Sneak preview: Elmo Super Filmatic 110 - The Best Super 8?

Post by **super8man** » Fri Feb 27, 2004 4:24 am

OK folks,

In case you didn't view the Elmo manual request post, I am taking this camera, the Elmo Super Filmatic 110, to film a Nascar race. I figure it will travel better than the Canon 814XLS.

Needless to say, this is an AWESOME camera. Here are two pictures and my new method to protect my images.

Grrrreat idea!

First picture, I'd put your web address slightly lower, in the center of the picture.

You also might want to make the wed address different size letters, like the serial killers do. 8O

Yeah, I also plan to curve the colors from one color into another color so you cannot just do a color replacement. I may also sink the text into a shadow-like look. Not bad for $10. Thanks for not over bidding me.

hahaha!

I think you can focus down to the lens on that camera, and you don't have to turn the camera on to find out!

I have the Super 104 your cameras little brother. It has the biggest brightest finder I have ever seen on a super-8 camera. I almost bid on your camera but I was broke after buying my 17-year-old son a car this week 8O It's a simple camera but has 18, 24fps and manual exposure. What more could you want? Congratulations on the camera. If a super-110R shows up on eBay the bidding war is on!

No worries, I won't outbid anyone on ebay if I know who it is - There are only a few super 8 items left and even at that I am not sure if I really need anything more (notice the word "NEED"). I am just happy the 110 I got does not need those pesky 1.35volters. Phew.

Cheers,
Michael

Yeah same camera as my favourite super 8 cam, just mine doesn't say "filmatic" anywhere...gorgeous piece of kit. I'm taking one to the British Formula 1 Grand Prix this year

I have the manual if you need a copy.

And yes, it travels very well. Mine has flown transatlantic twice and around Europe. The carry case protects it well and holds two films.

Congratulations! I was within a hair's breadth of bidding on this one (I promised my wife I wouldn't get ANOTHER camera until after tax time, she'd kill me if another one showed up in the mail) what a deal, $10. I wanted it as a backup for my Super104, which is THE most reliable camera I own. The reason I need a backup, actually, is because my NIZO S80 gave out on me while shooting last weekend, aarggh! So, I'm back to my Elmo, the only camera I have that I can rely upon %100 of the time (knock on wood).

If anyone got it, I'm glad it was you, now at least we get to read the reviews! I'm sure you won't be dissappointed.

Hmm, nice camera, only one extra speed (54) and a slightly more powerful zoom than the Elmo Super 104 8O

What do you care if someone takes your images?
You want money for 'em?
It's not like you *painted* them.

Sure he painted them. He painted them with :idea:
