Quendil's Film Photography

I have a couple of Cine projectors for Super 8mm and normal 8mm along with a couple of films but I have always wanted to have a go and making my own.  The problem is Cine films can be quite expensive to buy new and then get processed.  As I already develop my own 35mm b/w camera film at home I wanted to do the same for cine movies. After reading about home processing I managed to get a Russian made 8mm developing tank.  I have also got some old stock Kodachrome to try out and practice with before buying new stock Now to make this all possible I have also acquired a Chinon movie camera and a Fujifilm editor. Now all I need to do is find the time

I have been having some trouble focusing my cameras recently so thought it was time to try and autofocus camera.  I do have the old Olympus OM30 with the autofocus zoom lens but it is rather clunky and wanted to try something more modern. So after looking around I decided to give the Minolta Dynax range a go.  I looked at the different models and reviews which took quite a while.  Eventually I settled on the 700si with two lenses.  I have just had a quick go with it so far but it looks good.  I shall give it a good test vs my OM4Ti soon.
