  1. Well, I've had it for nearly a week but some practice stock wont get to me for a few more days. The battery compartment has some old leakage I need to clean up before testing the meter. As far as metering goes, I'm coming from 35 and 120 still photography. I don't have an actual light meter because I've been using a iPhone light meter app that seems to work well. Is cinematography light reading much different than still photography?
  2. Thank you very much for the info, much food for thought. The reason I mentioned Vision3 50D was because the B&H 240 will only work in auto exposure mode up to 50 ASA. Anything faster and I'll have to break out the light meter or go sunny 16 and hope for the best.
  3. Hello, New member here, bringing up an old thread. So I am your average newbie, wanting to mess around with 16mm short films. Of course I did my research and narrowed it down to the Bolex H16, K3, and Canon Scoopic. But through this forum I learned about the B&H 240 and I was intrigued by the camera itself and the low cost. I grabbed one off an auction site for $17. If it indeed, runs and exposes properly that is a big saving over buying a Bolex or K3. Heck, two batteries for the 240's artificial eye light meter, cost more than the camera. So thanks all for the tip! Film stocks haven't been brought up in over a decade. So, what does everyone think about Kodaks current Vision3 lineup compatability with this camera? I am asuming the 50D would be a good match for color? Any idea on B&W stocks?
