Another plus would be that this camera does not have a built-in lens so you could upgrade them later if you wanted without springing for a new camera.All that being said, I think you may have to special order 8mm (or dual-8 for that matter) film. Do you know anything about this lens?Thanks,Chuck Snyder, Lake Orion Michigan., 9 years agoI've never used this camera, I only have experience shooting Super-8 and 16mm.The lens is pretty fast, which is nice since it lets you use a higher quality stock without needing additional lighting. I know there are plenty of these sturdy cameras on the internet however this one has a Morton Telephoto lens attached to it that appears to separate it from the others I’ve seen. Chuck, 9 years agoI was wondering if you had any advice on whether I should purchase a Bell & Howell FILMO Sportster Double Run Eight. Do you have pictures of your other cameras?. When I first saw this on the shelf, I thought it must have been at least north of $20 if for no other reason that it works and has a really heavy build for its size.I think there are some harder to find cameras that are worth more. I guess I will just hang on to them., 9 years agoI understand completely. I have an old agfa camera and an argas camera too.

John, 9 years agoI would have tought it would be worth more. What is it worth? It appears to be in pretty good condition., 9 years agoI would say about $10-15 depending on quality. john c., 9 years agoI have one of these cameras. The reel timer can be manually set, it runs from S to F with 0-25 in between those.Ĭomments. The film speed setting can be changed while filming for a speed ramp. Below that is the run switch: up for single frame, down for continuous.Another interesting piece about this camera is the twisting chart on the left side which tells the user what the best f-stop is given different scenarios: frames per second, film speed, time of day, and subject (clouds/sea/snow, open landscapes, average subjects, close-ups/buildings, deep woods/ravines)On the right side of the camera is the hand crank, a film speed setting, and reel timer.

The two knobs right below the viewfinder can be squeezed together to release the lens. When processed, the film is cut in half and developed.The included removable lens is a Bell & Howell 0.5' f 1.9It's a pretty heavy metal design with a stand and tripod thread on the bottom.The viewfinder in the right-most pic has a frame guide which can be flipped in or out of view. Only half of the film is exposed at a time, then you would flip the reels and expose the other half. (36 items)This windup camera shoots dual run 8mm, which is the same-sized film stock as 16mm with perforations of 8mm.
