In addition to the exposer window and the view finder, It should also, I suppose, change the adapter plate lenses to increase the focal length of 2.2 mm and focus it on the middle of the width of the exposed film?

After partially disassembled the camera (the side of the axes of the film reel), I was able to unjam the motor shaft that was blocked. The mechanism works now. But the camera only runs at 16fps. At 48 fps, the motor stops (?). The lighmeter does not work (the engine is running, but has no effect on ...

The abnormal noise of the projector seems to depend on the speed. It appears from a certain speed and beyond a higher speed, it disappears, and reappear if the speed decreases.

I just bought a Bolex G3 projector. It seems to have very little use. It must date from 1950. I disassembled for lubrication (grease and oil). The mechanism seems in good condition. When I do turn the mechanism with the knob (8), everything seems normal, no special resistance. When I run the motor w...

I solved my problem. It was not the setting distance of the shooting lens, but the finder lenses (without adjustment). One of these lenses was not completely screwed. It remained 1 mm apart. The image in the Finder was completely blurred. And for screwing it completely, I had to use multi-plug plier...

How to adjust the focus of the viewfinder lenses of a Bell & Howell camera Filmo 70 DL so that what appears in the viewfinder remains sharp when changing viewfinder lens? I have two viewfinder lenses, one is for the focal 1", the other for the 0.7". If I set the viewfinder to get a sha...

Simply connect the electrical contacts on the camera with a battery set (4 x 1.2V for the 2008) to see if it works.

“Easiest way to open a super8 cartridge for home processing ?”

Why open the cartridge, so you can easily pull the film by breaking the lock of the axis of the spools ?

I’ve heard bad things about the Beaulieu 4008, what do you guys have to say? Thanks a lot for your comments! The 2008/4008 Beaulieu cameras require new batteries (the original ones are useless), which are very expensive (outrageously expensive). Internal gelatins filters of Beaulieu 4008/200...

There is a Pan-Cinor 3.8/17-85 mm (much more compact) which has a filter thread of 43mm (length 100 mm, weight 290 gr).
