Amazing! I really love the idea to bring out the full potential of tiny cameras.

Found the perfect one!

Hi Matt and thank you for your reply. The problem is not necessarily the length of the protruding metal rod but the weight of the cable release as a whole puts enough pressure on the button to release the shutter. I thought about a GorillaPod

The Mamiya 16 has a tripod mount as well as a thread for a cable release on the shutter release button. I bought a cable release from amazon but unfortunately screwing the cable into the release button (top right on this image...

Which one did you use? Maybe I just have to accept that low light is not the strength of 16mm cameras

Did you try Vision3 in 16mm? I don't really want to handle so much chemistry (b&w + c-41) at once, especially if it expires quickly (within weeks) and I don't want to buy a sous vide heater just for bringing the chemicals up to temperature. That's my problem at the moment.

I am not concerned about grain. D96 from CineStill just seems to be pretty bad at handling grain. Perceptol works much better. I want to shoot color but not really developing it myself right now. But I also want to do some night time photography.

Hey it is me again. I am still not entirely happy with my setup. I just shot a few low-light situations yesterday (in a restaurant, on the street with lighting but in the night) and they pretty much all turned out like garbage. A few images even were just totally dark. I think this is partly due...

Hi Scott! Thank you. So would you say 120min is on the safe side for drying?

I have some questions regarding the handling of a negative: - how to you apply photo flo? Do you put it into the last rinse-water or do you apply it directly to the film once you hange it to dry? - how long do you let your film dry? I observed that the majority of the film is dry after 15-20mins...

So you are cutting 1.5mm from left and right instead of 3mm from the center? Very interesting

I don't see them selling any 16mm films. They just list a bunch of films with prices that are no longer available.

Shot of Kodak Double-X in Mamiya 16 Automatic. Development: 1. Rinse film with tap water (20°C) 2. Develop with Ilford Perceptol (20°C) for 7min (10s/min) 3. Rinse film with tap water (20°C) 4. Fixing (20°C) for 10min (10s/min) 5. Rinse 6. Wash with tap water + Adox Adoflo II I mean just look...

I am not sure how to operate this slitter. What is the purpose of the screws on the side? Are they just holding the blades? And to slice a film roll you first lay the film ontop of the blades, then press the black plate from the top and pull the film through?

I mean that's what I have been saying.
