Tom Hepburn Posted January 6, 2009 Share Posted January 6, 2009 I would ask: When was it serviced, by whom, and is there a receipt?. Who did the conversion to Super 16? Is there documentation? When was the last time it was used? Can you see some footage or stills? What a the available frame rates? If you're in Amsterdam you may want to make sure it will run at 25 fps. I would also, check into the cost of shipping there on my own (given the wieght). I'm not sure if there is a tax specific to your country, but that will add to the cost. I wouldn't get too excited about the filters, closeup "filters" or the film short ends, just make sure the camera itself works well. However, having done the same thing, I would send it to a camera tech and have it checked out and make sure it's ready to go. I wish I would have done it that way, as I spent unnecessary money on finding out that my camera needed a tuneup. I would start there. Good luck, Tom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
