I am still doing some research on it, but I am absolutely intrigued by this camera. It'll be my first video camera I've owned, so it's something different for sure. But the moment I laid eyes on it... I've fallen in love with it. It came with filters, which made it even more interesting as they make a frame on the film for special occasions and such. And it also came with a light meter (which is something I've been wanting to get as well).   Sorry... I just got really excited and felt I needed to let it out somehow, lol. BUT... while I'm at it, it would be helpful if I could get some help out of this. I'm trying to find some info about this camera, such as date and even company info. Maybe even a manual (such as in pdf form)...? I don't know what exactly, but really any info about it would be nice. Please and thank you![/quote] FAQ Keyword Search: Post Options Favorites Manager Notify me of new replies to this topic by email Notify me of new replies to this topic by private message Original Post dreamweaver Posted at 6:49 pm on Oct. 5, 2008 I collect vintage cameras and am rather picky about which ones I get.

It runs and such, as it doesn't seem to have any damage to it or anything. My older brother told me that I may be able to find the super 8 film for it so I can try it out. Even if I do find it, I'll probably have issues finding somewhere to develop the film for me... but I'm still anxious despite all that! :) SheMintsEclectic Posted at 6:55 pm on Oct. 5, 2008 You are officially my favorite mod ever. My nana has a brownie tucked away in her attic and won't let me have until I pass my first semester of college.
