Being a newbie myself when I first asked about buying cameras here it was sugested to go to http://www.super8camera-shop.com/shop/ they seem to be a very good service as long as you don't mind having your stuff shipped in. They test and service everything which you don't get from most places/people online. In fact I am pretty sure this is where Matthew got his 1012 from. Here is a link to his post on them as well http://www.cinematography.com/forum2004/in...showtopic=31691

Not to add to your misery but up to today Dwaynes had 64t on Ebay for 15 with free shipping. Seems they are doing this regularly as a promotion for their services.

Very beautiful. A pleasure to watch, thank you.

If only it shipped worldwide ;)

Since this got bumped I've got another question for you guys. Looking at super8 wiki for cameras that meter correctly and some of the entries can be confusing. For example it says that the Nizo compacts 136, 148, 156 won't meter correctly. But these all come in the "XL" version too and it doesn't mention these. Does anyone know offhand if they can meter properly?

Thank you Michael and Rick for your responses. I think that I am going to film some footage and then send it to one of the shops that are near me with budget prices then if it doesnt seem quality enough for me I will try out SPectra or one of the other "pro" cine's. Thank you again.

Hello everyone. First of all a big thank you to those that put that Super 8 readers digest topic together it has greatly helped me. I have always had a love for the look of film and am now interested in getting into it strictly as a home movie type of user. Wedding, famliy etc. As I said I've read through the help forums here as well as some other sites but I still have a few questions that i'd like to pose to the Vets here. First I want to make sure I have a few things correct. If I want to film then have it processed then play directly on a projector I need to use Reversal? Secondly when it comes to telecine is there a huge difference (that I will notice with simple home movies) between Say Spectra's services at $275 an hour or smaller sites that offer to do it for .10-.20 a ft.? I ask because for simple home use if we shoot 48 rolls (for the wedding for example) and have it tele'd at spectra that can get up there cost wise. If this is the best route would I be better off getting one of the home telecine kits that would cost me about the same amount(IE a Workprinter) but allow me to always do my own stuff at home? Thank you all in advance for you help.
