It's not hard to make BW photographic film; I have done it. But it is
extremely, extremely hard to make perfect film that is just the right
dimensions for motion picture work, has perfect perforation, no emulsion
defects, and controlled sensitivity and curve shape roll after roll.
This fine
Hello!
I've heard people talk on this listserv about converting Bolexes (Bolii?) to
Super-16, and I'm curious if it's possible to do the same to an Arri SB.
I'm based in Minneapolis, so I guess there are two questions: 1. how much would
it cost? and 2. who does it in the US?
Thanks!

Hi Kevin,
I'm my experience, it's fairly impractical to covert the Arri S series -
The theoretical shutter, mount, and gate adjustments make it more or less
the most difficult camera to consider for Super 16. Visual Products in Ohio
developed a conversion process, which supposedly yielded a few
Hi Erin,
7363 is orthochromatic and is process until completion, so you can't *really*
overprocess it. It is extremely forgiving in terms of time and temperature. I'd
recommend processing under a safelight so you can watch the process. Using a
paper developer such as Dektol will afford you a
I’ve used Dektol with hi-con plenty, but my experience is that exposure times
are VERY short, definitely less than 1 min with the chemistry at room
temperature, even when I dilute the developer. (It slows considerably as the
chemistry gets exhausted, of course.) I rate hi-con at ASA 12 when I
At Evergreen we've been processing 7363 in Eco-pro paper developer with good
results (the darkroom in Photoland has both red and amber safelights). I use
trays for short strips and buckets for longer lengths. Processing time is
about 2 minutes for good blacks, sometimes a little less. I
