Has anyone any information on a 'Yashica Model-1' Cine Camera?

<p>however faster film like ISO100 requires a neutral density<br /> filter ( gray).<br /> a slower iso 50 film is usable except with beach or snow scenes. this is only your real option.<br /> the site above refers to Kodachrome so many things are likely very outdated.<br /> unless you have Neutral density filters or can find film ISO 50 max. it is not worth the effort<br /> some European Bolex cameras had a variable shutter<br /> so instead or 1/30 @ 16 fps they could use 1/60 or possibly faster at 16 fps.<br /> the 25 x 2 50 foot length of film would run about 3 -4 minutes.<br /> many cameras would run faster some up to 64 fps.<br /> this would FIX the exposure problem with ISO 100 Ektachrome.<br /> but it would be in VERY slow motion.</p>

<p>Tom's response is incorrect; you can still get film in standard 8mm format. I recommend ordering from John Schwind at International Film Brokers: http://zerelda.com/internationalfilm/internationalfilm.html The great thing about John is that he includes instructions on how to load and expose most standard 8mm cameras with every order. </p>

<p>The best resource I have found for shooting with 8mm cameras is the Filmshooting forum: http://forum.filmshooting.com/</p>
