I'm thinking of applying lubrication inside a 514XL to reduce its noise level as much as possible. Any advice on where and how to do this, or if it's advisable? There's nothing wrong the camera but I sometimes use it in extremely quiet environments and it's just loud enough to cause a bit of disturbance.

Most cameras have the light measured after the tungsten filter so when removing the filter it automatically adjusts for that. In this case it's made more complicated because by removing the tungsten filter it also needs to remove an ND filter.

@madscienti11 Жыл бұрын
What are you trying to accomplish? The lens of this camera (and other super 8 cameras) is only designed to cover the 8mm frame, so you'll get a tiny circle in the middle of your mirrorless camera's sensor. I'm assuming that's not your goal?
@buddymiles7210 Жыл бұрын
@@madscienti11 I thought with creating an adapter, the correct flange distance might be able to cover the sensor. Ofc this would increase the focal length but yea. I wanted to simply adapt the lens to my camera
@madscienti11 Жыл бұрын
@@buddymiles7210 I don't think you're going to get a result that you'll like. The focal length of the lens won't change-it's an optical property of the lens itself. You can try and do the math yourself, but if you move the lens far enough away from your sensor to cover the whole thing, it'll be a super-macro-only lens. Let alone the issues of actually disassembling the lens from the camera... What is your goal? Are you just looking for a fast lens? The reason super 8 camera lenses can be so fast is because they optimize for the tiny coverage of the 8mm frame.

I think the 518AZ is totally different from the 514XL-if you're mechanically handy, you could try taking the camera apart. honestly, a lot of people get by without ever using the power zoom so that's probably what I'd suggest, especially if you're not as comfortable with repair.

Hi Johnny, I don't know much about the 512XL model, since I don't have one, but it sounds like your motor isn't making enough torque to turn the film cartridge, or the cartridge is internally jammed. If you manually advance the cartridge with your finger, does it turn freely?

Hi, I was wondering how you manually expose the image like how are you meant to know f stop will be good lighting. Also how do you make sure your diopter is focused to ensure focus shots
@madscienti112 жыл бұрын
Hey there! For manual exposure, you'll need some way to meter light: you can either use a dedicated light meter, a phone app, or there's a way to "guess" called sunny 16. (In this case though, since the camera has an auto mode, I'd always use auto mode over guessing). If you change the shutter angle or framerate, you'll change the effective shutter speed, but full open at 18fps is roughly a shutter speed of 1/40 sec. (155 degree shutter angle/360 degrees * 1/18fps) To ensure the diopter is focused, I'll go to a place where I can see something very far away, zoom all the way in, set the lens to infinity and then adjust the diopter until the image is sharp.

@@moonrabbitpictures6595 You can use the same math for 18fps as 24fps: 155/360 * 1/24 = ~1/56, or close enough to 1/60 for your meter. Again though, that only works if you have the shutter angle set to fully open. Each stop of the shutter angle setting will increase the effective shutter speed by one stop (so, 1/125 and then 1/250).

Hi there! Based on the body style, the 512XL looks more similar to the 814E or 814XL than the 514XL. My best guess from your description would be that there's a little gear that engages the zoom and it's either misaligned or stripped.

@madscienti112 жыл бұрын
I've never tried a 1218, but from what I've seen online, I don't think the 1218 is worth it over the 1014E. The 1218 has fewer features and requires mercury batteries-and as I mentioned in the video, I really use the wide angle end more than the zoom end, so going all the way to the super high zoom of the 1218 doesn't really have a huge appeal to me.
