Author Topic: Kinoton FP30E/EC Dave Macaulay Film God Posts: 2321 From: Toronto, Canada Registered: Apr 2001 posted 03-21-2002 03:45 PM                     Does anyone know the shutter efficiency of these Kinoton electronic intermittent machines? The literature I have says the efficiency is greater than a maltese cross system but I haven't been able to find any actual numbers.

We've put in a number of FP30E and FP38E's. Light output is virtually identical to the adjacent FP20s, certainly no appreciable gain on the electronic machines. We've been extremely impressed with the mahcnies, especially the 16mm on the FP38 - a rock solid picture and very "film-tolerant". We've got an old print of an episode of the Sweeny and whilst I can't say it looks like 35mm the only real visible difference is the resolution - light and pix movement are indistinguishable Cheers Peter Hall Future Projections LTd www.fproj.com London, UK  |  IP: Logged
