matt_burnett Posted March 28, 2013 Share Posted March 28, 2013 <p>Hello everyone. I have recently been given a Yashica cine camera. I intend to shoot a roll of film through the camera. It would be great if anyone could give me any sort of information on the camera controls/battery etc. </p><p> </p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tom_cheshire Posted March 28, 2013 Share Posted March 28, 2013 <p>If it is plain 8mm there is no film. Super 8 still in limited amounts.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
walter_degroot Posted March 28, 2013 Share Posted March 28, 2013 <p>http://www.myoldcamera.com/Regular8mm.html</p> <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 the site above refers to Kodachrome so many things are likely very outdated.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> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nicholas_rapak Posted March 30, 2013 Share Posted March 30, 2013 <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> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
