Here is the right side view of the same camera I have, there is a 1.25" long slot on top, behind the lens, and to the right of the center line (just above the Kodak logo). there is no metal key in it. There is the knob, on the right side, just in front of where the film cartridge would end when inserted, it has two settings. I do not know what this does, but it is right in front of where the shutter mechanism is located inside the film cartridge space. Could this knob be the filter mechanism? or is the slot on top the keyslot you were referring to? I don't think a screwdriver will fit into the slot.

What is the metal key? Does it come with the film? or is it part of the camera?

Thanks for the info, will the Ektachrome 100 come already packed in the cartridges? In other words if I get the Ektachrome 100 from http://www.myoldcamera.com/Film.html, will it fit right into the M-6 camera? Also, do you think I will be able to find an ND filter that will fit an M6? or do I have rig it to fit?

Yes, specifically Bill Munns' claim that he found 5 start/stops.

I recently bought a Kodak M-6 Camera, it takes 8mm cartridges, does anyone have any recommended film for outdoor color shooting? Where can I get it? Will this camera self-meter?

Film was shot on a Kodak K100 camera in 1960's, is there any possible way to determine with confidence where the camera operator stopped and restarted the filming? If yes, what should I be looking for? Could edits/splices be mistaken for stops and starts?

Has anyone thought of opening a film school in Michigan? I think we are starting to get a larger chunk of the business, and it would be nice if we could support the production requirements of the films shooting here.

1st of all- who cares if it is bigfoot or not, Bill Munns is asking for your help and you should give it to him, if you so choose, regardless of whether you think it is a costume or a living beast. Bill Munns, Why does it matter what lens this second film you are referring to is shot on? It seems that an overlay would tell you if they used the same lens or not. I'm just a prop guy, so I could be wrong.
