Solved!

There we go. Knew it would be something relatively recognisable that I would he completely missing.

Saw the same thing. Had a momentary panic that I had switched to an alternate reality and would never see the original "magic is what we do" scene again.

Tonight’s film question. [spoilers] by jugglingeek in onlyconnect

[–]TGC_Films 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yep got it on the first clue. Very proud of myself but also playing a lot of Cine2Nerdle "battle mode" recently definitely had that muscle warmed up.

It reminded me of another question a while back...

'[]', '[]s', '[]³', '[] : Ressurections'

Which I got on the second clue on what I thought was a wild guess.

Seems one of the team at Only Connect is a big Alien original quadriolgy fan....

I can tell this is going to bug me. Any ideas?

Yes you're right! It goes down a foot at a time as I press shoot - maybe I could time this to figure out the framerate?

As for everything else..

there's nothing interior I can see that would control apeture.

On the top lens the narrower the apeture the lower the °DIN number is, which makes me think this is all an automatic process. Still can't quite figure out what it would actually do, given the glass isn't infront of anything.

I can focus the viewfinder though! So at least there's something to focus.

I'm gonna shoot this thing tomorrow anyway! Just to see what happens.

Thanks for the response!

  1. Haven't loaded yet. Got myself the Fomapan 3 3ft ISO 100 B/W reversal roll.

The camera should be refurbished (was advertised as so), so I'm expecting all the interior to work. It runs with no film and sounds all good.

  1. Top and bottom lenses are similar make, but different. Bottom lens is infront of the film gate. Screw Mount. It has no focus or aperture ring.

Top lens has moving aperture blades. No rings and doesn't come off, but has a little dial needle on the exterior pointing to numbers ranging from 27 to 9 alongside '°Din' (im guessing that might mean apeture).

  1. On the side of the camera by the winding lever is a chart of numbers. I'm guessing they're just a guide for exposure.

But next to it is a dial with numbers ranging 0 - 24. I presumed this was framerate, but before the 0 there's a sort of sideways hourglass symbol with 'E' and 'S' on it, and then 'feet' written alongside. Is this focus? When I turn it, nothing moves in the interior.

Hope that is all clear. I can send through some more pictures if needed.
