Well,if modern techie stuff does not work,just drop the film into luke warm waterfor a few minutes,remove,thoroughly let dry of its own accord and you will find most 'scratches' will dissapear. This is NOT a wind up,it really works. This is a "poor man's" version of a the Kodak rewash pro...

Wetgate printing/telecine hides scratches by coating the film with a solvent (usually tetrachloroethylene / perchloroethylene) that has the same refractive index as triacetate film base. It will not hide deep emulsion-side (colored) scratches. This solvent is fairly toxic, and needs the proper handl...

interesting assesment. http://www.kodak.com/US/en/motion/s8mm/64tnotch.jhtml?id=0.1.4.14.8.6&lc=en specifies on some super 8 cameras what the exposure is with this stock and how to correct it. Other guidelines: If the camera allows setting exposure manually, calculate your E64T exposure for an ...

I have tried and tried over a few weeks to find a contact for 'tayloreel' - a super8 spool manufacturing co. The web site I have and that google gives is http://www.tayloreel.com but when I click on this I don't get tayloreel but some 'welcome to your account helper' page. Is it my computer? Does a...

Because Super-8 7217 is already a catalog listed item. sorry i'm confused. i thought the post was about Regular 8 (16mm) Although Kodak no longer offers stocks in the Regular-8 format, there is considerable experience with the five Super-8 films that are offered, which can be extrapolated to Regula...

Here is the technical data for E100D: http://www.kodak.com/US/en/motion/products/reversal/5285.jhtml?id=0.1.4.4.6.4&lc=en For telecine/scanning, don't overlook the option of using 7217 with a bit of overexposure to reduce the graininess even more. It's one of Kodak's sharpest films, and a "...

Hiya folks, What's the story with Swiss Lab's processing of 16mm & Regular 8 - Standard 8 Kodachrome? Is it over soon for European Reg 8mm and 16mm Kodachrome as well as Super 8? I've just sent one Super 8 Sound Kodachrome today, with two carts left, and still got a shoe box full of Regular 8 K...

Film that is over 20 years old stored at room temperature will certainly not yield optimum images.

I am really suprised that someone still manufactures a Regular 8 stock. When was the last R8 camera or projector manufactured? 40 years ago? I'm not privy to the sales figures, but since Regular-8 print film is still catalog listed, I suspect there is a good business case and well-established custo...

AFAIK, the only catalog-listed film perforated Regular-8 is Kodak VISION Color Print Film 3383. What is the speed on that. Is it suitable for camera original? It is a print film, designed to make prints from color negatives. It is much too high in contrast and too slow to use as a camera film, and ...

If you want the blue "look", shooting a tungsten film in daylight without an orange filter will certainly do that. But if you want normal looking color, best to match the film to the light source. [pressing ever-so-lightly down on the stylus...] So, what happens to the emulsion when you s...
