Re: [Frameworks] test footage of negative vs reversal s-8mm film stock

Hello Nicholas, (I prefer to cc frameworks rather than not, hoping that this discussion is interesting to everybody). Indeed the best way to use the Leicina seems to be to have two lenses, the Optivaron zoom and the Cinegon. I have looked for quite a while for a 6 to 7mm prime lens that could be

I think you meant to say Leica-M Bayonet Mount which has a slightly larger FFD than the classic C-Mount, i.e (27.80 mm vs 17.53 mm). Using larger format lenses on your camera is actually not a bad idea. This technique utilizes the sweet part of the lens - the optical center with reduced

You are right indeed. My mistake. M-Mount. Those interested in shooting in the telephoto range could put a Summicron lens and use the sweet spot of the glass. Yes the Kish lenses are interesting, but since the camera has a PL-Mount one could use cinema 16mm lenses like Zeiss T*. The problem is

Hello Nicolas, Thanks for sharing your footage. I have never tried the Cinegon lens because as sharp as I read it is, there's something odd to it for me. Firstly because it's a 10mm, i.e. a quite narrower field than the 7 to 8 mm that would correspond to the “normal” field of vision for S-8mm. It

Thanks for your comments Peter, Reversal vs Negative is very subjective indeed. And as I said, the lab did not get the best from the reversal stock because they specialize in negative and are very good at that. When you say the lab hasn't managed to fully remove Rem-Jet are you sayng it is a
