  1. Hello all, I have owned a very good super-8 camera for a little while now and have been mostly shooting outside with whatever availble light there is. Now I want to learn more about lightning scenes and to start off in a very basic way by placing some lights in a room with an actor, both still and moving, and using available light mixed with tungsten lightning. I'll be using the the two available color reversal stocks, kodachrome and ektachrome and the two available reversal B/W stocks, Tri-x and plus-x. The camera I own does not have a very fast lens (F1.8) but it does have the ability to manual adjust exposure via aperture control, fps settings, etc. I would like some suggestions on whether this is a good way to start learning and what else I should be doing. I also want to invest in a basic lighting kit to start off that I can use indoors. In addition I would like to invest in a good light meter. Any suggestions on what I should buy in both cases? I live in manhattan and am going to make a trip down to B&H to look for a good lighting kit. Also browsing on ebay for good lighting kits. I think at some point David Mullen had a post on learning to do lighting this way but I can't find it. Wasn't sure if I should post this on the super 8 forum. Any thoughts or suggestions are most appreciated.
  2. Hello, I am considering purchasing the Bauer A512 camera. Is there anyone on the forum that uses one and if so how has your experience been? Is this camera capable of manual aperture override? Any other recommendations on Super 8 cameras with variable shutter and manual aperture? Thanks in advance
