Re: Film Cameras--All Formats
The B&H 627 is a simple but decent 16mm camera. It'll take standard single perf 100' daylight loading spools. Very similar to the B&H filmos.
It's really easy to use with a good range of frame-rates and single frame - annoyingly you can't use a cable release with single frame so probably need to improvise some kind of remote trigger if you want to animate steadily.
The viewfinder is not reflex - each (c-mount) lens comes with a matched viewfinder lens. This is a bit of a limitation as you can't just buy any c-mount. There is a russian (called "kiev 16mm"?) version of a cartridge loading B&H 16mm camera that uses the same viewfinder lenses and can be a good cheap source if you find one with a good set of lenses on ebay.
