Hi all, I recently bought a 16mm cine camera off ebay as I've always had a interest in film rather than digital (also it was a bit of a bargain, or maybe not we'll soon find out!) and I was wondering what you might be able to tell me about it, or recommend where to go from here.
Here is the camera:

It's a Ensign Simplex Pockette 16mm Cine Camera, Model C.C and from what I understand it has a clockwork motor and is still in working order and works at 12 and 16 fps as well as having a single frame setting.
As I mentioned I'm more or less a complete amateur but it comes with the original manual so I figured I'd give it a shot. I mostly wanted to use it for stop motion animation and also for a bit of traveling and I've already checked out a couple of websites for film etc so I was just wondering if anyone had any experience with this camera or has any advice to pass on to me.
I'll update the post when I get the camera anyway.
Thanks!
Chris
