Super 8 Video Camera, Chinon 44







I FOUND A SUPER 8 VIDEO CAMERA WITH COLOUR CARTRIDGE IN FULLY WORKING CONDITION, WITH CASE...........

FOR  £3.50!!!!!

Crazy! All I had to do was add 4 AA batteries and it worked a charm! The current project we are doing includes a 6 minute video, meaning we were able to have a play with it last night ... AND IT WORKED! Hopefully the age of the cartridge and the condition of the lense will add to the aesthetic of the film, and fit in well with our material we filmed today. I'll be sure to post the link to youtube once it's finished.

Problems may arise in developing the film to a digital format as Kodak put the film out of production in 2009, however we are still hopeful.

  1. And did you get it processed and how did it turn out? Does this camera take anything else besides the now discontinued Kodachrome K40?

    Cheers from super 8 camera
