New Precision-Made Pressure Plate for Super 8...

[Alex]

This is the first I've heard about it...anyone know anymore? (Thanks Rubento for mentioning your NIZO 6080 was for sale and in the process mentioning the Andec pressure plate)

The Andec plate has been out awhile now but I still have not seen any user reports.

Looks like a cool addition to super 8...I wonder what the cost would be in dollars? If it's 150.00 or so , I would hesitate...but I would pay 75.00 for it. I did have one instance of sharpness decreasing on my last film roll, just for a second, that was the bad roll I got back from Walmart..my camera has never done that before, not sure if it was the camera, or something with the processing. mike

I wonder if we can take the pressure plate to "Petsmart" and have them engrave our name and phone number on the backside in case we leave it in the Super-8 cartridge by accident. [img]wink.gif[/img]

How about "Things Remembered" at the mall? They engrave too! For 165.00, we'd be having a little "inventory list" before the film went to the lab!
