Great news. I was explaining how to "fool" the exposure meter of the Canon 514XL for 64T to a new super 8 user this week. It will be easier for him to learn and enjoy moviemaking with automatic exposure. Jean

For 200 asa B+W you mat try to find a Canon 514XLS. It is not the smallest camera but it always give me excellent results and has 24 fps. The Nikon needs separate batteries for exposure meter but will read 64T. Of course you will miss the lightness and portability of the 514XL. Jean

... to wish you all merry Christmas and happy super 8 new year. Jean

Have you tried Chambless? jean

I assume that there were no fluorescent lights near? I had similar problems with my Beaulieu 6008 intermittent battery contact or when the batteries were running low. Jean

Nice Bolex. Jean

Shot tri x and E64T in july with a repaired Beaulieu 4008. Everything came back great. I am waiting for the right time for E100 in double super 8. This week I gave advice for a young guy who wanted to buy a super 8 camera. Jean

Congratulations and a great year of moviemaking. Jean

I did not compare the new stock on the same conditions but the grain seems less apparent. I use a Y2 yellow filter. I find it easier to "think" black and white and be less influenced by the color of the scene when framing. The filter also increase contrast. Good luck. Jean

I also had similar problems with DS8 fomapan stock. I think the lubrification of the film is a problem. Even my Bolex H8 will scratch the film. Jean :?:

True It is not easy to find a word in english that will be pronounced as 'eu'. I also made a mistake writing Georing instead of Goering. And you are right of course about the two syllables. So: BoLeeö should be close. Jean

Okay, Beaulieu:
Beau like Bo (Bo Derek)
li like Lee (general Lee)
eu like oe (Georing?)
so it is a little like: Bo Lee Oe.

Hope it will help next time you are shopping in France.

Bonjour. I've always heard Godar. For me GodarD'S would sound very strange. Jean

This link is in French but following the instructions I was able to correct a misaligned viewfinder.

Your problem seems to be more serious but if you are careful you may be able to see where is the damage.

Good luck. Jean

Could it be a Heurtier? Jean
