Gian I have been noticing that with your elmo you switch out the lenses, sometimes using a 1.0 (man where can I find one of those.... I only have the 1.1) and tonight the 1.3..Do you use certain ones for certain prints or color processes? Your pics are always so great I would love to be able to capture my films as clearly and vibrantly as you do.
Hi Dino, thanks for your post.
I change the lens depending on the 'surface' I use for the show: Elmo 1.3 for short distance (wall) and 1.1-1.0 for medium/long distance (big screen).
It depends as well on my will to obtain a good result in terms of sharpness and brightness, of couse. You can notice some difference in looking the shots I post: when using the Elmo ST 1200 and a 1.3 lens I'm normally not so far from the wall.
Well, nothing to say when I use my Xenon. In this case the result is always excellent.
Morover, I normally use Elmo 1.3 for scope screenings. Result depends of course on the scope lens I use, but I noticed Sankor 16c/16f on Elmo 1.3 gives such a good effect, avoiding that awful vignetting picture.
I had one Elmo 1.0 lens with my Xenon and found the second one one Ebay. Price is normally high: I've seen one, at the very beginning of the year, sold for more than 500 euro!
Ebay Germany offers sometimes the possibility to find them. Just take a look and good luck. Anyway, your screen captures are good enough to have an idea about your prints ![[Wink]](wink.gif) .

Gian,
That Jurassic Park print looks astonishing
Thanks a lot, Michael. It is indeed. I'm so happy and satisfied with it, after that long nightmare ![[Roll Eyes]](rolleyes.gif) .

James, yep you will be pleased, flawless source material....
Tonight I ran a small Super 8 screening of a few ebay purchases recently, and with it came happiness and sadness, both narratively and personally. First I ran a condensed version of one of my all time favorite films which somehow I have managed to never pick up over the years IT HAPPENED ONE NIGHT (1934) - This 400ft version keeps most of the essential scenes, but it just isn't the same without the full development of their relationship, and of course any line missing from the dialogue constitutes a crime in my book. Not crazy about the added voice over play by play, and there's a good deal of wear on this print so I'll probably have to let it go. Next up is definitely a keeper but I do not believe it is a Blackhawk THE VIOLIN MAKER OF CREMONA (1909) an early Griffith I did not know was released on super 8, and still not sure who released it since the intertitles are clearly remade. A decent if not amazing looking print but the Pickford/Moore films always bring a certain bit of interest to me.

Apparantly, Phil Sheard is just not good at getting back to potential customers, Dino. I asked for him to keep me updated on that Yellowsubmarine release, and have heard nothing.
Bollocks!!
We watched "Little Shop of Horrors" last night, super 8 optical sound. I tell ya, with my Chinon 9500 patched through my dolby surround unit, (with it set on simulated stereo), that soundtrack for Little Shop. was amazimgly good, the best I have ever heard for an optical sound film ... loud, sharp!
