Matthew Buick Posted February 2, 2007 Share Posted February 2, 2007 What is you favourite Super 8mm Camera? This isn't based on technical prowess or anything like that, this is about looking at cameras in a more innocent way, which one do you think looks best? It can be Super 8, Single 8, or Reg 8, but please state. MOI: Beaulieu 1028 XL60 (Super8). Bestest regardies... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jacob thomas Posted February 4, 2007 Share Posted February 4, 2007 Nizo Pro, Beaulieu 4008 or Canon 1014XL-S (and maybe the Bolex Macrozoom 160). All great looking and functioning cameras. The "Beaulieu" 1028 XL60 is not really on the same level in terms of design or functionality, but each to their own. :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I also love the Technicolor Mark Ten (Super 8). :D Edited February 4, 2007 by Matthew Buick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patrick Cooper Posted February 5, 2007 Share Posted February 5, 2007 I think the Chinons may be the most groovy looking S8 cameras. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Albert Smith Posted February 5, 2007 Share Posted February 5, 2007 NIZOS!!!! the black nizo s800 or some of the smaller more compacted ones and of course that bolex...dont know the model number but the look is quit distinct. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bernhard Zitz Posted February 5, 2007 Share Posted February 5, 2007 For the look definitely the Bolex 150, 155 and 160 maybe out of some stupid patriotic feelings towards swiss design :D :D :D cheers, Bernhard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jon Lohne Posted February 5, 2007 Share Posted February 5, 2007 I like the beaulieu 4008 zm2, or my new favorite, is my nikon r10. You can check the photos at this url. http://home.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseacti...d0-5ad5c8dd2007 j Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

André Bacher Posted February 5, 2007 Share Posted February 5, 2007 Hello! I love the finish of the "Beulieu 4008 ZM X" - its a wonderful design made for eternity ;-) I'd like the BAUER Concept too, but the Beulieus are different... greetings, André Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matthew Buick Posted February 5, 2007 Author Share Posted February 5, 2007 Oh I really can't stand those damn 4008s, crappy French design, unreliable, heavy, finnickey... Which is weird, because the Beaulieu 6008 is one of my favourite cameras of all time, one of them twinned with a Angeneuix 6-90 and it's time to take out the trash.

Antonio Bunt Posted February 8, 2007 Share Posted February 8, 2007 Big stuff: The Elmo 1012 Small or amatuerish: Canon 310 and the Kodak M-series, Russian cameras such as the Aurora's are nice too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stig Lundberg Posted February 8, 2007 Share Posted February 8, 2007 Being a camera collector I have tried several. A camera needs to be reliable, easy to use and not too bulky to carry around. Nikon R10 is way too heavy, only suitable for tripod shooting. I might be unlucky but the Beaulieu 6008 seems useless as soundcamera, its noicy and the batteries runs down quickly so film speed gets inaccurate. Works much better as a silent film camera but unneccesaily large. The 5008 gives a nice metal feeling but i haven't used one. Canons 1014, both the silent and the sound versions are true beauties, and reliable. When travelling though I'll bring my Canon 310 XLS and/or Eumig nautica. Both gives very nice quality pictures at their pricerange. Design by Agfa, the Movexoom 4000 looks like a shotgun in Star Wars! , and the Bolex mentioned above is an oddity, but nice. Slim design is to be found on the Agfa Movexoom 10 and all Nizos, very nice cameras to handle. Finally the gem to just look at is the Minolta D10 in red velvet lined case, with the add ons beside, wow!!! /Stig! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fernando Morales Posted February 9, 2007 Share Posted February 9, 2007 Super 8: Canon 1014XL-S Double super 8: Bolex H8 Rex DS8 converted If the Canon 814XLe has 24 fps, would be my ideal. Cheers! Morales Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matthew Buick Posted February 9, 2007 Author Share Posted February 9, 2007 (edited) If the Canon 814XLe has 24 fps, would be my ideal. It does! Any camera THAT serious has to, without it would be suicidal.

Rachel Oliver Posted February 10, 2007 Share Posted February 10, 2007 Hi; Leicina Special (technically the finest images I ever get from the format) Nizo 4080 (crystal sync cam for quiet documentation @ sound critical events) Nizo macro 561 (my most used cam, always handy, small and full of amazing features- Autom.b being the best allowing for low to almost no light filming! And a decent little lens too.... The cam I keep coming back to) Olly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
