I correct myself: the student hits record when he means to stop recording, he hits stop when he thinks he's recording.   There was no video.  It was an example Pip gave for some thread a couple years ago. The obsession would appear when the mistake is adopted as that which is of primary intere

Ahh interesting. That example clarifies a little for me. I see how it applies to your criteria: "given a certain context of achievement, would indeed appear to be a failure, but in which . . tadaaa! . . the artist has moved beyond" but not how it constitutes "a strange space occupied by a partic

Thanks.  Pip once replied to a post with an example.  A student using a camcorder hits play when he intends to stop and stop when he intends to play.   Imagine that going on for some time.  The result would be an example of what I have in mind - impossible to take much credit for!  And yet . . it

I should have added that I totally agree with Jeff. For example, a micro-nikkor 55mm with PK-13 bellows against an ES-1 slide copying adapter against a light box, or a window with overcast sky will already do an excellent job. M On 26 November 2013 21:41, Marco Poloni wrote: > Three years ago I h

Three years ago I had a 16mm frame scanned on a Scanmate machine, which is a drum scanner for photography. The depth and resolution was unbelievable. I had a 4ft wide print made of it, the picture held together. I can upload a sector if you are interested. Best, Marco On 26 November 2013 19:20, Je

You could try sandwiching the super 8 film in a cardboard 35mm slide mount, then using an old fashioned macro-bellows on a dslr. I've gotten some very interesting results with a bellows and my Pentax *ist DL, but I was going for abstract/experimental not reproduction. however I was able to get pret

The Duplikin and Testrite devices are junk. I used a Duplikin a lot, and it was quite terrible. You will get better results using a DSLR or SLR with a good macro lens (or extension tubes, or bellows) over a light box. Doing a high quality digital scan will give the best results, of course, but

In addition to the Duplikin there was also the Testrite Cinelarger that was intended for single-frame blowups of movies. You could really use any slide duplicator, though. However you will not be pleased at blowups from 16mm originals let alone 8mm originals. It's always good to shoot some p

The device is a 'Duplikin II' made by Century Precision Cine/Optics. It can be fitted with various adapters to suit a particular 35mm SLR. Results aren't likely to be as good as a direct scan of the Super 8 film, but it avoids having to cut the film. - Original Message - From: Ken

Use a 'duplican', which is a tube that fits onto a 35mm camera body. There is a door/window at the end where a 16mm strip of film can be positioned on any one frame. So the area that gets photographed will be larger than one super 8mm frame. But once you digitize the camera negative at any finer
