Bell & Howell 70-DR wanted

There are typically a few Filmo 70's on eBay at any given time. At present:

 

- 70 DA (older, brown '40's era, primitive viewfinder) with TT&H lenses, and cheap:

- 70 DR or DL? '50's era, no lenses, way overpriced:

- 70 DA (brown) with Zeiss & TTH lenses, cheap:

- but nothing that meets your specifications this week. I saw a couple of DR's with Angenieux lenses there within the past month, so keep an eye out.

Thanks.

 

Yeah, I've been watching ebay. I got outbid on a nice one a week or so ago. Exactly what I wanted too. I set my max price to $400 and it went for $405.

 

Oh it was a sad day.

How about this one then, with Angenieux & TTH lenses:

- currently at $51.00

 

I'm a bit wary of that one because she says it doesn't come with lens caps. Does'nt that pretty much guarantee there'll be crap all over the lens?

 

Thanks for hunting though.

I'm waitng on a filmo now. I bought one and it is being shipped. I had the same question you did. And still do. But I read where one guy said the filmos during the 40's or after could shoot single perf. Anyway, i believe the ones that can are because the other sprocket is missing due to where that is where sound went. So you can run single perf through the newer models. I'm sure the 70's ones where news tv used them are single perf. Also the filmo lenses will not put a super 16mm image onto the super 16mm film. The lenses and stuff are made for regular 16mm so you will get a regular 16mm image on super 16mm film. But you can still use super 16mm which is always available. Also from what i've read the regular 16mm image would have to be cropped at top and bottom to make a cinematic 35mm blow up in the U.S.A. But regular 8mm is just right for the television.
