Hello Georgios, and welcome.

You will find a lot of good helpful folks here regarding collecting and also shooting Super-8 (I am one of the ones who shoots too [Smile] )

What kind of camera/projector do you have, and how do you develop your own Super-8 film?

Claus.

Hello Claus.

Nice to meet you!

I have a Nizo 801 camera,a Minette editor and a Eumig s907 GL projector.I use the Russian LOMO tank and E6 chemistry but im planning to start developing negative film as well in the near future,i have also done a 16mm film but find it too expensive for me...

Thanks for the welcoming! [Smile]

George.

We are happy to have you on our board. Yasou Ellada!
It is interesting to note you process your own films. Very few people do this. Are you able to get results comparable to a professional lab?

Hello Thomas!

In general the results are very good,when the environment where the process takes place is clean , and the chemistry fresh.

I could say that you can compare it to a professional lab.If you are strict with time all goes well,but im always anxious when i load the film on the spirals of the tank [Roll Eyes] ... With time you can even learn to push it to the exact spot you like in regards to contrast and color... Maybe i can post some stills sometime(i do not scan my films but i can take some pictures).

I think that the whole process is much easier than people think,and not something special.Plus you save money!!!and you are able to shoot something in the morning and see it in the evening...a big plus for me!

Thank you
George.

Just in case you'd be interested, there'll be the Film Collectors Convention in London on May 14th-if you can afford it,& have the time,why not think of coming 'round-I'll be glad to meet you,& more
people from Athens will attend,so you can get advice on tickets etc-just log onto bfcc.bizz for details [Wink]

Hello Yannis and thanks for the welcoming [Big Grin]

I live at N. Kosmos area.

The May convention sound a wonderful idea, I dunno how it's going to be money and time- wise...but we'll definetely look into it!!!

What a surprise! Another George that shoots super 8! I live in Kozani, I mainly shoot (haven't tried to develop but own a Lomo tank), and collect as well. Giorgo,Ilia, contact me! I have 650 cameras, 50 projectors and hundreds of films. I want to try to develop but never attempted it...I need a push!
In Kozani, I believe I'm the only one who uses super8, it's so nice to hear that there are actually people that continue (or just started) to shoot film...Very happy indeed! Keep shooting!

Hello George,

its great to see that there actually quite a few people in Greece who love 8mm!!!!

I tried to sent you an email, so we can discuss further, but I can't find your email at your profile.
If you want please click on my name and you'll see my mail address [Wink]

Hello George!nice to meet you here!!

lets get in touch!

What kind of themes do you shoot,i mainly shoot structures,catcombs and thrown away trains in mountains [Smile]
i do some portraits as well...

Can your tank develope 2 super8 films simultaneously?if it is you can also develope 16mm,i once developed a 200 ft of 16 reversal.

George.

Thanks for the info guys, shame I missed you by just a few days-was in Athens till last week-we could have arranged to meet [Frown]
...anyway it's never late-truly hope you can make it to the BFCC in May!
George I can't resist the temptation to ask if you would develop my films--apparently not for free!--& look forward to your pics! [Cool]
...George Pat. didn't know you also had films--for sale too? Think I might PM you on Facebook at some point... [Wink]

Have a good week guys--& keep the film flag high! [Smile]

George,
I'm an amateur home movie maker, which means, shooting kids, family, vacations, sceneries, etc.
My Tank is for one super8 film only, therefore no 100ft 16mm is possible. You have the large tank I guess...
Yani,
not many films for sale I'm afraid, except for some cartoons [Wink]
You're always welcome to contact me for any reason. [Smile]
Keep shooting guys!

George,

any Woody Woodpecker amongst yours for sale? Was my favourite one back in the '80s [Cool] ........
 
Posted by Thomas Dafnides (Member # 1851) on February 05, 2011, 04:58 PM:
 
How much money do you save in processing a 50ft cartridge yourself? And how much time does it take? How many cartridges can you process at one time?
You can state in Euros , I will do conversion. Thanks for any reply.
