@@jcon654 Hello, well before cool apps I used The Mark V. Honestly the app nowadays is probably better. Good for location scout reports and general DP notes. I will say it looks cooler than a phone like our Hollywood idols wore in American Cinematographer magazine. I wear glasses now and it would be harder to use. I haven’t used it in years and sold it. If you can find a deal on one it may be worth having. It’s made very well too. Hope this helps!

@@paulpiasecki great input I super appreciate it. Yeah I’m trying to find every reason to buy it partly because of nostalgia like to what you’re saying about our heroes wearing them but also because I wonder if looking through the glass and shutting out the rest of the world might offer something that could be beneficial to learning the craft. Soon I’ll be directing and dping a proof of concept at a micro budget level so I won’t need to utilize the awesome benefits of the apps. Ah decisions decisions. Thanks again I really appreciate it

Thanks Scott!

Thanks Jordan!

Hello, No it doesn’t, it’s a quality piece of glass, but it only puts an internal mask inside the viewfinder with the various ratios and it can zoom to see the focal lengths.

@@paulpiasecki thanks for replying...

I used the equipment I had available. This was all in good fun.

@@paulpiasecki Absolutely, my comment was not meant as a criticism. What is photography after all if couldn't have fun with it?

Hello, Very cool, I loved 16mm back in the day. This particular film is available, bit the lens on this camera is questionable. I believe its fogged, I tried to clean it. I have other camera to look at that I will get to shoot with and post the results.

😁🙏🏻🙏🏻

B&H has this film.

@@paulpiasecki Oh, cool! Do you have a link? I can’t seem to find it on their website.

OMG Doug! So glad to hear from you! Ha ha that commercial😂

Here it is.. czcams.com/video/COcR2Erpbx4/video.htmlsi=vIosg6Rh6VEL--x5

😂

Dan, Yes I did, did a basic color pass, I think I have to bring the sharpness down a bit more too.

Thank you!

😁👍🏻

Yes I agree. When I bought it, it came with that film back.

Its even worse than that. Yeah, you either need a proSD body or a pros that has had a 6x8 baffle put in (extremely rare but exists), but the main issue is that only some of the lenses have good enough coverage for 6x8. The 50mm for example, is one of the ones where im pretty sure the corners are just barely in the image circle for 6x8, so they would be pretty poor in image quality.

Yes true, it came with the back. Eventually I will get a 6x7 back.

In the film cartridge?

@@paulpiasecki yes in the frame count window. As I know, it marks red when exposure is done

Thanks Tom for this insight!

Ha Yes, other people mentioned I did it the hard way. The first time I opened it was on camera.

Lucy, Yes! You're right, I figured it out after I shot the video. 🙂

Hello, It's designed a bit differently. The biggest change is that it lays flat in the bag, I would say its easier to close.

Your welcome!

Josh, I don’t think so. Although there is a winding knob on top. (Never tried doing that) It’s amazing how well the motor works.

Tom, I’ve never tried it. I will have to take a look. Maybe the mask in the back can be changed?

Tom, found the manual online, you can rotate the mask inside from 120mm to 220mm. Selecting the pressure plate position This film holder can use 120 or 220 roll film. In accordance with the film type used, the pressure plate position differs, neces- sitating the position selecting procedure. As per the following steps, select the pres- sure plate position so that ti aligns with the same numeral (120 or 220) as that of the film type used.

Very cool, my local lab helped me out on the scans since they are bit larger. Glad it was helpful!

Thanks so much Benjamin!

Ha, yes..its a relic now, love my Cadrage App nowadays.

Thank you!

Thank You!

Many Thanks !!

Jose, That's a great idea, I will do that! I really want to give back which I do locally when I talk to younger people in the industry. I'm ramping up this channel so that will be a great way to create some thought provoking content. Stay tuned and thanks!

Thank you!
