Hi everyone,
I am just reaching out to see if anyone has advice for a fairly specific set of circumstances.
I currently shoot a lot of personal and wedding film on super8 and my Bolex H16 Rex 5. I’m finding that the Bolex is often distractingly loud and that it’s difficult to quickly load and reload during a wedding.
I’ve done a heap of research and I can’t seem to find an option for a quiet, semi portable, 400ft 16mm camera, that I can reasonably afford.
It may very well be that I just need to live with the loud bolex and get better at loading!
My realistic budget would not be any more than $4000US or so. I’ve read plenty of discussions about Aatons or Arri BL style cameras but am unsure if they’d be fit for purpose. Even if budget is no question I am not sure if there’s an ideal camera for these circumstances.
Any help or advice from you very experienced people would be much appreciated!
