Many thanks for your answers, Philippe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Premium Member Simon Wyss Posted November 28, 2017 Premium Member Share Posted November 28, 2017 Funny, I am right now working myself into that. Si vous pouvez attendre encore une semaine je saurais dire exactement comment ça se fait et le coût. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Webster Colcord Posted July 29, 2020 Share Posted July 29, 2020 I just got my inaugural test roll back for a Gic 16 - and my first time shooting the new Ektachrome. Lots of problems, and have since sent off the camera to Mr. Wyss for repair. The take-up was inconsistent, so every 5 feet it would back up and (since there's so little room in there) jam. So I had my changing bag with me and would pop the camera into it after each 5 ft, and manually adjust the take-up. Unfortunately, it turns out that this changing bag was not 100% light-tight! It was also an extremely bright day, so I'm not too surprised. E100D, processing by Dwayne's, 2K scan by Nick Coyle. Lens was an Angenieux 17-68 with side finder. Camera's speed is supposed to be 16fps but I have adjusted the speed in the edit to 15fps and it feels correct. It's really just a novelty camera, cheaply made but fun and *tiny*.
