Thanks! I understand these functions better now. The camera I got is a Reflex and has an extra element under the arm, with a metal piece under it, connecting its back lever to the shutter door and it's stuck in the down position. I don't want to force it up, so if you know what I should do, please do let me know, thanks!
sans undrtale
Amazing
It's sweet! Thank you for sharing
It should be noted that the Arkay tank you have does not allow for second exposure to light after initial development to reverse the image and redevelop like the Morse tank. That's what the window on the Morse tank is for. So, negative process only on the Arkay tank. No reversal possible. Also, because reversal processing is possible in the Morse tank, emulsion needs to be wound facing out, ( on the initial spool up from daylight spool to left side reel, criss cross from right to left, place empty spool after spool up, thread film into empty spool on the right side, run film between roller and window, close tank, tilt tank down on right side, add 500 ml h2o and roll film onto right side reel through water bath for prewetting film, (critical), with lid still on drain water from tank and begin development. Remember the emulsion must face window for second exposure.)
Hi Gerald , what’s your recommendations to dry the 100 feet roll ? As for 35 mm as it’s only 4/5 feet, they dry hanging, clipped on a string but how should I do for 100 feet . Also should I pass my squeegee like I do for 35mm to have less water marks ? Thanks so much. Looking forward to hear from you and start the process . Best C
I saw ads for this device all the time and I appreciate seeing it in actual use! Wish you had shown us your developed film - how you took it out of the tank and dried it! Even so, this seems a wholey impractical way to develop film. Winding and winding and winding, just to get a negative? To do reversal B&W (nevermind color) would be SO MUCH WINDING! It seems your development time - 20 minutes - is about double what you'd use for a standard tank.
I tried that twice when I was in college and ruined two rolls of film.
I'm curious about the nature of how the rolls were ruined. Most commonly I have seen rolls being under-developed, but in rare occasions there have been other types of even more catastrophic failure.
@@GeraldSaul That was in 1989; from what I can recollect from my memory, I followed the directions with respect to temperatures and time and for some unknown reason I was unable to see anything - not even a faint image. That was using B&W chemicals. If I had gotten a faint image, I would have kept trying.
Sounds and I had a seizure trying to watch sorry

I never knew developing 16mm film was a chore
My usual system is much sloppier and less structured and not a chore. This tank method requires greater attention to detail, but still not really a chore.
I have a same tank for years, I'll give it a try...
have you used the rex o fader to do lap dissolves? i'm wondering if its possible to control the duration of the dissolve?
Interesting.Cheers!
One day hopefully later this year I’ll be able a reflex model H16 but until then this non-reflex H16 will have to do.
Hi, Can i use a super 8 in this tank?
2 minuets on a spiral in D-94 is enough to develop it. I wonder how many passes it would take in a rewind tank.
The problem with fast developers and this tank is contact time. Since the winding time is not well controlled and considering that film at the ends when the circumference of the roll is larger gives those parts some extra development time, the G3 gives a more even result with a less active developer. I love the spiral tanks but they take extra attention and practice and are not great for beginners.
@@GeraldSaul it is taking me some time to sneak up on how to use them. The starting loading groove on a Lomo Pro 30m was cleaned of a little debre at the corner this morning so film would lay flat on top. If you have one you know what that is.
Did I hear right that you CAN use the G3 for double 8?
Yes. As double 8 is the same width as the 16mm so it would fit into this device without problem. There is no method of splitting the film within this device and I've never split my own film so I have no advice on that point.
Is there a bigger tank you can use to develop 35mm film?
This is only valid for negative film, right ? I think if you want to process reversal stock, you have to reexpose it, which make things more difficult.
There is also a Morse tank with a window for re-exposure.
Hi , thanks for the video. Do you have to be in complete darkness or you can do that at night with really low light ? Thanks
You really should have complete darkness during the loading process. The loading can be done while everything is dry so you can usually create a make-shift black chamber with blankets that would suffice (with all lights off as well).
Does anyone know what the development times would be for 100ft of 16mm kodak vision 3 film would be,the ecn-2 chemistry.
Hello, when you adjust the viewer to your eyes, this works only for people who don't see well things that are near, right? If I have myopia it does not work for me? Thank you!

I must say, this would have to be one of (if not the most) highly anticipated events of the aeon.
Hey there! Can u make a video showing ECN-2 proces? For color cine film. Im planning to buy a Morse G3 tank, and wanted to know thhe process of developing colour at home. Planning to make my own lab in the future. Thank u for this video mate.
Is this also fro color film?
The tank can be used for colour film. The chemistry used is completely different, as would be the timing, but the physical actions would be the same. I've used it for colour but when I did, I was not highly concerned about precise results so did not have good temperature control. I've known people to use this tank for colour and keeping it one half immersed in a tray of temperature controlled/monitored water to give appropriate/consistent results. It is increasingly difficult to acquire small batches of colour chemistry, depending upon where you are.
Where in the world can this film be found. Looks like a lost cult gem.
I've been asking this question for over a decade.. I need to find a copy!
@@JeyDB I knew I saw this on DVD. Burned a copy of it AND found the file in a stored away hard drive. Want a copy? can send it through WeTransfer, no conditions, free. I'm an avid cinephile....
@@pdd60absorbed12 I would very much like a copy if possible! Never used WeTransfer before. What do I need to do?
@@JeyDB got to find a way to send me your email but not on this forum. I send you the file and you unzip it. Any suggestions?
GS, thanks for posting and sharing your knowledge. How do you dry 100' of film?
I have used many drying systems and it always depends upon season, amount of film, and access to facilities. My favorite method is when I'm working in the summer during the day with a group. We take the film outside and lay it across large lawns in the sun. It dries in less than five minutes and can be wound up with minimum tangling. Surprisingly, most dirt and grass falls off quickly and easily as you wind with no problems. Otherwise, I seek ways to hand the film. If it above freezing outside and isn't raining or snowing (I am in Canada) I have clothes line and I clip it onto that so that it loops up and down, not touching the ground. Depending on weather, it can dry in 15-30 minutes. I also hang it up different places inside. I try to find ways to use clothes pin to pin it to the ceiling or to high up objects. This is not optimal as it can create a very chaotic room and can take a couple of hours to dry. A single roll might be able to hand in the bathroom, up and down over the shower. I have known people who use a clothes dryer to dry film. You must be careful not to use heat as it would melt the film. I think that the people who do this care even less about scratches than I do. Remember not to wind up the film wet as it will fuse together and the emulsion will peel off and be ruined. If you have multiple rolls but only room to hang one roll to dry, you can leave the others immersed in water until it is their turn. I've left film in water for a few days without problem (but a few weeks can be a disaster).
@@GeraldSaul Gerald, thank you for your response. I would like to share what I am about to fabricate for the drying process. I will be using a large hanging vinyl garment bag. Available here: www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0000TQF1Y/ref=ppx_od_dt_b_asin_title_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 I will cut a square hole on the bottom which will be covered from the inside with an air filter. I will place a nylon screen on top of that. Then I use a porcelain light socket with a 75Watt bulb. I will make a 'hat' out of aluminum foil and place it on top of the bulb to prevent it from bursting from liquid dripping on to it. The garment bag has a second hanging wire from which I will loop a 100' length of 16mm film. Doing the math there is just about enough side-to-side room on the hanger to accommodate 100' of 17.5mm width. This means it will not accommodate a 35mm width @ 100'. I will try to do a DYI video later. In the meant time do you have any developing formulas to share? I will be processing Double-X 7222 Neg probably use the standard D-96 unless you recommend otherwise? I also have some Plus-X Neg 7231 that have been kept in a freezer! The last of Greatest high silver motion picture film stock! I believe development times will be the same betwixt in 7222 and 7231? Any advice you have to offer? I will be eternally grateful!
Good film I liked it what did you shoot it on?
It was shot onto 3/4" video tape in a porta-pack. The camera was attached via a cable. I think it was a Sony. This was in 1983 or 1984 so technical details are lost. Here is the camera in question: uregina.ca/~saulge/saul/photos%20for%20web/photos%20from%20films/slurpee%20movie%20student%20film%201983.jpg The version I uploaded was from a VHS dub from the 3/4". The original tape is lost.
Sans nothing pls
Rest In Peace🍀
What was the stock?
Really interesting.Thanks.
Hi Gerald, I was trying to figure out the difference between the upper dial and lower dial of the frame counter, but I couldn't find an explanation on the internet that I understood. When reading for double exposure, do I read the upper dial, or the lower dial?
You read both of them. When you are shooting with the camera, the upper counter will move fairly quickly as it is counting frames, rotating once every fifty frames. The lower counter also moves at the same time and tells you the overall number of frames. For example: if you zero both counters then shoot for exactly ten seconds, what you will find is that the lower counter will say that you have shot between 200 and 250 frames. You look at the upper counter and it would say "40". This gives you the more precise number, which would be 240 frames.
i've heard of people using the rewind lever/key to actually film like they actually captured footage hand cranking the film through the bolex. Would you know how to achieve this?
Not difficult. Similar to the process of rewinding, you disengage the motor but don't rewind and don't close off the lens. Turn the crank the opposite way as the indicated tells you and the camera gate will open and close and the film will advance forward. The tricky part is calculating the exposure. To do that, you would want to remove the lens and observe how many times the gate opens and closes with each revolution of the crank (I think it is six, but I don't have one in front me me right now). If that number is correct, and if you turn the crank at the rate of once per second, then you would expose each frame for one twelfth of a second and you'll need to set your Fstop for that. Put the lens back on, measure your light, set your f-stop based upon how fast you are comfortable turning the crank, and make a movie. Often when you stop, you have a fifty/fifty chance of having the gate partially open and giving you a flash frame. Expect this, it will be unavoidable.
amazing video. mega thanks!
Hi gerald, can i use my hand to rewind the knob or do i have to have a rewind key?
Unfortunately, you definitely need the key. The gear is inset and there is no way to access it with your hands or even a pair of pliers.
Gerald Saul yeah that seems to be the case. Working on getting a key
hey gerald, one more thing. If I am not too concerned with the exactness of my impositions and just really want to double expose the whole roll, could i shoot almost the entire roll and then use the rewind key to pull the film all the way back?
You could do that. Rewinding takes quite a while. I imagine it would take 15 minutes or more to rewind a whole roll. Optionally, you could shoot the whole thing then use rewinds in a dark room to wind back to the start and then reload it.
yeah i could do that too. thanks
A sample would be nice. I have one of those cameras and will try it some day. Nice correct example. I only shoot 16mm b&w reversal nowadays and develop it myself thus lowering costs.
Good for the classic dissolve also, loved mine. Too expensive to run though.
Hello there... what kind of developer and fix did you use and the quantity? and what abou the film remjet?
Remjet is not present on Black & White Cine films. If you are planning to do ECN-2 chemistry on color negative stock then you will have to do a pre-soak and a Remjet removal bath. Sodium Bicarbonate usually.
