Anyone on here but this baby

There was a crystal sync and power grip going about the same time too - would have been pretty nice - if I wasn't such a broke student.

I was tempted but was broke from buying Yemi's Elmo DS8 gear and a sweet Canon DS-8 from eBay a couple weeks ago

:?

of all the 8mm film cameras the canon DS8 must be one of the sweetest - I'm truely jealous - my quarz ds8 just doesn't compare - but I'm pleased you for you - hope you enjoy.

I hope that DS8 Boley went to a film maker rather than a collector - that would be too much of a waste.

I bought one a few months ago. It's just sitting there doing nothing. I guess I better use it! I wish I know what 400' magazine mount it had on it. I got fomapan to agree to do a run of 400' loads of DS8 for me if I can figure out how to use it.

If its not the Bolex Mogazine mount , possibly its a Mitchell monnt as that .was the most popular alternate mount. Let's dee a picture of the mount.

Didn't they require the minimum order of USD2000 ?
That would be a change of heart. Or are stocking up on Fomapan R100 DS8?

Yeah, but then again if I'm going by some 400' reels of Super8mm film, I might as well buy more than just 10. I think they said I needed to buy 30. Wanna go in on it with me?

Here's some pics of the mount:

If you got any idea on what is supposed to fit on this, please let me know.

Hi Konton,

That JK Cameras modification to accept 400 magasines. I had Jk add the mount to my DS8 Bolex which I sold about 2 yrs ago.

Yes, but what kinda of 400' magazines? I have no idea. And I also don't have whatever piece it takes to close that top.

Well, 30pcs will easily be over USD 2000.
I would like to opt for a few rolls of DS8 Fomapan R100 400ft.
Want to split and use it in Kaccema or 200ft modded cart

I'm down for this. But first I need that 400' magazine. I need to know which ones will fit on this!

Post by **Dave Hardy** » Tue Aug 02, 2005 1:03 am

Really? Good to know. I got the impression from others this was not for a bolex motor.

Eh, I'm ending my interest in DS8. Anyone want this camera? If you got $450 + shipping it's yours!

Post by **Dave Hardy** » Tue Aug 02, 2005 2:31 am

Its got nothinf to do with the motor. The Mag has a motor the cable frrom the mag motor attaches to the motor drrive on the camerra (MST, ESM Tobin's moror etc).

Any lenses come with the camera?
