So a set of 2 costs only $2 + $2 shipping? If that's so, it's very cheap indeed and I'll send you money soon too for a few sets

Thanks

That's right Vidar, you get two swatches of gel for $2. Operators are standing by to take your orders. [Wink]

Sent you 20 dollars ... Looking forward to see if there's any difference to the ones I have (3 cyan intensities)

Dirt cheap this was :-)

Any chance of buying a couple of sheets from you? I have a 35mm and the lenses are much bigger :-)

Hi Vidar,

You're welcome Vidar and everyone else who got these. All I've been watching is my old faded films to see what they look like with the filter. I'm way to curious and have been pleased with each one so far.

Everyone should be getting their filters or should have them by now. I took a couple of pictures with my little camera, projected onto a white screen.

I have print of Raging Bull (1980) that is sadly, on fading Eastman stock...or is it really so sadly? Has it's curse been lifted? With the use of this gel that has now switched the film from fading magenta to a much better Sepia tone that actually also looks like black and white. You be the judge of this round...

WITHOUT

WITH GEL

I really kinda liked the film when I first saw it despite its color fading. It also has some Kodachrome shots on the second reel that I could not get to tonight but, will compare as possible. Here is another look:

BEFORE

AFTER

Maybe fading prints are not down for the count? I've seen vast improvements with this filter, I'm testing it every day and here are the first pictures. I've yet to try it combined with other filters. The light output will dim if you do but, this one is the best one I've used on it's own. The brightness dosent diminish but, somehow becomes much more balanced.

SENZA FILTRO

CON FILTRO

What do you think?

I could try Gerald's filter on several prints (as I received my two filters some weeks ago). On light red prints, the filter corrects nicely the picture. On medium re prints, I noticed an improvment but the it was still too red, so I put the second filter provided and it was good. On very red film, there is also a good improvment, maybe with a third filter it would be better but the correction is enough for me to make it watchable. An unexpected effect of the filter is that on some copies, it sharpens the picture. It's propbably one of the best value for money deal you can make. Thanks, Gerald.

They're back folks!

After a couple of years without them, I'll be receiving a shipment of color correcting filters.

Take a look at the details above for information about how you can get a pair while supplies last.

Thanks [Smile]

Give 'em a try and see for yourself, send me a PM and get yours today.

Gerald, the filters must be applied one at a time, and you choose the one most suitable according to the print of film (doing tests)?
And if there is need one above the other? Even two or three simultaneously?
I do not know if I understand correctly. [Smile]

Thank you Gerald, I ordered 2 sets, I know how they work. It's a nicer way to watch faded prints. Glad we can have them through you. Warmest regards, Gilbert

Gilbert and Luigi, thanks for your order.

You should use one filter at a time taped to the side of the projector or onto the lens. I discovered that the green one works well on pink or sepia Eastman, the light blue works well on fair color Eastman or SP.

The cyan transparency works best on Agfa and Fuji that is faded purple. However, there are no rules...try until you find the right one.

Hey Osi,

Not sure what stock Gorky Park if there is still some color left, the light blue one should be alright.

My apologies about your receiving post office with a postage due sticker, all of the envelopes I sent out were weighed and accepted as machinable.

If there are any problems with anyone out there receiving an envelope with a "postage due" stamp, please send me a photograph of the envelope (if you paid extra) so the matter can be looked into and corrected.

Lots of you should be receiving them by now or any day now. If there appears to be a recurring problem with the envelope I'm sending now, I will have to charge the difference of an additional $1-2 in shipping for anyone else that may want them in the future.

But, as of now the price remains the same...so enjoy.

I'll get that photo to you tomorrow, (I'm at the library at the moment with no cell phone to take a photo on me). The only annoying thing was having to walk down to the post office to get my filters ...

But I have them now and eager to check out Gorky! It does have most of it's color, just the blacks aren't perfect. [Smile]

Alan, you can PM Gerald Santana to see if he has any of his gels left. If not, there is a guy on Ebay selling a set with a holder he'll customize the size for your projector or just get the 16mm size.

I just ordered the filter set from the eBay seller who was adapting the holder to my Elmo GS-1200 lens. I'll report back once I get it and screen a few faded film favorites!
