Hello,

"PLAISIR DU CINEMA" was a French Magazine in 80 Eras devoted to "amateurs" , home movie makers with 8Std/S8/9,5/16mm , for people working with a movie camera but also projectors sometime to time....

It disappeared in the 90ths due to video entrance (last isuues were turn to Video) .....

It's in French language, of course, but it can be found some tests, same tricks, some schemas, etc......

I have a few sample of them . If somebody is interested , I'll make some scans , as soon as I can .

Let me know.

Sounds interesting Philip; I don't read French, but would be interested to see some scans of the magazines.

This is OK Roberts, I'll make a scan test ASAP.....

Hope to scan up to 400Dpi, other wise it is 300Dpi.

Hello

Here it is the link to download a sample for "Plaisir Du Cinéma" Nr83 :

It didn't link to anything for me, Philip.

Yes Robert, there is something which doesn't work when link is put in the forum......

I'll make an other try later.

Hello,

At this time, it seemed to work for me. Please note, when you get to this point, click on the red text file name of "PDC83.pdf" to begin download....ignore the other green button which states "START NOW":--that is nonsense about other software which is NOT needed.....
Here is an image of what I saw (others may see something somewhat different based on browser selection etc.):



I haven't yet looked at the file in detail, but it appears to be in French language. Even for those of us (like me) who do not understand French language it still is quite interesting to see. Thanks again Phil for sharing another important document... :)

Hello,

Thanks for this information Greg.

May be like this it's working better (Robert, let me know) :

Hello Philip, I'm now getting the same image as Greg. I will look at it later today as I have to go out this morning. Thanks. Just had a chance to view. I can't read French, but this is an interesting magazine. Interesting to see as late as 1986 that 9.5mm was available in Ektachrome. These mags, like our 'Movie Maker' in the UK are worth keeping for the valuable information they give. Thanks for taking the time to scan this.

Were there similar magazines in the U.S.A.?.
