Kyle Stolis Posted January 12, 2009 Share Posted January 12, 2009 Hello all, If anyone knows where The Film Group has gone I would appreciate any info on them. I'm looking to get my camera sync'd and cannot find them anywhere. all the links I click on bring me to a page saying " Hometown has been shut down". Please, if you know how to contact them let me know. Thank you for your help Kstolis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you for your help Kstolis i don't know where they are, sorry. i think du-all camera in nyc would do a crystal synch mod on your camera- probably expensive but worth a try.

Giles Perkins Posted January 12, 2009 Share Posted January 12, 2009 I noticed this today too - sadly a lot of the old-school Super 8 websites have gone with the close of AOL hometown. We have updated links on here... http://homepage.mac.com/onsuper8/shoot.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kevin jackman Posted January 18, 2009 Share Posted January 18, 2009 if you are thinking of converting a camera that has a 1:1 shaft i would look at getting a tobin sync motor and mechanically adapting it. it offers way more flexability for not a lot of money.
