Bryan Mann Posted May 21, 2004 Share Posted May 21, 2004 Im just starting to explore the world of film and I want to buy either a krasnogorsk 3 or Bolex H16 or something just to mess around on a practice with. I figure I should start with the basics. I cant decide what camera to buy! Any suggestions? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marty Hamrick Posted May 21, 2004 Share Posted May 21, 2004 I would suggest a Bolex Rex IV or V.The V can take a 400 foot mag and will grow with you.Only used a Kras once and liked it fine except I've heard stories that if you get one where the factory worker had too much Vodka the night before,you may get a lemon.Most folks I've known with a Kras have them worked over from one end to the other driving the cost up,which to me defeats the purpose of buying a cheaper 16mm.Both cameras can be easily converted to super 16.

Mitch Gross Posted May 22, 2004 Share Posted May 22, 2004 This has been discussed many times before. Check the archives. General consensus is go with Bolex, but there are other options out there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
