Recommended Posts

I'm looking for a 200ft/60m camera i.e.:

 

Nizo 6080

Nizo 6056

Beaulieu 1028 XL 60

Beaulieu 1068 XLS

 

I believe Sankyo also made 200ft cameras. If there's one I'm missing, let me know I'm looking to do 7 minute takes for scenes. Please PM me or e-mail me if you have one to sell> bfspublicrelations@gmail.com

Beaulieu 6008

Beaulieu 7008

Beaulieu 9008

 

Chinon 200/8 XL Pacific

Chinon 200/12 XL Pacific

 

Cosina MSXL 204M

Cosina MSXL 206M

Cosina MS 208M

 

Elmo 612 S-XL

Elmo 1012 S-XL

Elmo 230 S-XL

Elmo 240 S-XL

Elmo 260 S-XL

 

Kodak Supermatic 60

A few words of warning/bonus about the Chinons. A lot of them are sold as "non-running" or "as-is" with the owners thinking that they are broken. 90% of the time, the drive belt disintegrated. A quick replacement (I use rubber bands) and viola, a $20 paperweight turned into a powerful camera.

Thank you for the tip:)

Why get a camera that accepts 200' film cartridges? Nobody makes that size anymore. Kodak stopped years ago.

 

You can get a SuperMag that holds 400'. Spectra Film will cut down any film you want into any length you need.

Exactly, I'm working on a S-8 project that has a one take sequence that exceeds time capacity of a standard 50'. I own a 200ft mag I can load, and if I ever wanted to venture, I'd get a 400' supermag.
