hello all!
a sincere big thanks to all who wrote back!!!!! thank you very much! i
had a feeling it may be a sign that i start working with this camera. so i can
only use 16mm film that is perforated on both sides, right? and of course it
is hard to find???

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...

Miriam,
You
indeed purchased a Regular 8 (R8) camera. As you probably now realize, it
takes 16mm film with sprocket holes specific for use in 8mm cameras. You
shoot the roll of 25ft film which exposes half the frame, turn the film over
and shoot another 25ft. After processing the film is split and spliced
together.
Although I haven't tried this, I'm told you
can still project this film with a standard 16mm projector if you don't have
it split after processing. You would basically see two frames simultaneously
on the screen which may be of interest to you as a technique. Keep in mind
that one frame would be right side up, while the other would be upside down
due to the way the film goes through the camera. If you want both frames
right side up you would have to shoot the last 25ft with the camera upside
down.
If
you didn't pay much for the camera and it works you might want to keep it or
this technique.

Hello
everyone,
I kinda of screwed up when i bought this camera, Quarz
2x8S-1M FILM MOVIE CAMERA.
Quarz 2x8S-1M FILM MOVIE CAMERA.
The
camera and it's zoom lens was manufactured at KRASNOGORSK factory in
Moscow, USSR.
Technical
data
Camera Type: movie film, film type: standard 16mm film, frame
size: 4x5.5mm, 12, 18, 24, 36 frames/sec preset, internal light meter,
single frame shooting, spring drive motor, intershangeable
lenses.
Lens: Jupiter-24M 1.9/12.5
Let me say first that i
know nothing about 16mm camera's and was super excited to find this one
which seemed quite compact and a good reasonable price. i purchased it
from from ebay. before purchasing it did show it to a friend who knows
about camera's and he too assumed it was 16mm but its NOT!! it takes 16mm
but its actually an 8mm?!?! goddess help me!
does anyone know if it
takes any kind of 16mm film??
i feel like an idiot but....
i
have not received it and i did speak with the seller about this
but....
the ad was a bit misleading but ultimately it was my fault. so
know i have a camera that i did not want??
Miriam
