Hopefully something here will be of help. I used one back in April for a 100' short film. Worked great.

thank you. Just got one. Hopefully it works well, It came with a 10 , 16 and 50 lens.
Having been so popular for so long I thought it would have been lots for them on the net.
Thanks for the quality find

Here is a link to a discussion about home processing. I used the B&H for this short film and processed at home to a neg. Crappy video transfer but you get the idea. The camera had been in a closet for 30 years so I gave it a few drops of oil and did a cleaning on it. Ran great and even got used to the odd little fine focusing viewfinder on the side. As I recall we put a piece of tape on the camera with all the things we needed to do before we rolled film. :lol:
We also used an ancient sekonic L28C2 for our light readings.

Notes on the side is a good idea, The camera is in pretty good condition, gave it an oil and runs smooth. All but the pizar 50mm has floppy blade issues and can go to the bottom draw,I have hobson cook 50mm which can go in its place. Looks like a fun camera to use anyway.
