Bolex H8??

Oh no, 77mm is the diameter of the thread at the end of the lens where you screw filters on. The actual M42 lens mount is 42mm.

And yeah, that accessory should work fine with K-3 since the Krasnogorsk has a standard tripod mount.
 
:) Awesome.. because I just found a 135mm 42 screwmount on ebay for like 15 bucks.

So that's pretty sweet. I really want a Bogen tripod but I just spend my money on the Krasnogorsk .. darn.. I don't imagine you know of any good tripods under $100?

Hehe... okay thanks again.
 
Best Buy tripods? :)

Also, why would you need a 135mm? It is quite a telephoto. The normal lens for 16mm is 25mm, so this lens will be like a 270mm for a 35mm camera.
 
lol... extreme close-ups? I wasn't plan on buying it... I was simply expressing my happiness that it is an interchangeable lens system on the camera!!

Hmm.. I'll have to look around some more for tripods, and if you find any good ones within $100, let me know!

Thanks...

It's so funny how fast you made me switch from Super 8/8mm to 16mm... (Actually it's even more funny that I purchased the K-3, canceled it.. wanted a Super8 camera, then I just repurchased the K-3)

Thanks for getting me back into it... I don't think I would be as happy with a 8mm camera.. so cheers :beer:

Oh I'm sure it will!! I've heard it called a tank several times from various people... so it's pretty rugged? How do all the mechanical parts hold up?

Thanks
 
Also.. does it take Fuji 16mm film? I know it takes Kodak, but how about Fuji?

I want to buy Fuji 16mm 250D.. would this work?

Thanks man!
 
Do you work out regularly? If you don't you will be as long as you use this baby. And I wouldn't be too scared to drop it. Or have a truck drive over it.

As to film, all 16mm film is the same sprocket holoe wise. Fuji or Kodak is fine.

Click to expand...

Just a quick note, the K3 has a 3/8" tripod mount, whereas most consumer tripods are 1/4". You'll need little adapter to use it with a normal tripod plate... unless you have a more expensive tripod that allows you to swap out the pins with a 3/8" one. They're available from B&H Photo for $5 or so.

Hey.. what would happen if I just bought some cheap worklights and used it to light some indoor shots with Fuji 250D (or T)....

Would the light come out okay?

Also.. when you buy 400' rolls, how would you use it (if you can) on a K-3 that only accepts 100' spools? Do the 400' rolls come on 4 100' spools or is it just a 400' roll?

Thanks.
 
Well, if you didnt use them as directly harsh light on your subject, they should be ok. (Try bouncing it off a nearby white wall, or shoot the light through a stretched white bedsheet a few feet away from the lights.

Beware however: Cheap worklights often come standard with 3000K bulbs, as opposed to the standard 3200K bulbs. This will result in a slightly more warm color tone to the film. And, if you were to use the worklights you would want 250T (T is for tungsten, D is for daylight.)

When you get a 400' roll of film, it comes on a 400' core usually (sometimes you can find daylight rolls with the "safety metal" all the way over the reel). You would probably have a difficult time splitting that 400' up into 100' reels... since you'd be doing it in complete dark. You're stuck with 100' reels with the K3, but that's not such a bad thing... is it? =)
 
Thanks for the advice! Can you buy 3200k bulbs at a regular home improvement store, or do you have to buy them online?

I found some 250D (recan I think) for $16, but I'm having trouble finding 250T for cheap... does anyone know of a good place that sells tungsten film cheap? (16mm of course!) Thanks!

In regards,
Colin
 
$33 for 250T at the tape superstore... Oh my freak! That's quite expensive!! I'm trying to find 16mm Tungsten film for under 20 bucks... any ideas? Or am I outta my mind?

K, thnks!
