Re: 10mm Switar lens element swapping?
It should be feasible. The elements are consistently ground and polished to specifications, also regarding thickness. Make sure the doublet sits in its step without any lacquer axially. You will readjust for infinity finally. Good luck

Re: Were regular 8mm film synchronizers ever made?
You can wrap a length of clear leader around the drum of a 16-mm. synchronizer, stick adhesive tape to it. That will support the 8-mm. film.

Re: The Art of Super 8 (full documentary)
Can anybody tell me what should be the art with specific film formats? I find that title ridiculous. Super-8 isn’t art by itself, due to its technical imperfections. What a nonsense. Super-8 was a business model aimed at everybody (which worked and evolved to a billion $ business), an ecologically ...

Re: Kodak K100
The K-100 is prone to rust. Keep it dry.
Ciné-Kodaks follow the basic idea of the original Kodak, an oblong box. They all stand well on the tripod, a feature sometimes missed with other motion-picture cameras.

Re: Archiving
Are you planning three color b/w separation archives?
There are various versions. You could have a set of three strips or a three times longer one with the sequence 1R-1G-1B-2R-2G-2B-and so on. Half-thick base films are on the market, I have used them for the first time in 2005 in the 16mm format ...

What could have made you to have film duplicates made? I’m asking that because I plan to start a business right for such commissions. If you could buy the world’s best contact duplicates of which every frame was exposed completely stationary and located according to the standard relative to the ...

Re: Bolex H16 and FOMA: it's not the thickness of the filmbase
I have measured the widths as well:
FOMA is 14.980 and Kodak is 14.910 - standard stated 14.950 +0,025 -0,025
What?!
You must have mistyped. You meant 15,98 mm and 15,91 mm.
ISO 69 says 15,95 mm ± 0,025.
15,910 mm would be too narrow. When you subtract 0,025 mm from 15,950 mm you have 15,925 mm ...

Re: Kodak Film Prices
The trick is to do volume,
Oh, yes, and from that I don’t understand why they don’t open all the valves.
Super-8 is DS-8 in an earlier step and that is a 16mm strip another step before.
So Kodak, as we’ve already said, could offer new Ektachrome as 16mm film,
in Double-Eight, and DS-8, too. They ...

Re: The Future of Film
Exactly the same here. Cinema with film was murdered. The initial experience, flammable perforated black-and-white film projected with carbon arc light at 16 fps or so is even more appealing once known. That is how cinema grew up. The light palaces, the ubiquitous urban distraction and stimulation ...

Re: Kodak Film Prices
As Doug says Super-8 is no more the “super” experience. I am a child of the cold war and still have a feel for the explosive mixture of that right-and-wrong, all-embracing, and fatuous mindset of the sixties. It was easy to suggest men landing on Moon because everybody was in tune. It was simple to ...
