We did also sell off a fair few small items and one or two old features in 2018 and will continue to do so in 2019 to reduce number.
Another excellent purchase for me in 2018 was my Eiki SLT2 super slot loader and a Kodak 19mm lens from Kevin Clarke.
Now looking out to make a January purchase, 8 or 16mm ![[Wink]](wink.gif)
Happy New year to all.

With moving house in late 2017 and putting together a new screening room, I only bought one super 8 film in 2018, but what a gem it is.
Ian O'Reilly advertised it here, "Bulldog Jack", a 30's crime caper with Fay Fray. 3 x 400ft and at a very decent price, I took a punt, not knowing anything about it.
After a bit of google, it is a Bulldog Jack off-shoot, edited from the feature, although just where and how you couldn't guess.
It is intentionally hilarious, the sort of film that has been overlooked, but hugely entertaining. I looked to see if a digital version exists, but apparently only a Spanish version with average picture and very poor sound, so another reason to have the very watchable super 8 version.
It was shown several times over Christmas with lots of laughs, and a bargain from the ever reliable Ian.
Just brilliant - long live real film!

PS. It came on one full 1200ft spool with "J. Bird" written in black marker around the edge, so I wonder if this once belonged to the great John Bird of super 8 heritage here in the UK?
