I've been learning about taps!

And from a really unexpected source, too.

This came up on the Magic Lantern forum:

Magic Lantern, is open source, 3rd party software, that extends the functionality of certain Canon DSLRs.

Chris Clawson, the chap who did this film restoration, posted the link, explaining that he does all these restoration projects using ML and bespoke hardware for the film transport. He's part of a team at Greenfield Industrial History Museum that restore industrial training fiims.

I think the results are gorgeous, and probably look a lot better than when it was originally projected.

There are a few more on similar topics on his YouTube stream too, but I haven't yet had time to watch them (the Grand Prix is about to start!).

Enjoy,

E.

I've been using it's cousin, "CHDK", on my beloved Canon A630 for years.

Yes I used to use it years ago, but then we changed the camera that ran it. Very handy (as is ML).
