My Chinon Super 8

yes i kno....

ok...ill give you..one of my monitors that you adore so much...a tv (not plasma)..maybe a small editin preview tv...and a coupon for a free meal to burgar king....its a good offer...get it while its hot...actually u know what..ill throw in an extra coupon...free meal at wendy's!

haha...well....does the cam still work and everything? can you use the cartredge type of Pro8mm film? what kind of condition does it run in?
 
Unfortunately if I go the Super 8 route for some minor B Rolls on my Zombie shot (I'm talking a negligent amount here) I'll end up having to shoot off a projector. Not sure if I'm willing to spend the duckets for a telecine.

I'll just pay for one roll and processing. (Heheh - That would explain why homeboy at the business didnt want to deal with me. Don;t these people know that one day we might actually need like a feature film amount of work done?)

It does still work. The motor is a wind-up type and it runs smooth.

The lenses are in great condition, as you can see they've been kept capped.

NO - it will not take the cartredge type film. It runs on a roll just like the take up reel in the photo.

hum.... Burger King & Wendy's coupons! Who told you I was a fast-food junkie?
What monitor?
 
What film could i use then?

I can read your mind about fast food...woooooooo

and the monitor....

Dat monitor...lol

JK..thats my baby..lol
i'll give ya 200 for da camera..thats if only i could find the film that can go with it..and then figure out a way to process it to mini dv...

What frame rates does it record in?
Wheres the viewfinder?
 
How would you load the film in the camera, Sirius? Loaders use a changing tent... What did home movie makers use? I'd love to know.

Thanks,
Brian
 
I really don't think the camera's worth $200 bucks. I'd feel bad taking that much for it. If I remember correctly I bought it at a garage sale for 20 or 30 bucks. Of course it may be worth more than that. It only shoots at one frame rate and I don't know what the standard 8mm frame rate is. 24fps???
The viewfinder is right above the three lenses. You look through a peep hole on the back and you see through the window on the front. There's an overlay on the window of two different size boxes. The full view is the wide angle view, the small box in the center is the "telephoto" view and the middle box is the medium lens.
You just wind it up and there's a small trigger on the side the releases the moter and runs it. Pretty nifty mechanizm.

Beats me - Maybe Barry or one of the "film" guys knows. Had to be pretty easy for the average joe to use though. I've never loaded it. Both cameras above seem to load the same way.
 
hmm....cant you just get a small roll and just put it in there? ...damn technical stuff.....

Because it seems as though you'd be exposing the while roll to light while loading it. Not sure.

Think about loading a roll of 35mm film in a photo camera. The film is in the canister except for the small portion you pull out to thread, then when you close the back you always advance past that exposed part pulling fresh "unexposed" film out of the canister to photograph with. With this roll it may or may not be the same way but it doesn't look so. Look at the other camera above that has film in it. Seems like both the take-up spool and feed roll is exposed fully to light.

i guess u culd say average ppl...and i work...well...subway... :(
 
I didn't load it. As I stated above, when I opened it tonight to take the photo was the first time I discovered it even had film in it. I purchased these cameras just to add to a large collection of old cameras that I used to collect. Really not interested in any of them anymore. Really not interested in "collecting stuff" anymore. Kinda Zen huh?
 
sshhhhh...he doesnt have to know!!!

i hate subway....and the thing that reaally pisses me off about dat job is...ppl always screw up when they want meat on their sandwhiches...im like...*****!! CHOOSE !! ITS EITHER TURKEY OR ROAST BEEF!!...i did that once...whew..didnt go too well wit the higher up ppl.... eeep.
 
Nothign wrong with working Subway; at least youre working man. See, Blackhawk is a prime example of a 'high schooler' who acts mellow and not like he is 12. (Cough like 17 year old that was banned today).

Subway. Thats great. At least the grub is good.
 
Bah John you always forget about me <-- 16 works at Panera's! Comon John, I'd expect better of you. From now on I'm calling you Sandwich Johnny.
