I’m meeting a guy at starbucks this weekend to check out a potential super-8 camera match. $200 cash. Hope it works out so I can get the show on the road.
As I’m learning, all cameras are not created equal–with the discontinuation of kodachrome, most people have transitioned into ektachrome (which can be bought from most film/camera places, and developed anywhere). Using ektachrome, a newer type of film, in older cameras, like, say, my dad’s old kodak, usually results in a strange light effect. In nicer cameras, like the one I hope to buy this saturday, it works without any light adjustments.
Hopefully by next week, I’ll have a working camera on my hands.
Have I mentioned how much I hate ebay?
