Kodak Jittery Cartridges

[hightreason]

I used a Sankyo mf 303 camera. Do you think it could be a loose or bent shutter?

Ya cannot see anything thru the viewfinder, as ya only see a part of the light coming thru the lens or, with Beaulieu cameras, the complete light coming thru the lens reflected by the shutter mirror.
Ya cannot see, smell or hear anything. Everything seems normal during shooting. The surprise you?ll hold in hand after developing - ya probably will promise to yourself to drink less cans of beer and to smoke less cigarets during the next shooting!

[S 8 Booster]

Got my first 03/2004 batch S8 film back today. There was jitter OK but not constantly. Only a couple of frames now and again.

If it dont get worse on later films it is kind of OK for basic home movies (charming) but won?t be good for more serious work unfortunately.

Hoping it wont get worse on later cartridges.

Tested 1/1 available.

This film was shot with an Elmo 1012 XL that has dead stable registration on previous older footages so there is something not quite right on this S8 batch of cartridges.

Just saw about 1/2 of the black and white footage I shot for Ebay Television, and I must of been lucky, didn't see any major jitter action. There were a few shots that were bouncy, but Im assuming it due to zooming in and shooting handheld.

Hello TOM Have you found a UK source for Super 8, I know a groovy shop in Margate for Camaras and also Jessops carry the Super 8 film although they only had one in stock when I last went their but at least it was in the film fridge which is always a bonus. especialy with the loverly 6x4 mm picture thing going on, ahhh the loverly nature of it , he he . what i want is the Negative film as I have been told it has loverly high quality, can you get pro 8mm film in the UK ?

cinistu,

I was more refering to not being able to get k40 in quantaties of a few dozen from wholesalers (?6 rather than ?12) as their supply seemed to have dried up.. Hopefully stock will begin to filter through soon with the good news in the other thread

I believe pro8 stock is available from the Widescreen centre (nottingham & london), although I am prepared to be corrected on this, not having bought any.

Tom
