Saw something funny on tv

[Mike Buckles]

I was watching an old '60's tv show the other night, and saw something funny that was film related. The guy was spying on someone else, and had a tape recorder and small format movie camera hidden in the room..he went to change the film in the movie camera...opens up the case, and proceeds to quickly drop in a regular 8 spool into the camera..but he just dropped it in the chamber, and closed it up...didnt thread it or attach it to the other spool...guess he thought he had a super 8 camera!

What show was this?

[Mike Buckles]

Promise not to laugh? "I Dream of Jeannie"....I know it's corny, but nobody does a harem outfit justice like Barbara Eden!

Agree about Barbara Eden. Maybe Jeannie blinked and made the film spool automatically thread. Amazing what sound effects can do.

Captain Kirk used Super-8!!!

Braun Nizo 148 Another camera I like is the Braun Nizo 148 Super-8 cine camera. The camera has an f/1.8 8 to 48 mm. zoom lens with macro capability. Filming speeds are 9, 18, 24 and 32 f.p.s. and single frame. In addition, there is a time-lapse facility, offering three speeds - 5 f.p.s., 1 f.p.s. and 1 frame per 5 seconds. Flash synchronisation is possible with 1 frame per 5 seconds and single frame. The zoom is operated manually or can be power driven using a rocker switch on the camera top plate. The camera has fully automatic exposure with manual override. It is finished in an unusual brushed satin chrome which, sadly, does not stand up to really hard wear very well. It looks stunning though, when in excellent condition, and the same finish was used on a whole range of Nizo cameras including the S800 which, I believe, was used in Star Trek (episode 'Patterns of Force') when Captain Kirk had to bluff his way into a conference as a film cameraman. It looked very convincing too; quite at home in the 23rd century. In 1971 this camera cost about ?475 in Britain so it's small wonder they are not seen very often secondhand.
