I guess once you have the magazines loaded it is also extremely easy to "load" the camera so that makes up a little for the 1 minute 23 second run time.

That's still more time than a 35mm Eyemo! (1:06)

Some time ago I bought a Krasnogorsk 16mm magazine camera. I must spool film over to core. Even first I must wind off spool, and than wind on to core. Coz I use single perf. I made simple jigg for this with small crank, and use innside dark bag. But when I should put my film into magazine, I had got a shock. The film (100 ft Ektachrome 100) was too big to fit into magazine. The diameter was maybe only 2 mm too much. So I had to wind back some meters. But now I split all films in half, so I use 50 ft. This probably means new films are slightly thicker?
