I love tipsy Ben yelling at sober Ben...ha ha!

I am 51 lol 😂 I was playing when it first came out.

I hope you do the Minolta XL-601. Great little camera. Thanks for this in depth review of the R10.

Wallaby ??? ... You move to Aussie land mate ???

I have check out some of my uncles old super 8 and 8mm films he made in mid 60s to late 70s and was interested how he managed to insert captions and titles over already exposed film. Without destroying rest of the film. Was this only possible on very expensive Cameras ? Must of been some clever way of rewinding film to double exposure? Some of the results tho look a bit amateurish. But you considering how many years ago they was made I think they look great compare to modern computer technology. Titles on video film

I missed you show live tonight but have watch most of your old shows from the years and so please to hear your back again I found your shows very informative and interesting so much so that I have started looking into using super 8 cameras and projectors as I had a small collection from the 60/70s that was my uncles collection but I never really explore film only video cameras. So it’s nice to get your throughts knowledge of old retro tech that I never learnt about the 1st time around. Keep up the great work.

Mike at Filmboy24 tells how he reloads them

Sorry, I was 20 minutes late. Fantastic show, as always, Ben!

this is awesome. Was about to only choose a 1 stop push, but thinking I'll now do 2. Meter was showing at its lowest so feeling like it'd be wiser to push it than risk not doing so..

Hi Ben, thanks but it's already sold. I do have 3 out of date super 8 films to sell at a good price but with postage from France on top however..

This looks really good. Be interested to see it on rough ground

The amount of thiosulfate in onion is much too low to have significant fixing action, even if you were to use pure onion juice (not diluted into water as with onion broth). Salt water was the first fixer, and yes, it's extremely slow. Other very effective fixers are sodium thyocyanate (NaSCN) and sodium cyanide (NaCN2); these are both extremely rapid working, though sodium cyanide will also bleach your developed silver if left too long, and is hazardous to handle because it evolves prussic acid (hydrogen cyanide) if it contacts any acid (like stop bath!). It's possible to make a fixer from ammonium thiosulfate and potassium thiocyanate that fully fixes even tabular grain films like T-Max or Delta in under a minute -- but thiocyanate is much harder to source than commercial fixer and also doesn't like acidic solutions.

Hi Ben. Do you know anyone who might be interested in buying a Canon 514XL. Original boxed with instructions manual. Cheers Grace

Hello. Your frame is half black and damaged on right side for this reason: load up your film with sprocket hole down side in the spiral.

Hello. Pay attention: It should be better place film with sprocket holes down side to avoid spiral damages exposed parts of film.

I have one of these. The drive battery and light meter battery are missing :( Kinda hard to find the parts online

I got one of these the other day & it keeps showing me an error/trouble sign (similar to an eject button) - do you know what might be causing this? Thanks! Great video :)

Hi what film stock did you use for this? :) so cool

Bless you!

A coop photo lab opened up in my town. I happen to own coolscan 5000 and just found a mid 60's rangefinder in a family box. Time try the fresh brewed arts of caffenol. With my uni degrees in physics and chemistry I should be able to figure it out.

This channel is my catnip.

So basically, you do a double exposure? I need to look up these “reloadable cartridges.”

at 26:00 the aperture index (black triangle) will point in the red zone if underexposed and if overexposed points in the red zone after f45 (far right) - very useful for some of us who are not experts

Slides are always more fascinating than just printed photographs, perhaps because they are viewed in the dark, penetrating the space where it was photographed

I shot some in a jazz club last year, and have continued with FPP 200ASA B&W negative film. No matter how many "filters" you apply, nothing else looks quite like taking a clockwork 8mm camera into a gig and shooting on B&W film.

What is the bleach time ? 3 minutes or 6?

Firstly, it's great to be in this world again after halting my binge of the first three episodes. Tiana's photography is the best yet, however, it could be because of the amount of time spent in locations that have leading lines. Out in the open spaces is always tough in terms of creating depth and pleasing composition. The characters needed something more to chew on, at least if I were to compare this instalment with the previous ones. It seems a little more aimless than it ought to be. What are your thoughts on 'Cows' now that it's over? Perhaps I need to give it another go?

Hey! Very cool! Could I ask where you bought those firecrackers used to blow up the camera :)

Ah, man! The non dialogue idea enabled the images to do the heavy lifting of a really fun story. The amount of comments here alone is a testament to how this episode has been well received. I look forward to more like this. I figure that the camera work here is the best yet due to the ease that comes from working in an indoor location. The consideration in the shots and the sheer amount of them indicates this. I'd love to congratulate you on the surprise beneath the floorboards but that's a spoiler, so won't ruin it for any newcomers. I suspect people don't read comments before watching a video, but you never know. Will return here in a bit and continue my binge. John Clay

'It was then that I realised something very odd was going on.' I loved the oddity of the ending for two reasons: a) the social commentary on the appropriation of US black street culture b) the big wide shot of the mirror rondo world/continuam Is there a reason why Peter chooses to take the photos himself as opposed to having someone else snap them? They do the job and in a few cases really take advantage of the leading lines of each location. However, it must be demanding to deliver on both acting and camera roles. I'd be well up for helping out in that regard if any more episodes are being written. This episode reminded me of a budget Twin Peaks side project, as the Rondo continuam seems to play out like the Waiting Room/Black Lodge in the series. I also think Jim and Heinz give Peep Show's Simon and Jeremy a run for their money. Well done. John Clay

'Fuck the future, and fuck you!' The comedy and intrigue reminded me of the kind of hi jinx that I've seen in Rick and Morty. Some really good cinematography in the shots of the station at the beginning. I'm hooked! John Clay

Welp I FINALLY got a 1014XLS coming! WHOOP WHOOP 🙌

Lichtenstein's finest! -our family had 2, booth produced reasonable results, with fine colour balance on KII. your film might have been victim heat, processing error, or both.

Hi Ben you should review some of the Single 8 cine Cameras someone has designed a reloadable Single 8 cartridge these Cameras we're great for backwinding for double exposure

Found one of these cleaning out a house….. this is super super super cool! Thanks for sharing this vid!!!

grainy but beautifullllll

It looks like a gun. Atleast thats how I saw it when I got my movexoom 2000

5:36 if you look at the top where it says "Sold on Oct 15, 2020" when looking up the V800's, I'm the one who purchased the "top condition" V800. It had a tape bundle, accessories and a book. I got it as a collector's item, and for the tape bundle which turned out to be a bunch of old TV recordings of a channel called "One Plus" "Plus One" I can't remember the exact name it was something like that. The only recording I got from the V800 itself was a 3 second black screen. The camera section was non-functional, and the VTR section was flickery. Defective for sure

What can I do when the viewfinder is showing an “End” message on the 1014 xl-s, even on a new cartridge of film? This prevents the film motor from advancing. Does anyone have advice on how to fix this problem?

I wish it was possible to do a digital cut and finish back to Super 8 film. I do believe there is a company that prints to 35mm film.

Hi Ben great adaptation of two Reversal formats, have dappled a bit with slide film over last 2 years, its great to hold them up to the light & hoping to show some to friends at work who are in their 30's who never seen slides !

Good film I loved it

Fun film!

They advertised this well enough too at the time. Any Agfa Super 8 to 1980 was in their chemicals, they switched to E6 and from 1980 to mid-1986, any fading issues were outdone by yellow calcium and mold issues, which all have the red boxes with thin lettering. the last three series of color Super 8 that followed were much better and all E6. I have a Movexoom 10 Sound model that needs fixed, but is in mint shape. They had to stop producing it early because they got sued by Braun Nizo for saying the design ripped off their Super 8 camera design.

I have a similar one, but the lens fell apart in half because the glue wore out! When putting in the light meter batteries, try both sides, but if it is dead along with the battery tester, well it happens. My motor never seized up and I like that it is set at 24fps only, done to make sure you got optimal sound quality with sound frame speed. The other track on the cassette tape adds a pulsing sound and maybe that zapped your laptop? When Kodak and Fuji came up with magnetic sound in Super 8 & Single 8 cartridges respectively, it made this system obsolete, but it is a real hoot!

Was this originally a color film and if so, was it ORWO, Svema or Tasma?

It is absolutely one of the most unusual 8mm cameras I know of. It's beautiful, and the fact it's from a country with only 30k people is such a fascinating thing. I wonder what other obscure countries have made unusual cameras.

This was SO helpful. Thank you very much.

These are incredible shots. Great channel nice edits. Super8s are something i wish to spend more time with
