A Minox film slitter

[@VinceSPonki]

Thank you, Mike!.. lm on the way of making diy 16mm cutter from 35mm film. The idea is the same, but the construction differs...Good luck in your hobby!

Fantastic!

[@berlewi]

Many thanks for posting your really helpful video! 🙏👍

[@jporkchop]

Keep posting these! By the way, a roll of 36 Minox exposures, just happens to be very close to the length of the camera measuring chain...

[@m005kennedy]

Thanks. The next video shows me stumbling at loading a cassette. It will take some practice!

[@m005kennedy]

Any tips you could add will be appreciated. I’m sure I’ll do some with corrected technique.

@@m005kennedy I was re-watching this and realized I missed your comment by almost a year. I do know a few tricks with these but I am also learning. I measure film from the slitter with either an already exposed film, 2 pieces of tape on the sink, the camera chain, or not at all. A 36 exposure 35mm film if you double it over in the dark, is about 40 per each half. Hope to see more Minox stuff, I'm addicted to these cameras, and it's nice to see other people getting into them (or back into them, as the case may be). With modern fine grain film it's really astonishing what these can produce.

John Pokrzywa thanks

For 36 exposures, cut 24" of film. I usually cut about 27", just to be on thd safe side. You need a 15 exposure cassette, if you want to make a 15 exposure film. The take-up spool has a slightly larger diameter, on the 15 exposure cassettes. You'll get overlapping frames if you don't.

[@steffenbjoern]

Are you sure? The first 15 pictures on a 15 picture film and a 36 picture film are rolled up the same way. So, no modifications on the roll are required!

[@markmueller5508]

Measure your film stock with a length of string with a knot near each end which you have pre-measured, just like using your Minox focusing chain.

[@m005kennedy]

Great idea

[@Edubarca46]

EVERY Minox camera is worth repairing. Believe me

[@firefly4704]

Could you advise me on how to remove the flash unit from a black Minox B?

[@user-hb7ie5bu9g]

@@firefly4704 uhhh just pull

[@JH-jk1bf]

I wonder if rolling the film can damage the emulsion. What's your experience with this?

[@m005kennedy]

If you roll it with the emulsion sidein it will be fine. Reverse rolling it can damage the emulsion.

[@JH-jk1bf]

Just to make sure - I'm supposed to go with the curl of the film rather than against it, right?

[@m005kennedy]

Yes

Blue Moon is in Portland, OR...

[@m005kennedy]

You are correct.

@@ke6ziu there is a company in Canada I believe. Maybe The Frugal Photographer? I know there was a place that sold Minox in Canada and several odd sizes.

me gustaría poder realizar ese proceso gracias por el video.

Your welcome

@@m005kennedy Is there any way to send me a movie cut for minox, I am in Bogota Colombia

[@m005kennedy]

What do you mean by movie cut? Do you mean the slitter?

[@PerroCallejero]

@@m005kennedy It can be a cutter or reels for the minox ec, in Latin America that is impossible to get and I want to shoot a minox sometime in my life

[@m005kennedy]

Now I understand. You need.a slitter and at least a reel to process the film. Do you have standard stainless steel tanks for developing 35 mm film?

[@stevenpam]

Anyone else trigged by "Mynox"? 😆

[@m005kennedy]

I think you will recover.

[@stevenpam]

@@m005kennedy I'm sure I will! 🤣

Yep....
