Our Friend Janice recently said that she has acquired a 16mm CRI splicer, and that she already has a super 8 one. The point of my thread is this, (& i know it is only personal opinions on this), i have used the quick splice tapes for over 30 years, we cut them into two so apart from lasting twice as long they only cover two frames. Better for the projectors gate as well. I bought the fujica a few years ago now but i have to say i just simply dont get on with it that well. At present i only use it for the actual cutting as it does give a perfect cut,(being brand new when i purchased it).
So, can someone tell me the main difference between the CIR and Fujica please? Although happy with the old quick splice we cant get blades anymore for the old splicers we have, hence why we use the fujica for cutting only, What i dont want to do is buy a CIR later, (if i can find a good price one) only to find out its the same as my Fujica. The problem i seem to have is the weird way you pull the tape, line up the sprocket holes then have to lift the film to fold the tape around, most of the times the holes arnt aligned. It should be a simple task but it isn't.
An interesting point here, i recently bought a film which was joined up onto one reel. The tape joines were the best i have ever seen, 4 frames cover perfectly but the tape did not go over or around the sprocket holes.
