Could you be a bit more specific? Have you shot Super 8 film before?

The camera is noisy and the rotation of the aperture ring of the Cinegon is too free. This is normal, alas!

Its more' the fact that I am not use to this camera ? As you know every super 8 camera is very different in the way its feels and sounds !
Just was looking for some feed back on the Leicina Special s character s , which it has plenty of ! the way you hold it /to the way it sounds ,

And also what to check for ?

In the end/ took Lens to be repaired , Hope this will not cost so much , But thank you for your input !

I got the Lens report Back ' it was some screw's loose , cost me around 70 euros to be fixed !

I really hope I can now put this great Lens to work !

Good luck.

It is a bit of standard problem with Leicina Special lenses.
Who repaired it?

Had it fixed by NCRR Reflex in Amsterdam , he did a very good job and a nice man to deal with
I guess it's all part of using old camera's and lenses ,

I now hope this is it with the Leicina ," not like the beaulieu 4008 and that Battery !

Just dev my first test film" which I shot with my Leicina Special " this was with the 10mm cinegon lens when it was wobble , before I had it fixed ,

to my surprise it still came out really sharp , I have never seen super 8 film this sharp , Not even with my Beaulieu zm 4008 and the 10 mm cinegon I have used which was very good !

You hear so much about this camera to the point you go yea yea yea ,

And till you use it youself !
