Wayne, while I have several digital cameras, including a very nice Sony DSLR, I use a rather primitive Sony Mavica for my screen shots. Primitive, as in floppy disc. The camera has little latitude in settings, but I've been reasonably successful in getting screen grabs. I have a SIX FOOT throw to my projected image, and I have the camera set on auto everything. |

I'm still using an HP Photosmart 318 from 2001. I just turn off the flash. I use a tripod too. |

Yesterday I watched some super 8 sound digests I got recently.... The Formula part 2 - a little faded but in a perfect clamshell case. Elvis Fun in Acapulco - a worn box but a beautiful print! Here are some screenshots of the Elvis film I took with my cell phone camera: Bill

The UPS truck today delivered my newest acquisition--an excellent condition print of Castle Films DUCK AND COVER. The film is a beauty with scarcely any wear and complete from opening to end. I've been looking for a nice print for some time, and it was worth the wait. I snapped these shots just this afternoon:

Bill, I have the Fun In Acapulco digest too. The color has really held good as in your screen shots. My print of the super 8 feature of FIA only has fair color. Chris, that is a classic of the Social Engineering films. What a treat. I've been spending a lot of time maintaining the humble abode, but tonight am having guests over for a film line-up. This is 16mm. First is TWA's Airline Food from 1959, then Corny Casanovas(3 Stooges), then the feature Pick-up Alley from the 1950s in be-u-tee-full black and white. |

My most recent screening was a vinigar print I recieved from a friend and thankfully to AMC just got released on DVD. It is Ginger Rogers in Tight Spot. Watched it with a group of friends around my age that can appreciate older films. The film had heavy vinigar stink but I've soaked it in Filmrenew which helped a lot. Still shrinking a bit. Plan to sell this print in my summer list. It is a wonderful film-noir' print of gangster movies. Ginger really played it heavy and it plays out like a stage film. Still it is very long and a wonderful print. 2 1600' reels and one 1200' reel. Also two months ago showed Beyond The Depths. Another vinigar print but not as bad. A WW1 print about the Japanese not waiting for the war to be over. Clean from start to finish with no splices this print played perfect. |

Just got done showing a print that I got from Urbanski months ago. Didn't have a machine to show it with until recently. Title was Promises Promises with Jayne Mansfield. Was much racier than I thought it'd be for an R rated production of the time period. Still we all had fun watching it. For the record it was super 8mm sound and a beautiful and very clear and dense Niles Print. Original release date was 1961. |

Jayne Mansfield was a very under rated actress in my opinion. I'll watch any of her movies, especially the comedies. The Girl Can't Help It is one my all time favs. |

Roger, how did the 3D effect hold up on prints? |
