Was thinking about getting one of these as my first R8 camera, wonder if the cassettes are easily loaded..

Maybe just go with the Canon if thats yr favorite off the list... 320asa is less than one stop over exposed and i don't think thats a bad thing for 500T, i've heard you can get finer grain and better color saturation if you overexpose one stop. you can easily just open up the lens if you really need to be shooting at 500asa

Looking to buy a Minette S-5 viewer in good shape. Lemme know if you have one

Well,, Joe doesn't seem to want to sell me his nautica parts so anyone else have them?

pm'd

still looking for the handle,, also looking for the orange viewfinder the camera originally comes with. lemme know if you got one

How's it! Looking for someone who can scan 2 tri-x super 8 films and possibly prep for telecine? I'm waiting on getting the film back from processing at spectra film and video and i wasn't able to have them do the prep for telecine because they have a minimum charge... If yr willing to do it i'd be happy to pay for yr time. Just looking to save some money. Best, Christopher

Anyone have any experience with Film Photography Project's super 8 scans? Seems like they're one of the cheapest around. My first roll i was lucky enough to get scanned for free from a guy on this forum,, but the dude isn't really active on here anymore which is a bummer.. /:

I've got the camera, just looking for the bottom handle part to make it easier to hold while filming. If ya got the part let me know!

I’ll look into the R10. Whats the differences between the R10 models?

thanks for the insight! i may just end up looking into cameras with a good zoom lens, or the nikon r10. What do you think about the Canon 1218? Seems like it would be good for surfing shots from the beach.

i like the nizo’s but the highest film speed it reads is only 160asa. I want something that can go up to 400 to 600 asa. Manually being able to adjust film speed seems like it would save the of headache trying to figure out what the camera is actually going to be exposing the film as. Is the 4008 really the only true variable speed? i thought other brands made cameras with this option and i’ve heard that beaulieu’s require good maintenance in order to work well, something i can’t afford.

actually, nevermind. i can’t seem to find out how to delete this post. i’ll be looking for super 8 camera recommendations first before posting a WTB

any recommendations for some good sharp super 8 cameras that enable me to manually adjust the speed of the film? a good zoom lens or interchangeable lens ability would be a plus, but i dunno if i can afford one that allows for changing lenses. I have a Nizo S 560 and im looking for a step up. my budget is around $300 or less. thanks!

hows it, im looking for a fully working beaulieu 6008. let me know what ya got. best, christopher
