at least i know these are: "Nom de Guerre", "Lisa Lindal", "1978" and "Sisten i är en skit" :)

not sure if the one i think you mean is the right one - however, if it is, this might be what you are looking for: http://www.mattias.nu/ cheers,

I cant say i am experienced nor have i tried that many Super8 camers. However i do know that my NIZO 6080 is a very good camera. It very quite when running so you can record sound pretty easy without taking any extreme measures. The new film stocks are no problem running (at least i have had none). And its a very good camera IMHO. Just my 2 cents. cheers, and welcome to the Super8 world.

Here's a lightmeter that I myself was interested in purchasing soon.. perhaps you like it too.. http://www.adorama.com/JTLM6.html

not sure .. i've got the EWA-S8K Kompendium mattebox myself .. got it from the Super8shop in Germany, perhaps you'll be able to find some filters at their webpage .. what kind of filters are you looking for? specifics? or just in general?

yes, i bought my NIZO 6080 from that place and its flawless and in perfect condition, he even packed it so good i'd think that you could've thrown the package down a mountain and the camera would still have been working when unpacked! :) i agree, its a very good place to buy super8 cameras indeed :) cheers,

Just found an interesting webpage when looking around for Super8 webpages.. thought i'd share it with you people and i hope you find it useful or interesting :) PS. check out their "SUPER8 DEMOS" link! :D http://www.super8widescreen.com/

good luck with the new camera! :) -- what NIZO did you get? .. I've got the NIZO 6080 myself :D ..and please, oh please post some test-footage later on from the Vision stock rolls.. i'd love to see some :) cheers,

I have a NIZO 6080 and even tho i have very little experience with it so far.. only had it like 6 months.. still, i like all things about it.. easy to learn.. easy to use.. Its no problem to use the 200T and 500T with NIZO.. i've got 10 rolls in the fridge now waiting for some action :) and the Ultra-wide lenses to NIZO seem to be ok IMHO.. im also thinking about getting the Ultra-wide III lens as well asap! :) however, the real hardcore answers to these questions i can provide within a month or so when i have done some serious tests with it all.. about to shoot a music video and a short soon using NIZO 6080, Ultra-wide lenses and the 200T film stock! :)) cheers,

David W Scott, first of all, thanks a lot for that useable post! :) if i ever had any questions left to ask, you seem to have answered them all :)) Indeed, the Vision2 200T seem to be a very good stock and i look forward to shooting with it :D i will do some tests using my NIZO camera this coming week.. test some diffrent lights in diffrent settings.. see what comes out :) .. a lightmeter and a greycard seem to be a good investment and i'll look deeper in to that as well :) again, thanks :) cheers,

Terry Mester, I will take a look at those links and threads and see what i can find, thanks a lot :) I also found this page over at Kodak's webpage which helped me a bit.. http://www.kodak.com/cluster/global/en/con...af9/index.shtml

thanks for the replies :) Douglas Hunter, you have a very good point -- I dont want the internal lightmeter to go out when shooting.. so an external lightmeters sounds pretty darn good! i'll see what i can find over here in Sweden.. 1. Any suggestion as to what kind of a lightmeter i should aim for at this early stage of shooting super8? Bruce Taylor, You are right, that is what i am looking for and i did find a nice book at the local library today when looking around for Super8 books.. it was from arounf -76 or -78 something and looked very good.. gonna go down their this weekend and get it :D again, thanks for the input :) cheers,

Hello everyone :) I am about to shoot my first short and a music video with my newly purchased super8 camera. It's a Nizo 6080. Since i really dont have much experience with super8 i was wondering if there are any DO's and DONT's i should remember and keep in mind. I am considering a "test run" and spend like 1 or 2 rolls of film to test the camera with diffrent lights in diffrent locations.. however, since at least some of you seem to have a lot of experience with super8 i thought maybe i should take to oppertunity and ask about some things i've been wondering about. 1. How many of you use the internal lightmeter as oppose to an external one? 2. At the moment i have 10 rolls of Kodak vision2 200T, does anyone of you have any experience with this one? Did you notice any conditions when this stock was extra good/bad? 3. now for the big one: Is there anyone who can simplify all this stuff about exposure, aperture, light, shutter speed, F/stops etc? However, i do want to point out that I am not a total newbie in this matter.. I do know what the terms are and what they represent etc. -- however, what i cant seem to get heads or tails from is the part when you get all this numbers and reading and make something useful out of them.. that's the area where i need some pointers? (..anything - webpages? personal experiences? what ever can help me..) i hope i made myself clear about that last question cause i found it a bit hard to explain my dilemma. Anyhow, thanks in advance :) cheers,
