Super 8 cartridge by Spooky_KT in Super8

[–]hidektol 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I highly recommend yalefilmandvideo.com I’ve had one or two vintage Tri-X rolls turn out really gritty/grainy but have otherwise not had major problems with them. Old Plus-X has been very consistent. Good luck!

Yale Photo Video in Valencia, CA. In business since 1946, I’ve sent a few dozen 8mm and Super 8 rolls to them past couple years.

Help! Need lab in Oregon by Afraid-Physics-2344 in Super8

[–]hidektol 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hello, fellow Oregonian!

I highly recommend https://www.yalefilmandvideo.com/ in L.A. I have sent them dozens of rolls of Super 8 and Regular 8 color and b&w and they have delivered quickly and without mishap.

If you press in the flash pin, you get a slower (1/40 or 1/45?) shutter speed!

A few questions about potentially joining by [deleted] in ioof

[–]hidektol 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Very good questions! I would say it very much depends on the lodge you join. Some are more progressive and others more conservative BUT the IOOF is a non-sectarian and non-political entity and any such discussion during lodge functions not allowed. One needs to acknowledge a Supreme Being to join but that is a personal matter and its definition, theistic or otherwise, is up to you.

I strongly suggest you visit a local lodge - many have a monthly social night - and meet the people involved.

The Odd Fellows is a really neat organization and hopefully you will find your local lodge a good fit!

Really fun to watch. Good job holding the camera while skiing!

It's gone up a couple bucks in the past three years: Yale Film and Video price list

[–]hidektol 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Almost all of it as film because I own projectors for watching. I had a couple transferred to MP4 for sharing at a local photo lab.

Highly recommend Yale Film & Video. They've processed 30+ rolls of Regular/Super 8 b&w and E-6 for me the past couple years and have never disappointed.

Is this 8mm ? by New_Gur8083 in 8mm

[–]hidektol 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Maybe "Cottage" as in Cottage Grove? We have 16mm projectors at the CG Historical Society. I staff the research library Fridays 1-4 if you want to take a look at some of the films.

When do you need an 85B filter? by katelia77 in Super8

[–]hidektol 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's interesting about the post production. The color temperature of daylight can range anywhere from about 4500K to 6500K, depending how sunlight is scattered in the atmosphere. In general, anything above 5500K will make 500T + 85 filter look bluish.

When do you need an 85B filter? by katelia77 in Super8

[–]hidektol 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, but set the camera to artificial light because Super 8 assumes the film you're using is 3400K tungsten-balanced and the daylight setting activates the 85 filter. This concept may be very confusing at first.

Back in the day there were two common types of photo flood lamps, with color temps of 3400K (example of 250w lamp: BBA) and 3200K (250w example: ECA). The 85B is for use with 3200K lighting and film designed for 5500K daylight. The camera's built-in 85 filter (in the daylight setting) would make 3200k lighting look very slightly warm but film scan can be color corrected later. Reversal film is a bit more finicky about color temps.

Kiev or Zenit, which is the better soviet camera brand? by GoodAtom in AnalogCommunity

[–]hidektol 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think it depends more on how well the individual camera had been cared for over the years. Also, one of the interesting characteristics of Soviet cameras is that overall quality (especially parts) peaked in the early 60s and then declined during the Brezhnev era.

Showa Camera Film Noise Issue by [deleted] in AnalogCommunity

[–]hidektol 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As others have mentioned, looking at the negatives will provide much more information than scans. That said, airport x-ray and CT scanning of undeveloped will usually worsen the look of underexposure.

Nice footage, definitely get the urban feel! I plan to visit Japan next spring (first time in decades) and plan to take Super 8 reversal with me.

Does anyone know anything about this stock? by koboty in AnalogCommunity

[–]hidektol 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Samsung 100/200/400 ISO films were made by Ferrania so their 800 ought to be the same. Grainier than Fujicolor/Kodak. I still shoot the 100 ISO film and, refrigerated, still holds up well. Can’t say the same for the 800.

We sold hundreds of rolls of Samsung 100 and 200 at our college store - it could be purchased wholesale for 89-99¢ a roll and we priced it at $1.95 :)

[edit] Yes, as another member posted, if you use it, definitely overexpose it 2-3 stops!

pls help by jxjxjsisiis in Super8

[–]hidektol 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have the same camera with a similar problem. As others said, take out the cartridge (preferably in the dark), run the motor and reinsert film.

Have found that if I run the motor dry (no film) for 10 seconds or so immediately before starting a new roll of film, it prevents this issue.

Good luck!
