I'm confused.

Is your question that you are new to Super-8 and you want as much info as possible?

The Bentley might be the one of the easier to use Super-8 camera that was ever made. Instead of asking about the camera, is your question really more about Super-8 filmmaking in general?

I think the best way we can help you is if you tell us what the first project you plan on doing is, and tell us what motivated you to acquire the Bentley. [img]wink.gif[/img]

Supabad, welcome to the wonderful world of Super8!

Your camera takes Super8 film cartidges. Kodak is the only company that still manufactures Super 8 film. You can buy Super8 film from Kodak through their web site:

Super8 Sound does not manufacture film. They take film already manufactured and slit it. I had originally included something about them, but edited it out for conciseness. Anyway, I didn't think a beginner would necessarily care to know about negative film.

I did not know about Kahl film. Thanks for that info. I'll have to see if Babelfish can translate!

Just wondering if the Germen word "Anwen****en" (Anwen"d-u-n-g"en / "use") is a naughty word in the US as it seem to be caught by some auto device?

"D-U-N-G" is generally reffered to as animal C-R-A-P in the English language. I can't believe the auto censor deleted d-u-n-g from the middle of a word.

[img]wink.gif[/img] At what ages does one move from youngster to middle age to elder?

My favorite definition of aging is "old is 15 years older than you are", and that never changes!
