For those that have recently joined, or have not followed our advances.

We mentioned this in some other previous replies. Since the project has started, we have gone through several hardware improvements, and also acquired more prints.

Currently, we have a 35mm Projector, and a Digital video camera, capable of capturing at 4k, in 24fps realtime.

All of our recents scans use this setup, and we have rescanned portions of earlier prints with it also, when needed.

We have a Dolby digital decoder for the sound, and are also looking into expanding to 70mm capture, and other future improvements.

We are mostly self-funded, but have had some donations for a brief period of time.

We have a lot of custom adjustments with the hardware, and have converted to mostly professional equipment since the time we first started.

What type of camera do you use? Is it a full frame sensor with a macro lens like a Canon 5D mark iii? I am looking into building a similar setup for 8mm film, and have this camera. Any advice on what lens to use?

Also how do you capture the sound strip from the film? Do you pull it from the digital pictures, or do you scan it directly from the film?

Thanks
