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.
     
    Mark

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
