Hello !
I'm new here.
I registered to ask a question about digitizing normal 8mm films. They are not many. 2 hours in total, but they are extremely valuable memories to me.
I have a Luch-2 - Russian projector, through which I digitized everything a few days ago. very hard ! On the wall and with a Nikon D750 - on film settings from a tripod. Of course, as the first time - I did not like the result and I want to repeat. the projector is not very good technically and it happens to break the tape .. and this also breaks my heart !
A month ago I digitized all the VHS tapes my family has. Capture card, computer, lossless format , virtual dub , etc.
But.. but with 8mm - things are obviously more complicated.
I read a lot about the chinese Wolverine and its other variants.I decided not to buy and I to try again, but more prepared, and the main thing for me is to take a sprocketless projector so as not to damage the film further.
For the films .. they are not in good condition at all. Over the years I remember that we watched them a lot and they are for cleaning and gluing again. I bought a gluing device /russian / , isopropyl alcohol for cleaning , etc. to restore the film condition and clean it before I start anything.
I plan to do it the same way - a projector on the wall with a DSLR on a tripod. The results are not like in a digital studio, but it suits me.
Оr as Grandpa used to say - let's do what we have to do - to have at least a little, because if we do nothing - we will have nothing.
In this regard , can you recommend me a stable sprocketless projector to use ?
My sister lives in USA and can help.I'm waiting for her to return to Bulgaria in a month or two. She can bring it to me and check it there during the deal ..as far as possible of course.
Thanks in advance.
