    Modding the Kodak Reels 8mm Film Digitizer (Firmware Hack)

    Hi 0dan0, here some shots of the scans I did with V. 6.0, negative and positive. I graded them in Davinci Resolve. I moved away definetly from Premiere Pro three years ago, I've been "studying" Davinci for more than 15 years now, and I'm a big fan of it. This premise is to say that for me the...

    Modding the Kodak Reels 8mm Film Digitizer (Firmware Hack)

    Hi, I downgraded to firmware 6.0. I digitized a Kodak Vision3 200T, there is no issue with the jitter nor with the color ghosting. I stay with it for now. Thank you

    New update. The Tri X film is a nasty one with a lot of visible grain and the development in Caffenol accentuate it. My attention was captured by the high bitrate that the previous clip had eq. 46.7 Mbit/s, well above the 35 Mbit/s 0dan0 set. So i tried to to reduce sharpness more, at -1.5 and...

    New short test. Kodak Tri X developed in Caffenol. As Stated by 0dan0: " The "gate weave" risk was reduced greatly in 6.6. It is likely a processing delay yes, as it gets worse with a long exposure on the first frame, this is why in 6.6 the first frame uses a high ISO and short shutter. It...

    I drilled the printed piece with a modeling micromotor (don't know if the translation is correct) by eye, trying it in place until the parts fit one against the other with no presumable "basculation", and I enlarged the "wrong" holes a little. then I used some new screw M1 1.6 12mm long. Sorry I...

    Ok, I dismantled It. :) Since the back of the camera has a square shape, you have to remove a block of plastic that expose the hole. Then there are the two pins protruding. The spacer drilled, not a masterpiece. :)

    I'm not very good with the dynamics of these posts, I answered in the other thread you posted. Sorry

    @0dan0 I uploaded a new scanned reel, a Kodak Vision 3 50D. It is my first attempt at home developing, many errors are present (insufficient rem jet removal, inconsistent development), but on some frame you can judge the fine grain.

    Update of working in progress Mechanical observation: 1. The pegs that drive the film have a fusion plug (they are made of plastic) that can cause scratches. I don't have the competence to dimantle the digizirer, so i opted to turning the fusion plug to the opposite direction of where the film...

    Hello 0dan0, can you please tell me the code of the new screws for the new height? I've ordered the 3D Lens spacer. I guess they have to be 5+7 long, but I have no clue about the pitch and depth of the screw threads. Thank you.

    Thank you 0dan0, I have quite a confusion in my head, but I'm enthusiastic! :) I'm waiting for the 12mm lens + rings to arrive, then I'll post my findings here. I hope that exploring different paths, especially with my diverse background (I know nothing about coding, Arduino, etc.), might be...
