Re: DIY Flm Scanning
Keep your mind clearly on the cost implications when you are BUILDING a rig.... it's so easy for that to escalate without you realising!
For example: $1700 for the camera BODY ONLY. That more than half the cost of a complete, working "Retro-8 Professional" from Moviestuff! (I don't use one or have ...

Always used to be a compound known as "Canada Balsam", but I don't know if that's what is used these days.

Re: How come there are no super 8 projectors with 250 watt E
The consensus of opinion (including mine) is don't mess around with what qualified designers have put time, money and devoted effort into producing SAFELY for everyone's pleasure.

Re: How come there are no super 8 projectors with 250 watt E

Re: How come there are no super 8 projectors with 250 watt E
8mm was conceived and marketed as a "home" product, therefore designed to be "economic" both for taking and showing. By definition it was intended for a mas market which called for cheap projectors working on relatively small screens Most projectors had low wattage bulbs to start with, gradually ...

No, I don't. New Forum members are always welcome. I can't download it at the moment as there appears to be a problem with that part of the site, which recently changed host.
I suggest you join, then contact Kev (owner and moderator) and tell him of problem. I've sent him a message about it.

Re: testing sheet for speed accuracy of camera
First... NOT "digital THERMOMETER"... "digital TACHOMETER" !!!!!!!!
The Tachometer reads the number of dots passing its beam in 1 SECOND. So if twenty dots pass in 1 second on a 10 dot disc the speed is 2 revolutions per second.
First, you need to know hoe many frames are rewound by one turn of ...
