hey, thx Rick So I can send my 1014 to your guy and have it Super Duper?

btw, is the Canon 1014 XL-S also called a "Canosound?" or is that another series? stupid question sorry.

thx, Ian. i guess I wrote that wrong. I'm aware that MAX-8 was intended for Beaulieu, strictly. Should I stick with the 1014 & mod if for crystal, or should I find a Beaulieu series capable of MAX-8. If I remember correctly, there's a 20% increase in picture with MAX-8. I'm in search of the 16x9 convenience. Or is it all hype/overrated.

Wattup film katz. I just registered, it's a pleasure to be here and share Super8 work with you buffs. I have several upcoming projects for music videos in 06+. I've had a Canon 1014 XL-S for several years now (bought on ebay back in 01), but never really used it. I would like to send my 1014 for a Crystal mod., but then I'm thinking about the new MAX-8 format from pro8mm for 16x9 widescreen. It's said that the Beaulieu 4008 (+ further series) were made with a bigger gate opposed to Canon, Nikon, etc.. What do you guys think? I'm really interested in working with MAX-8 to be honest, I mean who wouldn't want to test it out? I know some heads say just matte'it out (4x3) during post... I don't know, I just want to make the right investments in the long run. I know I've come across several sites in the past with video assist mods for the 1014, but can't find any atm. Any Super8 experienced heads shed some light on me on several directions. thx
