Lucas,

I maybe interested in your Canon adapter.
Can you email me?

thanks.

I ran across this email address of an regular 8mm shooter: lewisr@cyberhost.delete.com

He posted something related to a Keystone 20 8mm camera today. Maybe he can direct you to where best to order reg 8mm film.

Thanks for the tips so far.

I shoot skate boarding footages on super 8 for that nice raw look. So I just transfer with a projector and a single CCD came. I like the flicker and roughness from this process.

I was just curious about the slowmo with the 18fps shots. I usually shot at 54fps at the ...

Definitely not super8 cameras.

I don't mean to be negative or a spoiler, but I think that a Super 8 camera would better serve you in your entry into film. It's readily available and the camera operation is fool proof. Film handling and loading is also a peice of cake.

A Super 8 is also less prone ...

Has anyone in here created slow motion footage in Final Cut Pro (or any other NLE software) from super8 footage shot originally at 18fps?

I just want decent quality and am not expecting to get smooth 54fps looking stuff.

Congratulations!

For those not in your part of the of the world, post the film online someday if you have the means to do so.

Good luck and happy filming to ya.

Well this post has gotten out of controal man.

But this is what happens when one makes a personal matter public.

In the end, you have to decide for yourself brother.

Talk it over with yourself and no one else. Then make your decision.

I am not familar with the Keystone in question, but if it is what the other posters say it is then I would pass on it.

I would get a nice cheap super 8 camera and shoot black and white film at 18fps for that vintage monochromatic choppy motion look.

I just picked a nice Minolta XL-400 for just $15 ...

Post the ebay link to the cameras you bought. That way, readers can offer some direct answers to questions about these cameras.

My strategy is to wait til the absolute last moment to place a bid. Sometimes it works sometimes it doesn't.

But that is assuming that my schedule permits me to sit in front of that computer at that very moment.

Mike over at American Hero here in L.A. is a good source for Beaulieu experience. I saw about six 4008 for sale there and some other models too.

I was thinking about getting and he gave me some good advice about their quirks regarding power.

I just picked up a Yashica 50xl and was wondering if anyone in here also shoots with this camera.

Any bit of shared advice would be appreciated. There is very little web info on this camera.

Here are some pics of it I found on the web:
