Re: [Frameworks] Seeking Projector Manual (Eiki EX-2000A)
Hi Steve, Someone on this list can likely help. http://www.16mmdirectory.org/projectors/eiki?country=US I've not talked to Richard for some time, but I know he ended up with a lot of parts and manuals (directly) from Eiki USA. Last name is Patchett, listed under RC's Classic Collection. Optech and other vendors on the list can likely assist as well.

I usually recommend Urbanski, and agree with Scott that Cardinal is a good shop, though I'd be surprised if they have any small, portable projectors or would be willing to service them. http://www.16mmdirectory.org/projectors/eiki Eiki SL or SSL are good machines. Not manual, but a good alternative. Just remember to engage the film loops, then manually advance to make certain the loops are formed properly and the claw is engaging the film perfs before switching to the "ON" position.

Most labs can make black leader for you. Try Cinema Arts, Cine Lab, Colorlab. Since Kodak stopped making black leader for A or A/B rolling, obtaining this material is now more expensive.

Re: [Frameworks] making my Eiki lighter
Of the SSL parts, the transformer, and the fly wheel are the heaviest. Don't think you want to remove those. Other things you could remove, actually have some function use, so I don't think you'd want to remove these either (elevator foot, carry handle). There is a lot of plastic and aluminum on that machine, so it's pretty light as is. Hokushin made a slot load that was slightly smaller and weighs less than the SSL, though these are not as easy to find when compared to the SSL.

Re: [Frameworks] Correction: Eiki/Hokushin service recommendations?
For Eiki, you might try Urbanski. The following is a list of Eiki service providers. I've used a few of them, perhaps others on this listserv can chime in if they feel strongly about one vendor over another. http://16mmdirectory.org/projectors/eiki Hokushin will be tough due to parts availability. Rangertone was the last service center, and they've been gone for some time. No idea where those parts ended up. Great projectors, maybe even a tad better than Eiki but don't know many people servicing them. You could ask RFS near Montreal. Super 8 Reversal Lab in The Hague rents three models of Hokushin xenon and might have a good source for parts/service. You could also post your question to the collector's list run by Urbanski - 16mmfilmtalk.com.

I don't know if anyone else is already doing so, but I'm tempted to try to put some money down, spool those stocks down, then sell them off for what 400' or 100' might have cost. Would people be interested in this, and does this seem like a viable plan? I feel like there are some labs that might do this already, but maybe what kodak needs is a middle man? You might contact Elena Rossi-Snook who is heading up the Film Advocacy Task Force as part of AMIA's membership. There are a number of things in Kodak's catalogue (35mm cans 1000', molecular sieves, etc) that have minimum orders higher than what I need. FATF/AMIA is working on a purchasing scheme that can distribute smaller quantities to individuals and organizations.

Just trying to do a little camera test and the rates that I'm seeing are all for timed answer prints, which I don't need at the moment. Last time I checked, there was only one place I could find that would do a direct super 16 negative to 35mm estar print, without going the IP/IN route, and that was Metropolis. I don't think Metro is doing traditional optical work anymore. The price was around $9K. There is a film recorder called the Piql (used to be the Cinevator) that allows you to go from DI to 35mm estar print. Of course you have to have a digital file (DI), which assumes you scanned the negative. The only place I know of in North American that has one of these is Technicolor, and their Piql is not set-up to go DI direct to 35mm print. You could try Janice at Cinema Arts or Dick at Film Technology to see if they can do a direct blow-up, but the price will likely be as much as Metropolis if not higher. I think LIFT has an optical camera for blow-ups? You could fly/drive up to Toronto and use their camera for the price of the room plus stock. Gibbs Chapman in SF had an optical camera from ILM that he was setting up. You might contact Gibbs and see if he is providing this service.

Re: [Frameworks] Worth a look for the film-concerned: Tarantino taking over the New Beverly Cinema
Let's hope the new 16mm projector that gets installed at the New Beverly is Bond modded Eastman 25/30/40. Whether Kinoton is out of the game with the FP-38E or not, I've seen a lot of inconsistency from one FP-38E to the next (even in top facilities), and convinced it has design flaws. The FP-38E dialed can look super bright, with impeccable edge to edge sharpness, and mostly steady, but not as steady as the modded Eastmans. Best projection of 16mm that I've seen was in the larger theater at Gene Siskel Film Center, the Bijou at CalArts, and at Harvard Film Archive, all Eastman installs by Bond. The Siskel and HFA installs are particularly impressive because the image is so damn tall. I don't know the exact specs, but I'm guessing close to 20' high for 16mm. Alain On Fri, Sep 5, 2014 at 11:20 AM, Mark Toscano filmobj...@gmail.com wrote: For those not in LA or not familiar with the New Beverly, it's a longtime, beloved local rep house that still does classic double feature programming, mostly on 35mm. In fact, they only got a DCP-ready projector a few months ago for the first time. Quentin Tarantino has been the benevolent landlord of the New Bev for seven years now. He bought the building to save it from being turned into condos when Sherman Torgan, the New Bev's programmer/operator died. Since then, Michael Torgan (Sherman's son) has continued to run the New Bev in the tradition of his dad, as a classic rep house, and Tarantino paid for a bunch of upgrades to help them out. Anyway, on the heels of Tarantino being one of the high-profile directors who essentially made an ultimatum to the studios about continuing to support 35mm and Kodak, this news (via an interview with Tarantino) showed up in the LA Weekly: http://www.laweekly.com/publicspectacle/2014/09/05/quentin-tarantino-on-his-new-role-running-the-shows-at-new-beverly-cinema I thought it'd be relevant here, because although the New Bev hasn't traditionally shown any experimental work, this is a particularly big commitment to film-only exhibition (including 16mm) in 2014.

I've had issues with ORWO in another camera as well. I've had few issues like this with Kodak BW stocks. Also, with Kodak, being in education, I get a discount which makes it lower in cost than ORWO. I've been shooting a project that uses Double-X (7222), Tri-X (7266) processed as negative and ORWO's UN54 and N74. When all of these stocks are printed to 7203 the differences are pretty slight. I don't know what labs are printing to ORWO's BW print stocks... though I would be curious to know, since 7203 and 3302 may be put on the chopping block soon. Ferrania (http://www.filmferrania.it/) might be starting production of color film stocks, but I have yet to see anything...and who knows when such a stock will become available in North America.

Maybe. I'm just so disappointed in Kodak, personally. I meet filmmakers all the time and it's surprising how many completely ignore the fact that there are other manufacturers in the world apart from Kodak that produce motion picture film stock. Some are truly amazed when I mention this to them. True, when it comes to color negative stocks, Kodak are the only source at the moment. For everything else, there are options out there, luckily. It is a little complicated with Kodak's recent discontinuation of stocks. I like ORWO, however ORWO stocks -- both UN54 and N74 -- do not run through one of my cameras without needing to make adjustments for running color vs. BW. I've had issues with ORWO in another camera as well. I've had few issues like this with Kodak BW stocks. Also, with Kodak, being in education, I get a discount which makes it lower in cost than ORWO. I've been shooting a project that uses Double-X (7222), Tri-X (7266) processed as negative and ORWO's UN54 and N74. When all of these stocks are printed to 7203 the differences are pretty slight. I don't know what labs are printing to ORWO's BW print stocks... though I would be curious to know, since 7203 and 3302 may be put on the chopping block soon. Ferrania (http://www.filmferrania.it/) might be starting production of color film stocks, but I have yet to see anything...and who knows when such a stock will become available in North America. I'm not disagreeing with you necessarily, I just think that ORWO and Ferrania will have to prove they have the same level of QC as Kodak does (and Fuji did). Not that Kodak is/was flawless, but it's amazing how close to perfect they can get in manufacturing their stocks.

Re: [Frameworks] Modern 16mm features, distributed on film
Hi John, Feature is a somewhat broad term, and speaks more to run time than form/content, but given your examples, I would assume you are asking about experimental features?? The exact run time of a feature also seems to be dictated by market/venue. Some say 40 minutes, some 60, and the industry state side usually says/said 70+ minutes. There was a surf film (*Hangs Upon Nothing*) that was shot on 16mm and distributed as a 16mm print during the last couple years (2013-2014). This is obviously pretty rare. Shooting on 16mm is not uncommon for ski, snowboard, skate and surf films, but in recent years even shooting on 16mm has become less common, coinciding with the appearance of RED and GoPro cameras. I'm glad to see Charlotte mentioned Betzy's recent work (*Voluptuous Sleep* I have yet to see), as well as Amanda's mention of Barbara Sternberg (*In The Nature of Things*, 44 minutes) whose longer form work, I feel, is some of her best. On the shorter side of features, there is Thom Anderson's *Get Out of the Car* (2010, 34 minutes), which I believe exists as a 16mm print? Has any of Kevin Jerome Everson's recent work (*Quality Control, The Island of St Mathews*) been distributed as 16mm? In addition to *Molussia*, maybe Pip has other examples of recent European work? Adam Sekuler watched a lot of films come through NWFF in recent years (before his departure), and might also have some additional examples.

Re: [Frameworks] AC/AC 1500W converter query
Not so much a response to this post... but to the previous lamp brightness post... I have a projector that uses a rheostat to up the voltage sent to an ELC lamp. It over drives the lamp voltage, but just slightly, say 24.5-25V. There is a point at which you can push the lamp near the breaking point. If sending too much voltage the lamp will blow... but just a little over 24V and you're increasing brightness without blowing the lamp. If it shortens the lamp life, I haven't noticed it. Not certain how this would work with the on-board transformer of a Eiki SSL or Kodak Pageant or whatever you're wanting to use, but if you have a machine to sacrifice, you might try a rheostat. There is also David's suggestion of the higher output ELC (more lumens), or the suggestion of a 2 blade shutter (if you currently have a three blade), and using a fast lens... most 38mm and wide angle lenses will be f1.5 or slower, but if using an Eiki with an ISCO 35-65, you get f1.3, or if you have a longer throw, a standard, large barrel 50mm lens is usually f1.2 (Eiki, Bell Howell, etc). Then, as others have mentioned, there is the gain (reflectivity) of the screen, and the darkness of the room. Image size can be another indicator of brightness, one needs to right size the image according to the power/efficiency of the light source available. With xenon lamp houses, a lot of time can be spent aligning/adjusting the lamp and lamp reflector for optimum efficiency... focusing every bit of light on the gate without spillover.

What I am unclear on, is A) if it is working correctly, and B) if this is something I can use overseas in 220V land to run projectors. Will it take 220V input of power? When I plug a conventional desk lamp in (a device I am willing to risk!) with 60W bulb using 120V power (US/CAN standard) These are the results: without converter - standard light output with converter set to 110V - much much brighter with converter set to 220V - very dim I haven’t kept it on for an extended period, but do these results make sense? Of course, I don’t have 220V power handy, so I can’t test the power input end, though I could maybe try plugging it into a clothes dryer plug (220V) with a plug converter… At $10, no big deal if it is just a heavy useless brick, but it seemed worth looking into.

It includes cut or modified rollers, and insert optic, and (I believe) washers to raise the height of the prism. The image ends up being smaller on the screen in order to fit full frame 1.66 inside the 1.33 viewer. Steenbeck's official version of this include a lens manufactured for s16, and a widescreen viewer, which is indeed rare, though I heard they can be made to order for $s. Any other new ways to put these machines to good use? Many folks use the Steenbeck as a printer.

Re: [Frameworks] 16mm graflex / singer / telex projectors

Seems to be easier to find zoom lenses for them, and they seem pretty smooth, adjustable pressure gate, and some have silent options too. Saw David Tetzlaff post about them with good words in the archive; anybody dislike them for any particular reason? (other than heavy and uses older bulbs) The following list includes service and parts for the Singer/Telex/Graflex projectors. I assume you are talking about the Graflex 900 series? http://www.16mmdirectory.org/search?q=singer Chuck Hessinger had a large collection of parts for these machines. You might want to contact him to ask what he has in stock for the projector you are interested in or have. I had a Graflex once, I think it was a model 920. One thing I wasn't too impressed with was the threading path, which to my memory was not as accessible as the Pageant. I always prefer a projector that makes the film easy to load and remove from the gate and thread path. This also makes it easier to clean the entire thread path (not just the gate). I seem to recall that even the manual loading Graflex did not make it easier to access the entire thread path, but I might be wrong here, as it has been a long time since I have used one of these projectors. The 900 series Graflex lens has a barrel diameter of 1.184, compared to the Pageants 1.156. I bet you could remove the lens housing on the Pageant, take it to a machine shop and have the shop open up the len port enough to fit a Graflex zoom lens. With the Pageant 250S you have a cooler EJL quartz lamp (I've also used ELC in place of EJL). The Graflex is going to use a much hotter incandescent, and why have all that heat near the film if you don't have to. The Pageant may have it's problems (the lens being on the top of the list), but it just might edge out the Graflex for the reasons I stated above.

Re: [Frameworks] Kodak Is Selling Off Its Legendary Film Business [Photography]
From Jim Linder's post on AMIA (today)... Kodak has announced that it is selling other divisions including Consumer Film. Speculation is that this is due at least partially to low bids for the patents. http://online.wsj.com/article/SB1872396390444812704577607700939340864.html http://www.businessweek.com/news/2012-08-23/kodak-to-sell-imaging-units-as-patent-auction-continues But here is the biggie. According to this article Motion Picture Film is outside of the core and the article continues with a quote that suggests that the business may be up for sale.

Re: [Frameworks] also about the steenbeck in nyc (added info)
The following is simply added info for anyone possibly interested in the Steenbeck that Katherine is trying to move... If it's from the 80s, then it is likely a model ending in 01. 2 plate - model 1201 4 plate - 1601 6 plate - 1901 8 plate (two picture) - 921 Is it just 16mm or 16/35? The 01 models with skirt legs can be broken down into four main parts. Disconnect wires and remove the picture head. Remove all electrical connections tying the legs to the rest of the machine, then unbolt the legs. Presto - four pieces, some of them very heavy, but certainly able to move in a station wagon. Of course, leaving the legs on makes it easier to roll on to a truck, but if this is not an option, taking the legs off can help move it. Furniture dollies required. Model 01 Steenbeks produce bi-phase tach and can trigger synch (as Pip mentioned here in a recent post) to Pro Tools or Soundtrack or other software that allows one to sync to Bi-phase, LTC or MTC. Steenbecks can be converted to cover super16. Paul Tomasko can do this or sell you a kit. Steenbecks can have squared spindles for mounting film reels, which is convenient for inspecting/viewing prints. KEM had round spindles, at least all the ones I've seen, and I cannot recall with the Moviola flatbeds have. --Alain On Fri, Aug 17, 2012 at 12:29 PM, katherine Bauer kittylitter...@gmail.comwrote: Hi All again, So basically -- do not shy away if you are not in NYC...it still may be the best match!

All of the Eiki xenon projectors I have seen are units that use smaller versions of the Osram XBO short arc lamps that theatre systems use. Those lamps can be purchased through any theatre supply (and I recommend the folks at Cardinal Sound and Motion Picture in Maryland but there are plenty of others out there). For example, the EX1500 uses a little baby 300W XBO-style lamp. Although it's tiny, it still has a tendency to explode when it gets old so don't open the case without a face mask, leather apron, and gloves. Use the plastic cover supplied with the new lamp to clamp onto the old lamp and remove it inside the plastic cover. The 300W XBO lamps run around $1200 list... I don't know what Cardinal charges for them these days but give them a call and ask Neil what they have in stock. --scott ___ FrameWorks mailing list FrameWorks@jonasmekasfilms.com https://mailman-mail5.webfaction.com/listinfo/frameworks -- 40 FRAMES Alain LeTourneau Pam Minty 40 FRAMES 5232 North Williams Avenue Portland, Oregon 97217 USA +1 503 231 6548 www.40frames.org www.16mmdirectory.org www.emptyquarterfilm.org ___ FrameWorks mailing list FrameWorks@jonasmekasfilms.com https://mailman-mail5.webfaction.com/listinfo/frameworks

Re: [Frameworks] Discontinuation of Eastman 35/32mm sound recording stock
On Wed, Jul 11, 2012 at 2:55 PM, Mark Toscano fiddy...@yahoo.com wrote: Hi all, Just confirmed with Kodak today that they're discontinuing production of sound recording stock 3378 (for making track negatives) in 35/32mm. They have enough stock left for about 1-1.5 years, based on past sales numbers. 35mm and regular 16mm gauges will remain available. While this may sound somewhat esoteric, 35/32mm is what 16mm track negatives are often shot on, at least here in L.A., where there are still several good sound houses making new track negatives for 16mm. I haven't yet confirmed with a couple of them, but did confirm so far that DJ Audio can't shoot regular 16mm, only 35/32mm, and Pete at DJ thinks there may not be any sound house in L.A. that can shoot regular 16mm. I'll check around with some of the other sound houses though. Pete did say that Agfa makes a 35/32mm sound recording stock, which he's used and thought was perfectly good. So bottom line, this isn't the loudest of alarms being sounded, but something worth noting, at least. Hi Mark, Fuji released a 35mm optical sound stock, however I do not believe it's available as 32/35. http://www.fujifilm.com/products/motion_picture/lineup/eterna_rsn/ Though you might try contacting Michael Bulbenko at Fuji to see if they have a 32/35 version. My understand is that most if not all of those companies shooting optical tracks in Los Angeles - NT, Chace, DJ - are shooting on AGFA 35 and 32/35 stock. Gibbs Chapman in SF can shoot 16mm track, though I cannot recall if he has a 2000' mag or only 1200'. Cinema Labs in Colorado shoots 16mm track, or used to, and I think they are 1200' only as well. Transit Audio in Toronto was doing it for a while but I believe they stop. LIFT would know if anyone is still shooting track in Toronto, or LIFT may now have a camera in their facility. I know there are other places, but I have to consult the list that I seemed to have misplaced. 40 Frames actually owns a Harvey optical sound camera with Maurer F prime galvo, but honestly, it's hard to compete with the cost and level of quality that NT, Chace and DJ provide. DJ in particular can do very good work for a very competitive rate. Actually, I am surprised to here that Kodak would dump 32/35 and keep 16mm, rather than the other way around. Seems like 16mm will be next on the list to go. I know AGFA's sales of 16mm are not good and I cannot image that Kodak is any better, though I would love to hear differently. AGFA comes into the U.S. through HFC, and the minimum orders are very expensive.
