eek

I did some searching through the forums... can't say I find anybody else recommending taking the screwdriver to this baby. Everyone seems to suggest that Nizo internals are quantum physics. Of course, the camera is next to useless even with an external light meter (which I plan to use anyway) if I c...

Re: nada

Have you opened the camera? If yes, that's probably the reason, if no, it's time to open it! Try adjusting the knob while the camera is opened . Try to clean the area with a small piece of cotton (with alcohol). Do you see any movement now? If yes, put back the cover VERY CAREFULLY. Especially the ...

nada

Still nothing. In fact, when I move the dial for manual settings I see no change thru the viewfinder. It did work the first day, when I put the new light meter batteries in -- when I pushed the test button, the needle would move over; on automatic, when I pointed at the sky, the indicator would adju...

Reasoning for no shipping?

Maybe certain groups think that shipping encourages wasteful packaging and transportation, making the transaction less "free" from an economic and environmental impact POV? I like the concept. There's a group here in Austin. Maybe it's time i join up and start clearing out the garage... c.

interested...

Hi Munnin, I for one would be interested in your continuing this thread to describe your efforts and experiences. I have a spiral reel tank coming any day now, along with some Kodak b&w chemistry, and my complete lack of experience. :D Therefore, a "journal" of your experience would be...

Non-sticky trigger

Thanks, Andre! Worked like a charm... I only had to repeat the procedure twice. After the first time, it was markedly better. After the second, it feels really great. Will probably save 50 frames per release over the way it was working before! Now if I can only figure out why the light meter stopped...

1. Should the camera run for a second or so (literally between 1 and 2 seconds) after I release the trigger? It starts smoothly and immediately when I engage it, but takes a second to stop filming after release. Sound familiar to anyone? The sticky trigger is a standard complaint with these types o...

Nizo 801 Q's

I recently bought a Nizo 801 (silver, non-macro) on eBay for a song b/c the battery box was missing and the sell...

Color Reversal Lab?

I've been thinking about doing exactly the same thing, though I am also interested n processing the color reversal film. Less so now that the Ektachromes are cancelled... But still... Would the Houston Feerless Colormaster 16mm that Steve at Rocky Mtn is selling also work for Super 8 Color and/or B&...
