i agree that you might want to hold on to this rare find. the effect
produced by this double-8 camera when projected in 16mm is very
cool. and yes, you can project it and cut the footage in with other
regular 16mm footage. i had a bolex like this years ago and had to
sell it (basically had kids to feed) and to this day, it is the one
piece of equipment that i have most regretted parting with. this
just might be a blessing in disguise, Miriam.
enjoy today...
