    hello. i just bought a bell & howell 673xl from a thrift store, it has auto-exposure via an electronic eye.

    my question is, what speed film does it use? auto-exposure still cameras adjust to the film speed either by reading a code on the roll or by manual adjustment, but this camera doesn't seem to do either. should i use k-40 or tri-x or something else?

    thanks,

    Super 8 Cameras
    set the ASA by a notch in Kodak
    Super 8 Film Cartridges.

    Plus-X
    Tri-X

    Ektachrome
    Kodachrome

    They all have a notch on the side
    of the cartridge that sets the
    ASA of the camera.

    Some cameras work better than others.

    Any more questions:
