How hard is it?
to lose something
So important, so significant, so treasured
How hard is it?
To move on, I mean.
From a visit in September 1999, this is the tower (complete with working clock!) of Hallgrímskirkja in Reykjavík, Iceland. It stands 74 metres (244 ft) high, and in the foreground is the monument to Leifur Eiríksson, who sailed from Greenland to America around 1000AD. He was the first known European explorer to have set foot in North America, long before Christopher Columbus.
The Lutheran church is named after Hallgrímur Pétursson (1614-74), the Icelandic poet and clergyman. Construction started in 1945 and ended in 1986, but the tower – undoubtedly Iceland’s best-known landmark – was completed long before the body of the church.
The Eiríksson monument is the work of Alexander Stirling Calder and was a gift to Iceland from the United States.
The 35mm film I used here, by the way, was Kodak Gold 200 and the camera was a Nikon – though which type, I now can’t remember.
This is a comparison of different frame sizes on 16mm film used in subminiature still cameras.
* The 10x14mm frames are shot with a Minolta 16 MG (1966-1971).
* The 12x17mm size frames are made with a Minolta 16 MG-s (1970-1974).
Double perf film - that is the old school movie film perforated on both sides - will of course work too, but the sprocket holes will likely protrude into the picture frame, particulary with the 12x17mm frame size.
Film strip length
Cut the film to about 48-50 cm (approximately 19 inches) to secure 18-20 exposures on each cassette. Be carefull with making longer film strips as the receiving chamber of the 16mm film cartridge is really small. Too much film may cause jamming of the film transport.
Number of frames
The Minolta 16 MG takes 20 10x14mm frames and the later Minolta 16 MG-s takes 18 12x17mm frames with slightly narrower frame spacing. This means that the sufficient film length is the same for both cameras.
Loading the cassettes
Try to get the side with sprocket holes down in the cassette first, then there is less risk of protrusion of the sprocket holes into the frames.
a little surprise i got back in my latest roll of film. i'm not sure what happened, exactly, but i love it! like 2 photos in 1.
La Pulente, St Ouen's Bay, Jersey. Taken with a Horizon 202 camera on Velvia 50 film. No messing with saturation, that's how it came out of the camera. The moon and Venus visible top left.
