I've just bought a 9.5mm camera that is really a Bell and Howell Super 8 job modified to take 9.5mm film in a reloadable cassette of the same size as a standard super 8 cassette. Never heard of them before and bought it out of curiosity. The camera runs and the light meter seems to work OK. The instructions on loading the cassette are a bit vague. Has anyone any experience/knowledge of this system? MIKE

I seem to remember from way back that a Frenchman did these conversions.I cant find the magazine where I read this but the article did say that reloading was tricky.I think the take up coiled up into the inner part of the feed roll. He could have chosen a better camera.Few reached these shores. You may have avery rare item. Have fun, Peter ps Let us know if you succeed.
