So awesome your film footage. Thanks for sharing. Really interesting seeing the vintage quality which is unique to these tiny format cameras and has great charm. I am getting ready to try for the first time with two vintage 8mm cameras just purchased, a Bolex and a Keystone. Looking at getting film from Analogue Wonderland, can you tell me where in UK to develope and scan. What are the most cost effective ways to go about this. Currently I don't have projector and would want film scan on USB. What are the costs involved? Is B&W cheaper overall than colour?

I use a company based in London called On8mil. Costs can range from £75-£125 per film but that includes, processing and scanning, digitisation of the film and its return. They currently have 12% off of various packages.

Increíble vídeo 👌🏽😍, acabo de encontrar una Brownie Turret y no tenía idea de cómo funcionaba, me maravilla más entender cómo funciona lo análogo, mucha magia 🪄😸 y la sensación que da el filme del final es muy bella. Gracias por compartir este vídeo 💛

@@clementinavintage9939 Cuando una cámara todavía tiene una película dentro, no puedes simplemente sacarla y esperar ver lo que se grabó en ella. Para ver si se grabó algo, deberá quitar la película en un lugar oscuro y no exponerla a la luz. Póngalo en un sobre o en una caja que no deje pasar la luz. Luego, tendrá que encontrar una empresa que pueda revelar y procesar la película. Solo entonces podrá ver si se ha grabado algo. En cuanto a tratar de grabar con la película dentro de la cámara. yo no lo haría Eso es porque no sabes cuántos años tiene la película y es posible que se haya degradado. Una última cosa, siempre es útil tener un rollo de película para realizar pruebas. Siempre que compras una cámara mecánica, tienes que probar los mecanismos para asegurarte de que la película pasa de carrete en carrete, así que esa es otra opción para ti. Espero que ayude.

Heyy I've recently picked up a 8mm camera and I've read that these cameras wont properly expose the film as the film is 100iso and the camera only goes up to like 40 iso Ik just wondering did you shoot it with an ND filter over it or did you shoot it wide open cause it looks amazing

Thanks for watching and commenting. Being totally honest, I generally do a tiny bit of research and then just shoot. More often than not, things work out fine, although I wish I could upload lots of professional knowledge into my head, 🤣 It really depends on the camera you use. Some better quality cameras have automatic exposure, but the ones in the video were just manual. From memory, these cameras had settings listed on the side of them which helped you to understand how to properly expose the film. I just used that as a guide whilst keeping the exposure triangle in mind. I have never had an issue with exposure, more often than not, it’s me making mistakes and learning. And no, no filter used, just used the guide. I always think it’s better to be a a stop under exposed as it’s easier to correct in post. When you are over exposed, you can sometimes lose the image as it’s too bright. Let me know how you get on.

i've just purchased some of this film to use with a Bell & Howard 624, any advice regarding exposure ? Totally new to this and just doing it for fun.

Thanks for watching and commenting. That’s exactly why I do it. All for the fun of it. Just ensure that you shoot in the desired conditions for the film. If your camera has an automatic exposure option, use that setting for one side of the film and see how the camera manages with full automation. Then try the other side in manual and play around with the stops. Also, set the camera to the correct iso or asa as it used to be called, if it has the option.

Hello there. Great video! And love your film cameras! But I'm having a hard time to learn because I have a Tower Triple Len Model T-185 8mm camera. I can't find it on KZread.

Hi, thanks for watching and commenting. Great to hear that you are venturing into the world of film. Well, do you know, the reason I started making videos was because I could never find decent reviews or demos anywhere, of the cameras that I was picking up. I’m sorry, but I have no idea about how to use your camera, but part of the fun is figuring it all out. My suggestion is to check if any batteries need replacing to make motors or light meters work. Also, but some expired film for the purposes of running it thought the camera, to ensure spooling is working as it should.

I understand that Fomopan is thicker than Kodak stocks so it might labor a bit more traveling past the gate.

Can you please help me to understand the lens on these cameras. I am noticing a lot of the 8mm cameras come with fixed focus lenses, do they work 5 ft to infinity and stay in focus even with an adjustable apertures? Are the lens designed to be in focus in all aperture settings, how is this possible?

@ReelFilm2016

3 жыл бұрын

Thanks for watching and commenting. Good question. I’m am by no means an expert but I’ll try and answer your question. So the cameras that I used in the video, their lenses are fixed. You can’t amend the focus and you can’t remove the lenses. The only way things will go out of focus is if you move too close to something, but even then, it’s not really out of focus, you are just too close to the subject/object. The aperture control just allows for more or less light to enter the camera, which can help with better exposure. Remember, aperture control isn’t about focus, it impacts on the depth of field/light coming into the camera. I have a Kodak super 8 camera which doesn’t even have a manual aperture switch. However, I do have other 8mm / Super 8 cameras that were the more expensive models back in their day which does allow for more control. I’ll post the video which includes my Kodak Super 8 camera and the superior Canon. kzread.info/dash/bejne/dpmXpqaNnajgh7g.html Oh and this is another camera which allows for more manual control. kzread.info/dash/bejne/nZmLpNumYJWxf9o.html Let me know if this has helped you.

I am currently fascinated with these tiny wind up 8mm vintage cameras and have recently purchased a beautiful crafted Bolex Paillard 8BL with a 13mm lens that has aperture control on barrel and fixed focus.

@@user-cz6kw9zq5u Hello, thanks for watching and commenting. Well, it all depends on what model of camera you have. Some 8mm (usually the older ones) have handles on the side which have to be cranked in order to create the tension for the reels to turn. Some cameras required batteries for the light meter. I have an 8mm camera that also requires D batteries. Give your side crank a number of turns until it starts to offer resistance and then press your shutter button and it should start to rotate the film rods. Let me know how you get on.
