Sorry, don't know anyone.

I'd put the D12 on par with the Canon 1014 and Nikon R10. The D12 is built like a tank, it'll make the Canon 1014 feel like a plastic toy in comparison and the lens is as sharp as any fixed zoom lens Super 8 you'll find. The main downside is that the fast speeds (32, 54 fps) require the annoying ...

I believe the 18-5L super 8 model was the one which requires the rare 75w space lamp. Years ago I was lucky and got an 18-5L on ebay for $20 and it was already converted to use EFN lamps

Is that one of those Canon AF310 XL-S?

Nothing goes with Super 8 like a drink and a smoke

I'm pretty sure its got 24 fps. I had one briefly and the thing I remember most was how quiet it was. Maybe it was just that one but it was like Nizo quiet.

Don't quote me on this but I thought I recall reading that the built in interval timer of the XL-S has limited fixed settings. I have the accessory timer for the AZ and it is quite versatile - you can set any interval time you please from 1 second up to 1 minute.

Doesn't the XL-S have the same ...

Focal brand camera surface on ebay Australia quite frequently... I'm guessing they're a cheap rebadge of a japanese or other camera? I believe they were sold by Kmart... though I can't remember where I heard/read that. There's one called an XL300 going at the moment ... anyone had any experience ...

Hi i´m looking for a good R8 camera.
Which is for you the best R8 camera?
thanks

For me the best is the Bolex K2. I truly believe its got the best zoom lens ever made for R8, the Switar 8-36mm. Its got a slightly small but nice TTL viewfinder with ground glass focussing, 12-48 fps, variable ...

Nope, either the daylight filter is in place or the clear filter. Putting the filter key in puts the clear filter in place.

Overpriced, probably but it sure gives me a woody looking at those pics!

Probably the reasons why Kodak (maybe when John Pytlak is better,he can shed some light here)didn't adopt 20 fps as the super 8 default speed was because standard 8mm ran at 16fps and home movie makers were used to that.They probably forsaw the need for dual 8 projectors and envisioned a period ...

I've just aquired a bolex M8 projector.

It definitely looks like a 50's space age work of art, and I have heard of people saying it is their favourite standard 8 projector, but I would just like to know a bit more about it! Can anyone tell me anything?

Also, I've seen people mention the ...

I sent in several sound cartridges to Dwaynes about 5 years ago and they develped them fine.

I tried one once.

Negatives, It is easily the heaviest Super 8 cartridge camera I've ever held. On a tripod it is crap due to the fixed position handgrip (needs a brace). The viewfinder image is somewhat dim which makes the semi useless microprism focus screen even worse.

Positives, images i got ...

Here's the instructions on how to lubricate your Bolex.
