Re: [Frameworks] Film Projectors + University Rules
On Thu, Apr 26, 2012 at 9:25 AM, Tom Whiteside tom.whites...@duke.eduwrote: Over the years I have heard many people say they cannot recommend autoloaders, yes I know I know, but I think this is a matter of personal preference. I've been using Bell Howell autoloaders for many years and generally do not have any trouble with them. Many of them have silent and sound speed (important to me), and a variety of lenses are readily available. I agree, it is a matter of preference. I know a number of film collectors in town and elsewhere who use daily their 2592 projectors. If maintained, these machines run very well. My aversion to the auto-loaders, even the manual threading BH 1574/1579 and modified manual-threading 1568, is that it can be difficult to free film from the threading path. Very difficult with BH auto-loaders. I'm one who believes that film should be simple to thread *and* remove from a projector's film path. That's why I've advocated for Eiki SL and SSL, and Hokushin SC-210 and Apollo QL-100 projectors. The Eiki SSL has a built-in line and common 42.5 lens barrel. Kodak Pageants are great in that they're easy on film, have a low-contact silent threading path when there is no sound, and have the sound focus and 18/24 fps operation, but one is stuck with a very poor lens and hardly any options for lenses, and servicing them can be a pain. Slot loaders are not without their quirks, but if regularly service, these machines can run very well, and removing film mid reel is simple. If you are fortunate enough to have a stock of the Marc 300 lamps (beware - they are no longer made) a 1568 or similar model projects a very bright image. Most of the classroom projectors use bulbs that are not as bright, but are easy to find and relatively inexpensive (BHB, EMM/EKS, ELC.) MARC 300 and 350 machines are very usefully, and generally can be found for much less than a xenon and if not running frequently are worth considering for purchase. Xenon has the advantage with $/minute cost, but unless one is running on some kind of daily/weekly theatrical schedule with 16mm, which I don't imagine anyone is, then MARC projectors are worth considering. ANY projector 30+ years old should be overhauled by a competent technician at this point, so go ahead and pay for the new worm gear on a BH autoload and you will have -IMHO - a nice workable projector for many years to come. I'm glad you mention this Tom, as I'm afraid this gets ignored. If donated or found real cheap, a projector should be overhauled before subjecting prints to it. Eikis, Bell Howells, etc where designed to run a million feet of film between service, but they must be serviced and anyone overlooking this is places prints at risk for damage. While (serviced) projectors costing $400-500 might seem expensive, particularly when compared to a projector sitting on eBay for $150, these projectors cost $1500-2000 when new in the 70s-80s. The cost of a fully service projector today is still a bargain.

toilet paper works fantastic, especially in a slight wind (from projector), if you want to go that close to the lens.

They work quite nicely on the Kodak camera, but I recently saw a C-mount adaptor on eBay and was curious if anyone had experience with shooting S-mount lenses on a C-Mount Bolex. Is there a loss of image ? Does the image cover the full frame? I'm curious, so I thought I would ask the experts.
