An actual e-mail received by NCS Products: "I was wondering if you could answer this for me. I have a k-3 and my friends told me that I can shoot my film on a...
electrical tape works well for that purpose. wrapping the camera in fiberglass insulation and covering with electrical tape makes the camera suitable for sync...
I just got my k3 in the mail and I have never purchased 16mm film before. All I know is that I want my first few rolls to be in b&w and that I need a...
... "Daylight" stock and "Tungsten" (existing light) stock are "words of art" which refer to types of color film, not to B&W film. For a K-3, you want 100 foot...
aside from the 100ft roll reference there is so much misinformation here, i must respond: . daylight and tungsten terms are hardly "words of art", they refer...
Thanks for all your help! So what if my intention is to just get my film processed then telecined to DV. And then from there I will edit on my computer and...
Hello, Sorry for being off topic, but I can't find the answer to my quest - a source of 16mm cores for a different camera (400' magazine). Any help will be...
frankly, what probably makes more sense is to score some expired color negative and transfer it black and white. any color shifts won't be an issue, and...
The term daylight has two contexts in film.... I think that the confusion here is the term "daylight spool". When we refer to 100' daylight spools this means...

... Good point! I didn't have a core for it to wind onto and I was impatient, so I just stuck a daylight spool in the magazine. Hopefully the lab won't have...
It just arrived from Russia. Looks brand new. Bigger than I thought it would be. I'll run some exposed film through it tonight to check for scratches and basic...
Well, for starters, don't run exposed film through the camera for testing purposes. Use fresh, virgin film stock. That way you know for sure that is YOUR...
Makes sense. Thanks, Travis. Love the camera! I guess I should wait until I shoot some film with it before I say that, but It appears to be in good working ...

Well, I didn't do the modification myself, so I couldn't give you "instructions" per say. But I will say that you definitely need to get rid of those things...
I'd gladly pay $85 but there's no way I'm paying Reel trading $365 for an upgrade. I'm sure they do a great job, but it totally negates the whole reasy you buy...
From Reel Trading web site: The Pro Upgrade involves reshaping, polishing and calibrating the entire film transport assembly, making for fast, efficient...
Having loading problems. Should the top spindle rotate while camera is running? Mine isn't. Film is getting hung up, losing the loops and jamming. Seems to be...
my understanding is that, beyond the obvious, they tweak the camera out in a big way. k3's, while a decent design, suffer from build quality issues ... the...
Hey guys, I just got my k-3 from Ukraine I think. I didn't get any film with it, but I hit the trigger and it worked fine, was happy etc. But I ran it on...
Well, for starters, if you've read any books, your not supposed to run cameras at higher than 24 fps without FILM. That being said . . . "Q: My K-3 doesn't...
