Thanks for responding Zac, Glen, and Todd! Thats really helpful! Any thoughts on where you would send your camera for service? Places you use and trust?

Hello, I am new to the Super 8 world and I'm browsing the various online shops to try and track down a working Super 8 camera. There is a ton to learn about this format, so first let me say that I'm reading everything I can get my hands on but wanted to get some feedback from this crowd of experts. I'm wanting to buy a Super 8 camera that can do the following. - Shoot in various fps 18, 24, possibly 60? - Zoom lens or interchangeable lenses that shoot at f1.4, f2.8 and can shoot from at least 24 - 70mm - Lens that gets sharp images (or as sharp as possible with super 8) 1. What camera's (name and model please) would you buy that are within a $500 budget. 2. Is there any sort of site that anyone could recommend that could give me a condensed education on film types, developing processes, shooting techniques, etc? Thanks for helping a newbie out!
