Hi guys,

I've just bought a Bell & Howell Filmosonic 1239 XL Macro in mint condition..
What can you all tell me about it?
Any tips for use or quirks I should be aware of?

Thanks,

Ben

Hi Ben, welcome to the Forum. I have a B&H 1237 XL. I'm not familiar with a 1239, but assuming they are similar it is a very good camera with no concerns I could think of. The TTL macro lense is great, and many other features like the single frame and slow-mo (silent film only) options, Good luck with it! [Smile]
