Re: Beaulieu 6008 S

Test it using a film and a tripod. See what comes out. I guess that's why he added that comment.. I mean, most of us will gladly use 30 year old cameras without servicing or maintenance, simply because it's not easily available to the cameras we use.. why would beaulieus be any different? If he was...

personaly, I have one of these cameras and always got pretty nice results - that is until somehow I got a "blotch" inside the lens's first element.. Anyway, it is a pretty nice camera but doesn't have that many features and I certainly wouldn't pay $200 for it.. There are a lot better came...

probably just the name of the guy who either:

a) built and painter the wall on which the footage was projected;
b) mounted the sony handycam on a tripod and adjusted focus and exposure;
c) setup the projector;
d) all of the above.

these look pretty nice as they're the complete kits, but I'm sure you could find something cheaper.. I just received a DS8-3 (the one with reflex viewfinder and zoom lens) a couple days ago.. I won the auction for 1 euro.. It's a very heavy camera, but not that big.. I guess being built like a tank ...

yeah, lenses.. :) I got into photography pretty much after I realized shooting film was so fun.. it just seemed perfectly natural to shoot still photos and moving pictures, as the principles pretty much apply to both.. I get *almost* the same kind of enjoyment doing both types of photography. Anyway...
