Thanks Robbie, its a H16 Rex 5 Bolex. I've used this printer setup to
successfully do straight 16mm work in the recent past. In trying out the Super
8 gate I have not yet printed any film.
JK recommends a 50mm lens with ballpark distances of 9" from gate to gate, with
a 1.5" tube extension and a bellows size of 3.5". This gives me no discernible
image looking through the viewfinder.
However I can get an image in focus with a distance of 7.5" between gates but
this leaves the lens & camera near the maximum extension possible on the rails.
This would be fine but it doesn't quit fill the frame in the viewfinder.
I'm guessing I need further extension tubes.
John

Subject: Re: [Frameworks] JK printer settings for 8mm to 16mm blowup
What camera are you using? Is it a bolex reflex? Can you see the image through
viewfinder? And if so, is it in focus when youve sot your previous outoffocus
attempts?

Hi Frameworks, I'm at last attempting to do some Super 8 blowups to 16mm but am
confounded at finding the right printer/lens/bellows configuration. I've
attempted to do the setup recommended by JK at:
