cams like that are very cool. id use the two i got but i just can't do it when video is so much cheaper. if it were not so expensive id use film always. thanks for the great video friend
@nothadnotbad I agree that film is the best for making movies. But I only used 4 rolls of film with this camera ($17 EACH, then $12 EACH to get them developed!!!) Now the camera doesn't even work anymore :-( However, I recently got another camera like this one, except it's the turret lens model. I'll be testing that out soon. Thanks for watching!
I just love old, low tech stuff. When I was a kid you'd see alot of people using these type cameras at various events, 4th of July picnic, christmas etc. I remember that to shoot inside you needed a "light bar".....basically a bar attachment with bulbs on it. Because it was 25 speed film you needed "alot" of light. Those bar bulbs were so bright it was like looking at an atomic bomb going off
Yeah, and I heard that those light bulbs were about 375 watts EACH!!! You would just get BLASTED! However, I've never been exposed to that kind of light, and I don't think I ever want to be ;-)
I know :-p It's annoying to me too. But the habit is now pretty much broken.

@Xxju1cexX1 There's only one way to find out... wind the key and press the shutter button located below the lens :)
