I'm looking for an 8mm film camera that allows me to shoot one frame at a time. I have heard there are cameras out there with this function, but am totally new to 8mm filming.
Thanks in advance for any help.
(Super 8 wouldn't be suitable for my needs btw) thanks!

Hello Eddie. Welcome to the forum. Many cine camera allow indeed to shoot frame by frame. There are plenty makes and models to choose from.

Loads of them Eddie, and a very warm welcome to the forum BTW!

Some of the best include the Braun Nizo range buts lots of others include this function.

If you want to do a little a bit of research before buying one please try the following excellent web site.

All specifications of all the popular S8 cameras can be found here:-

Ah yes sorry Dominique & Eddie, I completely overlooked that fact...Doh [Embarrassed]

It's late so hopefully I can be forgiven [Wink]

Standard 8/ double 8mm is a distant memory for me I'm afraid but as ever, lots of people on here will be able to advise you Eddie.

Eddie, almost all cine cameras in all gauges, except the very basic ones, have single frame facility and also multiple frame speeds. e.g. 8,16,(18 in Super 8, 24, 32 frames per second. Some could even run at 64f.p.s. Ken Finch.

Hey Guys, thanks for the help so far [Smile]

I have fallen in love with this Russian 'Quarz Zoom' model ( https://img1.etsystatic.com/053/0/9938565/il_570xN.712571601_olyf.jpg ) Do you know if this has single frame shooting capability? Thanks!

Hi Eddie, it has but it is not selected by the frame per second dial, it is on the dial at the read of the side. This is marked KC, CC and 1 setting to 1 allows single frame when pressing the normal normal trigger (or using a cable release, I believe). A nice camera, my uncle had one which my dad inherited (now me), it isn't through lens reflex but does have a film plane mark for measuring distance to focus. As usual with Russian camera it is very heavy.

Hello Eddie,

The Bolex 8mm cameras all have single frame capability and you cant do better than them when it comes to quality.
