well I had to get that of my chest anyway ..

If you have the original manual, there may be a picture of the key in there. I'm not going to suggest you can just use a makeshift one and stick it in. However, I have no reason to believe you can't either :wink:

Are you going to post the same question for all cameras you are considering to buy?

Huh?

Hey everyone,

If any one knows much about these cameras, any advice would be very helpful!

Thanks,

Steven.

Well i had a fair idea that it might be a little noisy. Only problem is my next film is a rather "intimate" project (a few actors in a room, lots of close ups, etc.). I might still buy an R-10 if i can. But i have to be ready to accept the possibility that i wont be able to record sound at the same ...

Hey,

I was thinking about buying one of these. Ive heard they're built like a tank. I was also quite impressed by the Super 8 in "Sleep Always" which i hear was shot on a Nikon.

Anyway, the usual issue here, if anyone has used one of these, any serious noise problems?

Thanks,

Steven.

No problem timdrage, i might do a test first. Ill train my friends in the art of smoke control.

If it helps i have a Lowel kit. 2 x 500w omni lights and one 800w ...

Hey everyone!

Im starting a super 8 short in a couple of weeks and recently started reading up on filters. I was planning on using Plus X (to get a finer grain structure). One worry i had was that i would not get enough contrast, as some Plus X footage i have seen has been more grey than B&W ...

Hello guys!

Well i have my TRI-X and my PLUS-X that i found on ebay :wink: , and soon enough im gonna make a short film in Super 8 Black and White :D . After reading into the two film stocks, ive decided to shoot the Interior scenes in Tri-X and the Exterior scenes in Plus-X. Anyway, ill cut to the ...

I need to send off some K40 soon :D , and i need to have it done in about a week! I have never sent my film direct to switzerland before (I live in the UK, and always send it to the place in London that it tells me to send it to on the pre-paid mailer), but i would like to after hearing about this ...
