  • Can anyone tell me about this model projector?

    So I came across this information at Van Eck's Video services website. It seems like a well built machine. I'm curious if anyone can tell me anything good or bad about it, and if the lenses provided with this machine are any good. There's also a model DS8 that plays both regular 8 and Super 8. Photos below description.

      I thought the same thing! I'm half tempted to buy one if I knew the lenses were decent!

        Think the DS8 was later. Nice to see those perfect drive sprockets all gleaming.
        A big motor in the back top right and seem to remember they had one chain belt and rubber ones but a long time since ive seen one.
        The prime f1.2 was a better one, think the offered a 15mm and a 25mm.
