Phillip Wood Posted March 1, 2008 Share Posted March 1, 2008 Hi :) I recently signed up to this forum and have been searching for information on Super 8 Projectors...this seems to be the best site i have found in regards to projectors so i hope you can help me out. I am currently searching for a S8 Projector to screen my future personal S8 footage. The cameras in use (if it makes any difference) are; Canon 1014XL-S and AGFA FAMILY C-100. So there will generally be 50ft Films. Although i would like to have the choice of screening much larger films ie. 600ft. OK so which do you think is better? Elmo ST 180E or EUMIG S 912 GL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gordon Nelson Posted March 6, 2008 Share Posted March 6, 2008 Hi- I'd have to say Elmo beats Eumig. They are both good machines, but the Elmo's film path is more accessible, therefore easier to clean and save your film if it jams. I have a Elmo 1200 that I love, however my favorite super-8 projector is the Bolex 18-5 "toaster" model with an adapter to use a halogen bulb.

Phillip Wood Posted March 7, 2008 Author Share Posted March 7, 2008 hi Gordon, thanks for your reply! i will check out the Elmo projectors then... i have also seen an Elmo 610D for sale in my local area...and have heard this is also a decent model on the cheaper side...

Gordon Nelson Posted March 13, 2008 Share Posted March 13, 2008 I think you mean a Eumig 610D- That's a nice machine. The variable speed functions are great, standard & super switching & a bright halogen lamp. I wish I had one & I'd snap up one of those if it's in good shape & a fair price. They command high prices on ebay. You can see one here along with an Elmo K-110SM: http://www.blackandwhitefilmfactory.com/pr...rs_for_rent.htm It's easy to confuse it with the Elmo K-110SM (top of the page). It has similar features. I have one that I found in a thrift store and I don't like it too much. It has really poor registration in Super-8 mode. Maybe it's just mine, but it seems to be something to do with the design compromise made in allowing dual formats. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
