I’m not too experienced with this. I notice the flares of course and also the strange and beautiful appearance of bokeh with them. What else makes an anamorphic lens a good choice for use?

Hey, I’m trying one out now. But do you know why it has this screw in the back part? The guy said it’s to tighten the rear focusing but I don’t see it in any other ones. (The picture I take of it with my phone keeps telling me nuts bigger than allowable file for this post)

I have a run-of-the-mill refrigerator/freezer unit in my kitchen and two unopened boxes of Kodak Super8. I can put them in the fridge until i need them in February or March? I want to be sure the manufacturer's wrapping and box is ok in the fridge and I don't need a special bag.

How did it work out Gabi? I also wish it were mechanical. I'm hoping manual will hold up long enough to make some good things. Jeff at DuAll told me to be very careful with the turning of that because if it breaks it's hard to fix, requiring opening it all up. Cheers, DEK

Perhaps I should treat 32 degrees F the same? It's dry but about 32 F now outside and I got this Canon 1014 S8 camera at DuAll Camera....they did a full CLA but it sounds like that isn't entirely relevant. (It's 83 F in my apt!)

Got a 1014 last week. Now it's 30-45˚ F out so I'll go try to find one of these, since the warranty expired about 48 years ago.

Thanks Joerg, Yes i see it has this switch to jump up to that 54 fps.

Thanks David, Watched some videos on shutters so it makes more sense now.

Thanks Mark, Yeah been studying up on the whole thing today. I'll just shoot where it's best and make the most of it. Very fun.

Hey Patrick, My Canon 1014 Auto Zoom Super 8 camera manual says it has a max shutter angle of 150˚. According to an online calculator, having entered 150˚ angle at 18 fps = 1/43.2 of a second in terms of shutter speed. Pictured below is the options on the Canon. There's O, 2 is 1/2, 4 is 1/4, C is closed. Is the idea that 150˚ is close enough for the human eye? The online calculator had no 1/36 option. I'm new at this so I'm trying to learn some more about shutter angle

Hello! I got a Canon 1014 Auto Zoom Super 8 camera. It has a variable shutter angle 0 to 150 degrees. Now why isn't 180 degrees available? For that matter, why wouldn't anything from 0-360 degrees be available? It's got 18 fps, 24 and about 54 for slow motion. Can someone help me to decide how to properly understand and set my shutter angle on this cool old camera?

DuAll Cameras sells film movie cameras: http://www.duallcamera.com/ They're in Westfield, NJ. It's a trip from Albany but I think they're one of the few if not the only ones, and their reputation precedes them, which counts for a ton if buying an old film camera, unless you also fix and restore them.

Woh, that's amazing. I'm gonna chegidout. Thanks!

Oh man, sorry this got totally lost in the months. Thanks guys for the input!

This was a cartridge of Kodak Vision 3 500T. As far as I know, there's no sign in viewfinder, but there could be and i haven't seen it illuminate yet. Very scant info on this camera online. Actually, zero info haha. Even the folks at Leica US have no idea. Even the folks at Leica GERMANY HQ have no idea.

On the Leicina Super there's no indication of the film ending point. There's only the red portion of the run flag has filled the entire vertical frame made for it on the left of the viewfinder, indicating you have roughly 1/4 of the reel left. Since I did testing both in 24 and 18 I can't really know how much time that is. As far as I can tell.

From what you said, I get some important and helpful points. That it would be unusual for the motor to stop once the film runs out is comforting. That suggests it's ok that it keeps going. The Manual you've got there is for the RT-1. I have the previous model, the basic Leicina Super. I'd mentioned "the skinny indicator window on the left side of the viewfinder": that's what you refer to as the run flag. That runs well. We'll see when it gets developed. ] Funnily, I contacted Leica in the US, trying to find a manual for this model. They said nobody anywhere knows anything, email the German Leica HQ. I did, and nobody there knows anything.

The skinny indicator window on the left side of the viewfinder showed all red, indicating roughly the final 1/4 of the 50' cartridge left. But i just felt 'this is going too long.' The sound didn't really change and there was no hard stop as with a tape recorder, but I'm new to all this so I wouldn't know. So I finally opened it, and indeed the EXPOSED was printed there, indicating it's finished. But now I wonder just how long I'd been grabbing shots, the motor chugging away, capturing nothing. More to the point, might something be wrong? Surely continuing to operate the motor while it's no longer turning the film isn't good...? DEK

Right, thanks Mark!

Hey Simon, Is there an English version ? I just got a Leicina Super.

I'm a nooby but the information on shutter angle for the leicina (i have a leicina super) says "shutter angle <180 degrees" Is this to say "less than 180 degrees"? Thanks

___________ I was concerned that if you put in a cartridge of anything higher than 400asa---which i think means 250D, available from pro8mm, is the fastest film available for the Super---you will have to meter yourself. But i didn't see any way to manually adjust aperture, so if you got say 200T in there, and that's 125asa outside, would you apply that one-stop exposure adjustment? Is that enough? I need to learn these relationships of stops better. Cheers!

Is the Leicina Super RT1 a different camera from the Leicina Super? I can't seem to find that online. What dos RT stand for btw? Cheers!

Loved this. And at 1:37 the cut to the zoom into the sunset with the start of the new musical phrase is beautiful and engaging

Can someone tell me what type of mode I would be best using on my computer screen for doing post? I'm just learning, the situation is me shooting something, then editing and practicing correction etc on my iMac iMac (Retina 5K, 27-inch, 2019) in my apartment, and posting it on vimeo, youtube etc. That's it. Thanks! DEK
