Thankyou for the video! At 4:45 you demonstrate the use of a tele screen, and then explain how the hotspot can be controlled via the use of a replacement dimmable LED light source. May I ask, how does the glass screen differ to the use of a tele screen? Is controlling the hotspot still relevant when using a glass screen? And for all of this, are these products also applicable to digitising 16mm cine film? The quality obtained via professional scanning is clearly far superior. Unfortunately, the number of 16mm reels I want to digitise is too large to make that an affordable option; there are approx. 20x 400 foot reels (ie. reel diameter approx. 18cm), 10x 200 foot reels and something like 30x 100 foot reels. They are all 16mm Kodak stock (the type with the base made from cellulose acetate) and are marked "Koda Chrome" along the film edge. They date from the late 1930s through to the early 1950s, shot by my late step-Dad's father, though most are from the WW2 period (eg. London Zoo in 1941); both men worked at Kodak as research engineers for their entire careers. Thus, my plan is to digitise them myself initially and then later perhaps have a select few professionally scanned, such as the above London Zoo example. Your thoughts, suggestions, etc. would be most welcome.

The hotspot effect be a lot less with adequate (not too much light) light. This is obtained by the special LED: shop.van-eck.net/lamps/p-1a/LE-0001.html This is valid for all type of films: 8mm, 16mm, 9,5 mm ,etc Glasscreens give in most cases a bit better quality then the telescreens. Yes, indeed digitizing using a professional scanner gives better quality. See e.g. www.van-eck.net/ for the digitalisation services we offer.
