Selling off three cameras on Ebay: Bolex H16 Canon Scoopic-16 CP-16R crystal sync camera Please PM me here if interested in buying directly from me, also happy to provide more pictures or even video.

I am also in the market for one of these!

I recently acquired a CP16R for shooting sync sound. Will mostly be shooting live bands at an art / performance space that I work at. This is the only 16mm sync camera that we have available but do have non-sync ones (K-3s and also some decent S8 cams like Canon 814xl-e and 514xl-s). There is an opportunity to buy a non-reflex CP16, and having two crystal-sync cameras to work with is certainly appealing but I don't believe I'm skilled enough to get decent results with a non-reflex camera, from what I've read. So, how to make do with a mix of sync and non? Use the non's for crowd / room shots, close ups where sync sound isn't necessarily an issue, or brief shots where syncing in post wouldn't be too time-consuming? Advice appreciated! Thanks.

Yes, this was done at Dwayne's. It was cheap but ultimately not worth it for this transfer. I've seen good and bad ones from them. Pro8mm transfers seem a little out of my price range right now for what I'm doing (amateur hour shooting). Is there a "next step up" from Dwayne's?

Just watched the reel...the actual film looks so much nicer, of course!

Hi all, I've been reading this forum for a few months now but haven't posted. Got the Super 8 bug somehow through collecting and screening 16mm films & projectors, eventually wanted to get on the "other side" of things. Just got back my first roll of film that I've ever shot, Ektachrome 100d with a Canon XL Electronic (also my first S8 camera). Footage is from Las Vegas and the Grand Canyon. Not 100% happy but thrilled to be able to see something that I shot...can't wait to get home tonight and watch the actual reel instead of the video of it!
