What about a Beaulieu S2008 Super 8 Movie Camera, I found a model listed under 10, says they, "have no way of powering this camera therefore no way of testing. The camera viewing optics look to need cleaning. The body shows use with scratches and scuffs. unable to open the battery compartment. Camera sold AS IS for Parts or Repair." Lens is 1 inch Wollensak... ?worth purchasing?

Also, what should expect for cost of film and processing?

Hi, I'm a photographer wanting to experiment with older film and movie cameras. I've been doing some research on super 8 movie cameras and am very intrigued. It started when I stumbled across a listing for a Keystone k612 Super 8 being sold on Craigslist for pretty cheap ($20) and it I started to think that could be a very cool medium to explore, classic video footage! So, I'm wondering if those of you who are more seasoned veterans of Super 8s could give me some tips on brands, instructional books, anything to get me started. What should I look for when buying, which brands would you advise to stay away from? I've seen a lot of Bell & Howell and Argus on Ebay, but haven't seen them mentioned in these threads as anything special. Just wanting to make an educated purchase and know where to go from there.
