I will start to digitized with the Somikon and I'd like to summarize all hints in this thread.

Put the the somikon in a 30° angle
Put a clamps on the left side of the film gate
Stop the right wheel and let the film fall in a bin or box
Use the current 20p firmware and try to recover deleted original jpg from the sd card
OR use the hacked wolverine firmware on the somikon for direct HD
Use Neat Video v4 to reduce the noise
Use FC or Film9 or similar tools to get from 20p to 50p

Did I miss something or is there anything wrong from this list?

You mean artifically increasing the framerwate with motion prediction? It can look pretty unnatural. I used to do it but lately stayed with the original 16/18p.

Thanks Werner for your reply.
This means you stick with your recommendation from the last post of this thread but without transforming to 50p

This means for me the other things are good in your opinion?
Do you have opinion about Film9 vs Neat Video v4?
