It's a Zeiss Ikon Moviflex S8 Voigtlander Super 8 Camera. (did they throw in some extra names or what!)

It's basically a box with what I presume is a Zeiss lens on it!

More Importantly, it has a manual dial for exposure control on the side, and filming speeds of either 18 or 24.

It's so retro! And there's only one day left and it's selling real cheap so far!

The lens looks great! Nice camera....you can just smell the family cookouts from the old days that the camera probably filmed! Mike

Mike, you might enjoy an animated short film called "Le Crac", it came out around the early to mid 80's...I think it won some kind of really big award.

I believe "Le Crac" is French for "the chair".
I bring it up because your post above about family cookouts and the Super-8 camera relates in a peculiar sort of way.

I'll have to check that out, Alex, thanks! Mike

Crac won an Oscar in 1981 for best animated short film.

Tango won in 1982, I saw both of those at Cal State Northridge at a Mike & Spike Animation Film Festival back in 1980 or 81. Neither had won Oscars yet.

I thought they were really amazing films, as were a bunch more that were shown.

Ooops, I'm reminising.

I just thought I'd bump this.

Hi,

Since my last post I've aquired a Cosina MS8000 which I think I told you about and also a Canon 514XL.

I won a Agfa Movexoom 6 on ebay but unfortuently it had a fault with the light meter which is a real shame because the camera is in totally mint condition. The seller has been really nice about it though and has offered me a refund.

My dream camera is still a 1014-XLS, *sigh* if only!

The 1014-XLS is a nice camera..i've looked at it on Ebay, it seems to be a higher end/higher priced camera..it has much of the same features my Bell and Howell has, the Canon may have a more intuitive footage remaining counter. Nice camera to have!

My apologies for changing gears...

I am now the proud owner of a Bell & Howell 103 XL...complete with a roll of GAF Anscochrome II. (dated 1970)

Not being one to watch things go to waste, I've inserted the film and am ready to shoot a practice roll.

I've also E-bayed a Model #07300 Baia Instaview 120 viewer and editor.

Is this a decent camera? What projectors do you guys recommend?

I was thinking of perhaps a sound projector.

Cheers,
Jon
