<p>Thanks for that Michael... hmm I might have to look for a 1D2/1d2n. The write speed for the 1D was listed as <0.2 secs for small jpgs so I thought there might be a chance to shoot more.</p>

<p>John, not every spec as they do not list buffer sizes for the small sized jpgs (i had checked before posting), and I know that on some cameras (such as my 30D) that you can shoot many many more shots on small jpg than the listed buffer size for the camera, so I was looking for a bit of real world experience of said camera.</p>

<p>Hi Folks, bit of an odd question, but does anyone know if on the original Canon 1D you can get more small jpg shots to a card before the buffer is full, while shooting at 8fps? </p>

<p>I'm looking for a stop motion effect and want to push the 5fps of my current camera and small jpgs from the 1D will be fine size wise, just that the specified buffer of 21 jpgs is not as much as I'd hoped for.<br>

Any help would be appreciated.<br>

For a very personal view on a photographer and his methods, also of his level of interaction try "James Nachtwey: War Photographer"

Another film shows that it wasn't a trapped leader, though i think i've probably loaded both films incorrectly....

When i pull the black card protector out through the rollers, no white tab is appearing, so i open the back and manually feed it through.. i feed it through the rollers... is this where i'm going wrong? should the white tabs go through somewhere else?

This is a picture of the tab out of the roller slot.

Any help would be appreciated

Dennis, thanks agian! That's the guide I found from the photo.net forums showing me how to load the film. I think it may be the trapped leader that allowed light to leak onto the exposed film or be rubbing against it as it was moved from the container to the rollers. The yellow streaks are in the right place for the leader to be either leaving marks or causing leakage.

Time to try another fim and see!

Dennis, thanks.

Re reading that pdf it could be that, someone else suggested it may be the white leader, though it was pulled out before exposing the image and then pulled straight out after exposure.

I've just finished the pack of 10 and found that the 10th leader was folded under the film pack, hopefully this was the cause...it may have been letting some light leak onto the film before it went through the rollers. we'll see i'll try another pack later.

I'm making a Polaroid pinhole camera, i purchased a used Polaroid

back, and have made the mkI version.

After spending a good 15 minutes trying to figure out how to load the

film (thank god for photo.net) i finally got to try it out.

I'm getting a wide strip of yellow across my image

I cleaned the rollers after this image, because of the yellow/white

spots, these have gone.

To check it wasn't an issue with the pinhole or body construction, (ie

light leaks) i replaced the holders darkslide and pulled out some

unexposed film,

and

These last two were pulled out at different speeds, to me it looks

like it could be an issue with the rollers, or maybe I'm pulling the

film out too fast?

If anyone has any thoughts on what may be causing this, I'd really

appreciate it.

Many Thanks.

Mark.

James, no it does not support the S7000. I have the fuji S7000 and I to am impressed with it. I have tried importing the RAW files into photoshop CS with no succes. I think that the ccd is different in the S7000.

On a slightly better note I have emailed Fuji about the, quite frankly, useless RAW converter that ships with the camera. Apparently they are releasing a new converter for the S7000 sometime this year..... so they say.
