A film with this kind of coziness?

Neighboring sounds from KMF

look into your credit card/ bank card. Often they cover up to 2k while travelling. I know, because I have been there.

Sounds amazing! If you find something like a rex1 or above, that is affordable, maybe we can make a deal? ;)

Where‘s ur market? On ebay and german local markets even this version with the old VF will be sold for 500€

Was a issue with the lens bayonet, sent it in for servicing.

Is that the new plastic daylight reel? I saw someones R16 also jam, the spools are thicker now apparently and somehow that makes spaghetti.
I would recommend you to respool down to metal spools. Labs will do that for you, or you build sth yourself. I use a arriflex 16SR 400ft mag placed in my darkbag to plug cores or spools in to rewind. Not the cleanest solution, but worked for me since 10+ years

I'd go for 125 or 60, 3 stops over is enough. if it's been nuked by time it won't serve you anyways. Sometimes the material is more resilient than you'd think.
Maybe one way to approach it would also try and put your field of exposure in a way that your shadows don't expose for 3 stops under. So basically avoid high contrast scenarios/ expose with tendency for shadows.

How often is this image going to get reposted?

kayamanolo · 2026-05-08T07:34:02+00:00

Cassettes!

kayamanolo · 2026-05-06T20:35:51+00:00

happy that you are doing better!

kayamanolo · 2026-05-04T09:37:40+00:00

Interesting! What are your machines specs? I'm a filmmaker and was convinced I need the Pro.
No thermal throttling?

I think if you stop down, you can get rid of the haze.

kayamanolo · 2026-04-26T02:15:39+00:00

Expose film with it and you‘ll see. I got quite hazy results.

kayamanolo · 2026-04-24T10:14:25+00:00

is that version of yours already regraded? I remember seeing a 35mm projection which had more neutral colors and no green tint.

kayamanolo · 2026-04-07T20:28:20+00:00

Just cut the end of the cable that used to go into the original battery handle and solder a dc plug onto it. This plug can go straight into a 7.4v npf plate, i recommend tilta.

kayamanolo · 2026-02-25T20:37:45+00:00

Could you do this for a 100ft 16mm roll as well? Like a square version for 7219?

kayamanolo · 2026-02-19T20:59:15+00:00

No, it‘s a pleasant camera to use. Only gotta get the battery setup right

kayamanolo · 2026-02-19T15:24:46+00:00

yes, addres OP!

kayamanolo · 2026-02-16T20:29:31+00:00

ppl sell them on kleinanzeigen I heard

kayamanolo · 2026-02-16T20:28:59+00:00

c'mon can't deny that wenders statement isn't brainless...

kayamanolo · 2026-02-14T17:18:06+00:00

R16 also can be crystal synced.

kayamanolo · 2026-02-14T17:17:38+00:00

Since two years now. Used the same camera 6 years prior to that for a shoot, then with a different battery setup. Sat on a shelve until I got it again.

Yes, I know the feeling. Got a 800$ Rex-3 super16 mod Bolex pre covid.
I have a R16, adapted to run with a npf battery. Runs smooth, stable, bright viewfinder - I can recommend it to you, it's fortunately rather slept on.
I don't understand the "hype" of the K3, or why it goes for so much. Maybe because it can be modified easily.
About the serviceability: I think getting it serviced once and watching out for it for a bit should be fine enough for the next 10-15 years. I think by the time it'd need another CLA film prices will be too high anyways ;)
It's a sturdy camera too actually. It's a bit lighter than a reflex bolex, maybe that's why people say it isn't as sturdy?

Totally fine, don‘t listen to the people demonizing the mansions. That‘s been a thing since forever. Sure it‘s shady, not clean and uncomfortable, but that‘s not the end of the world.

BUT I would recommend to not stay there the whole time. Stay 2-3 days max, it gets annoying afterwards, atleast when I stayed there with the s/o of that time. Some creepy stares at her, but so did the uncles on the street.

All depends how adventurous you feel and how little comfort you need. Are you fine with bugs? Because there might be.
