My first test reel from a Bolex 480 Macrozoom that I recently purchased. I'm producing a short video series about Super 8 for RedShark, which I'll post up on that channel once done, but for now, here's some shots from my trip to Llangollen in Wales. I had to take out a few shots since they were totally out of focus, likely as a result of me not setting up the diopter correctly for the split focus system. There are still a couple of soft shots left in the edit.

Film was processed and transferred by Gauge Film in Cineon Log with partial overscan. I cropped in to fill the 4:3 frame, performed very basic contrast and colour saturation adjustment from the log original, and did some stabilisation.

Overall, I'm impressed. The Bolex had minimal gate weave to begin with, but I decided to go with a bit of stabilisation regardless. The shots that are sharp are nicely detailed and to my mind show off just how much detail you can get from a Super 8 frame.
