I was using Tri-X 7266. I used the 25mm lens that was on the B&H. :) I got about that much time, but we wound the camera after about every 3 takes, just to make sure it was nice and tight. I don't know the max ASA the camera can take but I bet pretty much anything. As if you set the lens manuelly then you just have to know how much light to let in with the film speed your shooting. Tri-X outdoors is 200ASA and I think it turned out really well. ;) Thanks for watching and I'm glad you enjoyed this little test.
Nice to see some loyal support for the Bell and Howell 240! I've used it mainly for school (have two bodies) with the Angenieux zoom lens (allows you to frame your pictures). I have an extra camera I'm probably putting on ebay very soon. But here is a still shot with the camera I have. (it was telecined and colors adjusted at home on my computer)
