Hello John

I can help you as I have a couple of sleeves for the Iscomorphot which will bring its rear barrel diameter up to the 42mm bracket size you already have for your Beaulieu.

I used these myself to fit a couple of Iscomorphots I had years ago to Eiki 16mm projectors - I kept the sleeves hoping they would come in handy one day and it looks as if they now have.

These are free by the way - I can post them to you tomorrow.

Best regards, Kevin.

No I insist John they are free to you - Andrew knows I like to help when I can and I have more films and cine gear here than I ever have time to regularly use so it is nice to make use of such items.

Let me know how you get on with them when they arrive.

All the best, Kevin

I can't say I have seen a standard 8mm Scope presentation so I really wouldn't know how good the image quality would be.
Much seems to simply depend on the quality of the negative used and the resulting sharpness of print based on what Alan was saying regarding Titanic etc etc.

I've heard many wax lyrical about the Standard 8mm image quality beating that of a similar print on Super 8mm David, but in theory, based on the same reasons as to why 16mm image quality generally outperforms Super 8mm, then that should equally apply to Super 8mm film vs Standard 8mm film simply because the image size is larger.

For exhibition presentation, a projector such as any I own David, is far less than ideal as what you really need is the power of Xenon like what Keith uses at BFCC and like what David has presented already at one of your events in the the shape of the magnificent Fumeo 9145 with its eye popping 500w Xenon lamp power.
