I'm not sure how many Frameworks' folks have seen Matthew Epler's open source "film scanner" . It's still pretty new and definitely not for everyone. If you have access to a 3D printer and have some old DSLR's to spare (same shutter life problem), it may be worth a DIY attempt

One thing to be concerned with when scanning reversal originals and prints is to be sure that you can fully capture the entire dynamic range on the film, without sacrificing shadows or highlights. Most telecines can not do this. On Jul 23, 2014, at 7:26 PM, Dave Tetzlaff wrote: > Movette in

Since so many Frameworkers continue to use photochemical film 'acquisition' (sic), and distribution/exhibition opportunities are just getting ever more digital, it would seem that telecine/scan techniques and services are ever more important to our little community. I think it would valuable fo

Hi Ben, As Jeff wrote, do not use a viewer/editor. The much better cheap way is to project the film and shoot it off the wall/screen with a video camera. Jeff's idea of shooting frame-by-frame with a still camera will produce better results, much more slowly. Be warned however if you are using a D

The old fashioned way to telecine is cheapest: project film on to a wall and shoot with your video camera---did it that way for years and still do with student films. Find the shutter speed on your video camera that minimizes the flicker. OR Costco (yes, the big discount chain) offers film tran

Lindsay, I've not worked with Orwo (but have two rolls sitting before me) and I would just use D-19 for the first developer if thats what you have available, if you want to do a custom mix then D-94A is what Kodak officially recommends for B&W reversal 1st developer. But maybe there are some E

Hey Ben, My two cents: I usually use Recipes for Disaster (p. 53-55) as a basic guide for processing times and procedure. Unless you have access to a G3 processing tank (or equivalent) I find that I can do 60ft at a time in 5gal buckets--if i am careful. Unless you are pushing the film in the f

Niagara film labs in Toronto is pretty reasonable. Their telecine is about 20.00 USD per roll, and the transfer is excellent. Dwayne's photo in Parsons, Kansas has a relatively cheaper per roll charge, about12.00, but the quality is so low that I only use it for making demonstration material. Dwayn
