Super 8 cameras

[S.t.e.p.h.e.n]

Hi
I have just discovered this excellent board yesterday and would like to ask a few questions. A year ago I started buying super 8 cameras off ebay and played around with them. but now I would quite like to do something a bit more serious with them. I was wondering which ones I should keep and which to sell. The better ones are Leicina Special, Nizo 801,561,156,148, Bauer A512, Bauer A508 (x2) and a Nalcom ftl1000. Once I started buying i couldn't stop.

Thanks Stephen

Wow, I thought I was an obsessive film equipment buyer!
I haven't used any but the Nizo 801, which is very nice, so I'd keep that.
However, I've heard good things about the Leicena also, and the Nalcom is nice because it's the only S8 cam other than Beaulieus that allows you to use different lenses. (I think you need a hard to find adapter though).
Tough choice, but I'd say the Nizo 801 is probably the best, but I'm guessing...
