Hi all, I have been given a working Arri 16SR1.... it's great, although it is missing a viewfinder which, even in my limited experience, is rather essential... I was wondering if anyone out there has a regular optical viewfinder they want to get rid of?? This is the J-Bar et al... cheers kris pic attached for clarity thanks again...

great, thanks for your help tim. anyone out there got one?! kris

hi jerri, i'm pretty new to lighting for super 8mm film too, but what i found invaluable during the course of the day was having my Nikon DSLR to hand for reference... the exposure latitude for reversal film is very similar to my DSLR, therefore if you set it up to the same settings as your super 8 camera you can use it to spotmeter and take reference shots. i use a f1.8 50mm lens as it gives the same stop as my super8 lens... the ISO on the DSLR only goes down to 100 so to spot for 64T you'd have to compensate with the shutter and/or f stop the manual for the super8 camera you buy should give you the shutter details... i'll give you an example... my DSLR suggests shooting at ISO 100 f3.3 at 1/45 super 8 camera setting should be ISO 64 f1.8 at 1/45 hope this helps, i know it's not professional advice but i found it works!

Hi Art, thanks for your speedy reply... i feared it might be something like this... i might just have to look into getting it serviced! thanks again. Kris

Hello all, I have a Canon 1014 Auto Zoom Electronic super 8mm camera and was wondering if anyone has come across this problem before.... my camera tends to keep running despite taking my finger off, sometimes it's for a few seconds while on other occasions it requires turn the main power switch to 'off' to get it to stop running!! obviously this isn't good as i'm wasting precious film!! it's in the 'run' position not the 'run lock' position... any thoughts? thanks in advance...
