Mystery soved - thanks Camera Guy!

The web site claims the Nizo is being used to film Morrison's 'H W Y' film - i didn't realise the film was in Super8?

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">I retract my original guess. It is not a s480 or s560. I did some more detective work and have narrowed it down to these models. Its either a s36, s48-2, s55, s56, s80 or the "special". Can't narrow it more than that without more pictures, His hand covers the variable shutter area which would help elimate some of the above.

Hi,

Yep, i don't recognise that side bit, the horizontal line on the casing ... camera/film meter?

Morrison had a beard in HWY, so i don't think this is him filming it, as the web page claims?

there is a great deal of mystery surrounding this guy - nothing seems to add up

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">The horizontal line is the footage counter. Its the old style, the newer models have a circular counter thats closer to the bottom of the camera.

hi cameraguy,

there is a Morrison yahoo group @ -

http://launch.groups.yahoo.com/group...yguid=98497270

and at the Photos page are many images of Morisson and his (also) late girlfriend Pamela, touring Paris with the Nizo - might any of these images help narrow down the search for the camera model, please?

I only see two pictures there of it and they don't help much. All the those Nizo models are so similar you'll probably have to find a pic that shows the actual model number on the camera to know exactly which it is [img]graemlins/wilted.gif[/img]
