Thanks, one more question, what type of file do most people get thier 16mm film telecined to so they can edit easily with. The main thing I don't understand is how to edit with an easy to edit slightly compressed file mabye an SD file then turn it back into a higher res image say HD after its all done and edited.

@earworm I would recommend get it scanned in apple prores 422 hq. The editing technique you are talking about is called Offline editing. You can convert the file yourself in your editing software, edit, and then re-link the edited files to your original footage. It's different for each program, so you can look it up on google. Good luck !

Amazing film, I just ordered a k3, I don't know much about it at all. I've researched some film and was planning on using kodak vision3 250d for day and vision3 500t for night. I see you used 500 for day is that the same speed as the vision3 500t, sorry im a newbie to film? Also where did you find the correct battery for your k3 light meter? I have a few m42 lenses, mir20, mir1a, jupiter9, helios 44-3 and 2, super takumar 50 1.4. Have you had any luck with any of these lenses on your k3?

@earworm Hi ! 500D and 500T have the same sensitivity. The difference between the two is the color temperature. The "T" stands for tungsten and the "D" for daylight. Color temperatures are expressed in Kelvin. Daylight is about 5,600K and Tungsten is about 3,200K. Using the right film is like setting the white balance on your digital camera. Using the appropriate film for a specific light source will give you a neutral(white) color.

@earworm for the batteries, I had some that came with the camera. The K-3 uses a M42 lens mount, so you should have no problem with your lenses. Have fun !

Wow! Incredibly good looking footage! Did you use the internal lightmeter? If you did then wich setting did you apply for your 500 ASA film?

[CDprods]

@Vinegar1138 Thanks ! I did use the internal lightmeter. It turned out it's pretty reliable. For 500asa film, you have to set your camera at 250. The lightmeter will give you one stop over exposed, which means once the meters indicates your aperture is correcly set on the lens, you have to adjust it one step down. For example if you're at f5.6 and the meter tells you it's ok, adjust your aperture to f8.

This was god scenes for test. i Got my brand new K3 some days ago. I just wait for batteries now.

@earworm Hi, I've had one of these cameras for years.

I would not trust the internal lightmeter. I was using two PX625 Mercury batteries in mine shimmed with a washer and still the exposure was off. Use it as a reference, but handheld meters are not that expensive and I would suggest that if you are serious about film then you pick one up and just sit back and be amazed at the quality of footage that a properly working K-3 will produce!
