I was home alone again last night. Mrs.E. babysitting, and boy, what a session!
I rigged up the cinemascope lens for a change to see stuff in that format. This time, I connected it differently. Instead of using the whole separate lens and barrel, all I did was use the projector's existing lens on the longest throw, and placed the widescreen element of the lens in front of it on a pile of books, wedged it carefully with blu tak either side to stop it moving once I had framed the picture on screen...then wallop!
Oh my goodness! The result was fantastic. Certainly the best definition I have extracted out of that lens.
So.... to the films... (all cinemascope of course)
The Spy Who Loved Me - Trailer
Lawrence of Arabia - Trailer
Close Encounters - Promo and interviews
The Great Escape - I think this was a 2x 400' but fitted comfortably on an 800' spool
Ben Hur - Full length - in glorious stereophonic sound via headphones.
…...basically.... super 8 heaven!
