Actually, he's selling A LOT of extra accessoires with the camera, anyway the "buy it now" price seems a little crazy to me.
Honestly I don't know how much the two primes could be valued, but if they're not $ 10000 worth each, that guy is living on Mars.

Sorry everybody, but I have to write in italian.
Caro Marco e Livio,
io ogni tanto sviluppo il bianco e nero, se volete potete scrivermi a nanocentomo@libero.it. Livio: davvero non si può più acquistare il Potassio dicromato? Io ne acquistai un certo quantitativo dalla Ornano, tempo fa. Si ...

Just my last reply about the filters' subject.

Well Giovanni, "technical truth" is awesome.

So you follow the technical truth in cinema?

My english is bad too, forgive me. I intended to say the exact opposite of what you suggest I'm saying: I don't think there is a given truth, in cinema. It ...

Try to film the very same sky with 100 different lenses or emulsions (not to speak about the film development), and you'll obtain 100 different skies.
What your retina sees is not what your ...

Fritzcarraldo,
I don't think I understand what you mean by 'cleaner image'.
Maybe you want to say that using filters produces a light loss: in this case you're right. It's true (even if not with any filter: the light loss due to a skylight filter, for example, is hardly noticeable...), and every ...

Hi Marc (and Livio),
the guy with the dark coat is a young Nanni Moretti.

As for another super8 movies, I've bought a dvd containing some works of Derek Jarman (Glitterbug, Pirate Tape, TG: Psychic Rally in Heaven).
It's all shot in super8, both color and b/w.
Quite boring stuff, anyway...

The guy on the right is Nanni Moretti, the director.

"A man with a camera", by Nestor Almendros.
The best book about cinematography I've ever read.
I totally agree with you, Roger.

I think the manufacturers should add some more informations/details/pictures to their site: they don't explain too much about the magazine, or am I missing something?
From that dark, small picture I can only tell that I'd need a crane, in order to operate the camera with such a monster attached on ...

Hi Eric,
I've got a 801macro and a 6080.
If you want I can send you some pics, just tell me what you would like to see.
Giovanni

If I remember correctly, I sent you a VHS cassette.
I'd like to have the final version (the edited film) transferred on it, if possible.
Thanks,
Giovanni

Being an ancient latin word, you should say "fora".
But we all use it as an english word, so...
