Canon 814/1014XLS vs Beaulieu and Leicina Special comparison

Oh.

BTW. Roger is right for the most part about Pentax. They are great. Except that damn 6x7 he keeps pushing. ;)

Good Luck

Anyone has results of comparison of these cameras?

Any other ideas about this topic?

What I recently discovered was the Bolex H16 Rx far sharper than any S8 camera I've used and I can have 100' processed and printed locally overnight for only slightly more than super 8 (okay nearly twice the price). Projects bigger, brighter and won't damage my original, not to mention the stock choices. I suppose that's a dirtier secret than Single 8.

I'd have to agree, if sharpness is what you're looking for, go 16mm. In this day & age it isn't that much more. A Scoopic is extremely easy to load and use, much like a Super 8 camera if you want it to be... plus it really builds your forearm strength.

I recently bought a Canon 318 that can fit in my pocket (ok, big pockets) that's great for summer shooting with the kids. Only wish it was 24fps. Focusing is difficult and the lens pretty much sucks, but it's fun and easy to use, thus I actually shoot film instead of worrying about formats and cameras.

Hey, don't knock the 6x7! I owned one and it was a great camera. Big time Photographers like Bruce Weber and Mario Testino swear by them.

On a sad note. Today I had to turn down an offer to buy a mint, Pro 8 Beaulieu 4008 ZM II for $400 bucks. After I just bought a new Light Meter.

Here's a little snippet of R10 footage, hand held, zoomed and I drink a fair bit of coffee so excuse the shakes. Plus-X / Andec / my telecine
