I just got done viewing 4 shorts on www.straight8.com. You MUST go see. After I get my personal/professional project done, this is going to be the first competition I enter. All kinds of ideas floatin' around in my head right now... I had better go write them down! Enjoy it. Regards, Michael Michael Douglas Roberts Photography Portland, OR

Thanks for the replies and what to look out for. My guess is it hasn't been used in years so the first order of business is to go through it with a fined toothed comb, or a fine bristled modelling brush, so to speak. Is there a repair manual I can get somewhere? If it is beyond simple preventative maintenance, I will definitely ship it out and invest in having it done over by a pro... Reccomendations for out here on the left coast? Thanks again, I think my 13 bucks was well spent. Now I have a Bolex H16S to my name as of today, so I think my artistic endeavours will be satisfied for a long time to come... Now if I can just get a faster computer, with more RAM, Final Cut Pro... Jeez, I better stop! Michael Douglas Roberts Portland, OR Duh, I just went to Santos' link and saw what I need. Thank you very much! Michael Douglas Roberts Portland, OR

In a moment I call E-bay-itis, I bid on and won a Bolex 660 macro zoom. I was getting frustrated on getting out bid on the 16mm bolexes I was bidding on and thought S8 was a great way to go to get the effect I was looking for on my project (bungee jumping while filming to put as a lead-in to the stills I sell of other jumpers). The question is... did I buy a good camera, regardless of the price I paid for it? :blink: Thanks, I think I will be utilising the talents on this forum a lot in the near future...
