I was in ...

Just a question of interest...Has anyone here played around with the PXl 2000? I just got one off Ebay. Works about 80% which makes for quite a fun expereimental camera.
I Do alot of expereimenting in S8, and would recommend this fun little camera to anyone else that does.
Even though it is video ...

The second thing was that it always seemed to be doing slow timelapse! It turned out that the selector switch was mis-ligned when it had been re-assembled, so would never stop! So much for a qualified tech!!!


THis sounds like the same problem as im having, how would i go about fixing this, is ...

I have this beautiful nizo 6080 and kit I bought off ebay, my first big buy, and i cant get it to work?!
When i recieved it, the camera had ni-cad batteries included that took a charge, but only ran the camera about half the time i turned it on. when it did run, it ran great, and when it didnt ...

So, in a few days im going to be in the Utah desert, with nothing to do but think. I thought it would be great to use one of my filmstocks. either K40, 200T, or 500T to capture the sunset, then the movment of the stars, (hoping its clear out), and then the sunrise.
Ill be shooting, with either the ...

:D the "flowers in my hair" was a nice touch super8man!

and thank you actor for the great tavel advice, id like to see the grand canyon again. but ive never seen southern utah and i hear its amazing, so i think ive decided on the latter route instead. i am a bit of a science buff too, so id like to ...

Ive finally made the move out of Atlanta and Im travelling acreoss the country ending in sanfran. Ive found myself staying with my brother in Albuquerque, but intend to leave soon, and i have a box of plus-x and K40, 500t and 200t. Ive never done this before and i welcome any advice, on where i ...

it definitly isnt the auto iris. ive marked down that sound. the sound happens when i first turn on the camera, either nothing works, or there is this minute long whine. ive put brand new charged batteries in and the camera persists, it only works fine about half of the time the rest is unexpected ...

The claw in the gate seems to be working fine, i marked some film and it wen through with no problem. What do the sounds resemble when the auto iris is adjusting?

So i just bought a beautiful 6080 off of eBay. It looked like it came direct from the factory, everything included. The seller told me that he used it for a few music film shoots, and had it recently serviced by an "expert in germany" I didnt ask who though, yet.
Anyways, I charged up the ...

I got into to Super 8 filmmaking just over a year ago. Presently Im addicted. Ive collected over 6 unique cameras, 2 projectors, and an editor/viewer; some of these items were found through eBay, but most through second hand shops.
My advice:
-Be a dumpster diver!
-Shoot on Super8 and edit on your ...

i am transfering to video via my PC, then onto DVD

instead of going through all the lens finding and buying and then mounting buisness, i think ill just end up croping at 16:9 for now. i have a good matte box with my new camera nizo 6080 and i was thinking of just creating a 16:9 cardstock matte ...

great link. thank you steveH

So I would like to take my 80mm lens to 1.5x or 2x anamorphic, but from the sound of it, its not likely with the lenses that are out there.
is there a chance that there would be an anamorphic lens that would work with that big of a lens?
