Dear Frameworkers,
I have a question about film stock for Super-8mm.
I am back from a scouting trip for a 16mm film project. I did all the
location filming in Super-8mm because I wanted to use the material in
the film as well. I worked with my Leicina Special with a Schneider
Optivaron 6-66mm
Hi Marco,
I've never been happy with Super-8 neg. and the loss of Ekta 100D spells
the end of color Super-8 for me. Even on the most serious Super-8 scanner
I know of in the U.S. at Cinelicious I see what you are complaining about
when it comes to the skies and other areas that should be 'fluid'.
Hi Marco,
Can I ask what f-stop/t-stop you were working with? I find with these stocks it
is very important to use the sharpest part of your lens. With both of these
stocks I like to work with a 5.6 f-stop and use ND's when needed.

Hi Roger,
I was shooting mostly between F/4 and F/8, but sometimes at full
aperture at dusk (clearly not the best condition). You have a point,
regardless of the lens which is one of the best made for S-8mm. The
skies look terrible regardless of aperture: day shoots, sunny or
cloudy, dusk shoots.
Hi Buck,
Thanks so much about your reply. Sharp and really informative. I will
wait for more replies but already want to react to your email.
I had a look at the footage you linked. Yes, the sky looks terrible
when shot with 200T and 500T, even when scanned at Cinelicious.
Consistent with what I
Thanks Dickie, the footage is very beautiful indeed. I can also
confirm that Fuji Velvia is amazing in 35mm slides.

As I said I should make a test Kodak Vision 3 50D vs Velvia 50D...
Thanks again Buck!

Hi Marco,
I just did a quick search and found a very promising test roll of S8
Vision3 50D on Vimeo. It seems to show that the fluidity you're looking
for is possible with this stock:

-I'd love to see the comparison with Velvia you propose.
--Good luck!
