Thanks for the welcome!
I have, well what I think is, big news. I got the Anscovision this summer, which sparked my interest in 8mm film. I'm a college student, and today I traveled home for Christmas break. I brought the film and projector for my dad to take a look at.
Then he took me to the basement and whipped out a Bolex 150 that had been his fathers. My jaw DROPPED, this thing is beautiful.
I'd love to give it a spin, but, we've got no film. I've seen that kodak still sells blank super8 film, but is it a format that could fit the camera? It looks like it takes a specific cartridge... And either the battery contacts are bad or it needs the AAs and the pill batteries replaced. There's no film, but there doesn't appear to be any signs of life when I pull the trigger.
And on a side note, I think this is funny - the paperwork with the camera has a mailing address of a kodak location in Rochester, NY. I go to school there, and this building is no longer kodak, but a vacant building that my friends have explored....
