Holger,               HG> Please note that despite the above date your msg arrived here        HG> today.              Last night I was planning on answering this message after I answered       Daryl's but it was late and I turned the pc off before sending the .REP       packet.              So this morning I finally found the ROUNDTUIT to do it.       The Date/Time of those two messages will tell all.               EV> From what I learned of the Kino Camera You get 144 images on a        EV> 36 Exposure roll of 35mm Film.               HG> There's a difference here between Film (Cinema) and Kino        HG> camera. A Kino camera uses the same type of film (raw material)        HG> as a cinema camera. The difference is that the Kino type of        HG> camera takes still pictures and a Cinema camera makes running        HG> pictures of a sequence thereby a cinema.              I didn't notice the Camera Brand that I looked at wasn't a regular Kino       Camera, I thought all Kino Cameras worked with a crank on the side to       take images one after the other as the crank was turned.       My mistake in not reSearching further about it.               EV> I usually always purchased Etkachrome film that took 36 photos        EV> because I liked the Bluish Tone it had compared to the Yellowish        EV> Tone that Kodachrome film has.               HG> My farther was a fan of Agfa film material, probably because it        HG> had "softer" colours than Kodachrome for the diapositives he        HG> made.               HG> I have previously used Kodachrome but lately mostly Fuji film        HG> material.              When I was in Japan I bought a roll of Fuji B&W film.       I was afraid to buy their Color film because I didn't know where I       could get it processed, me being on a ship that wouldn't be in the area       later on.              I figured B&W could be processed by the Mail Order Company that I sent       my Color film to, and at least I would have some photos of the place       that I was at then.               EV> Plus Etkachrome was ASA(ISO?) 32 compared to ASA 10 for Kodachrome,        EV> I liked having the little extra light sensitivity, I think that is        EV> what the difference is.              In the 1960's Kodak made a Ektachrome film with a higher speed (ASA),       so I bought a roll of it to try out.              I took photos of Aircraft Launches and Landings one day and was worried       that the photos would be overexposed even while I had my camera set at       1/300 f/16 (the fastest shutter speed and narrowest iris opening for my       Argus C3 camera).              Those slides looked perfect when I received them back from the       processing lab I mailed them to. Boy was I glad to learn that I could       use that new faster film in Daylight.               HG> I don't recall having seen Ektachrome (note the spelling) but        HG> it may have slipped my mind since I've never used that        HG> material.              Thanks for the correction, those first two letters in Ektachrome being       meant to say "Eastman Kodak", I've been pronouncing it Et-ka-chrome for       so long I didn't realize I was making TYPOS, but You got my attention       that I was misspelling the film brand name.       I'll now have to try remembering the correct spelling, Thanks!               EV> The Kino Camera I looked at on the Internet would get 144 pictures        EV> on a 36 exposure roll, the images were 8.(something)mm X 24mm.        EV> That camera looked like it had a crank on the side to turn to make a        EV> picture a "Click At A Time", I was thinking it could be used to make        EV> a very short Movie if the crank was turned until the last exposure        EV> was taken on the roll.               HG> Oh yes, I recall those projectors that were available to the        HG> public in "old time" amusement establishments. That must have        HG> been btwn 1940-50. You put in a dime (or whatever it was) and        HG> then you could turn a crank and enjoy a short movie sequence.              I think/thought what I was looking at was a current model that was       still being sold, instead of antique stuff.       It didn't look anything like the big machines in the Penny Arcade at       the amusement park that I dropped many pennies in during my youth.       -snip-        EV> BTW, talking about 36 exposure rolls of Film:        EV> When I was in Japan I bought a Olympus Pen-EE S Camera that took        EV> "Single Frame" photos, 18mm X 24mm, and gave me 72 pictures on a 36        EV> exposure roll.               HG> Yeah, that is half the size of a normal handheld camera using        HG> the cinema type of film.              The camera used normal 35mm Roll Film, it just moved the film half the       distance since the hole where the image was placed on the film was half       the normal size.              Now, my mind is trying to remember what size of image was on the reels       of 35mm film which I put on the projectors when I was working as a       Projectionist at a Movie Theater.              I'm wanting to think the image was the same size as the Pen-EE S camera       made, but I'm not going to stop writing this message and look on Wiki       to learn about it.       I'll do that after this packet is sent.               EV> -- SBBSecho 2.12-Linux        EV> * Origin: telnet & http://cco.ath.cx - Dial-Up: 502-875-8938        EV> (1:2320/105.1)               HG> OK that's probably the reason for the delayed delivery.              The BBS that Mike has can be connected by Dial-Up, Telnet or the       Internet, three ways.              He showed me that I could use FTP instead of Telnet to get/put my       packet(s), since I had difficulty using Telnet for QWK, and the       Internet Portal didn't allow QWK handling, only Reading and Writing.               I noticed that Mike's Origin Line is showing his old address,       instead of the CAPCITY2.SBBS address.       I will tell him about that. Thanks for showing the Origin Line to me.       Your and Wilfred's replies are showing that old Origin Line, Thanks!,       I know Mike would want to get that corrected.              ...
