Hi. I recently found a Bell & Howell Zoomatic Director Series movie camera at my parents house, and would love to play around with it. Can you tell me where I can get film for this? And some suggestions on where to have the film processed? Thanks so much - ashpitt@gmail.com

@shane8mm Thanks, I have an e-mail in to B&H and if I hear anything back I'll post it here. I may just try it with 100D. The camera goes down to f16. It will probably be alright.
Also if you decide to shoot regular 8mm film in older cameras like these Bell & Howells you will need to use a Neutral density filter with a 0.3 factor. The ND filter reduces the amount of light that reaches the film. The higher ASA of 100D makes the film more sensitive to light. When these Bell & Howell's were new 25 and 40ASA was more common. You will also need to manual set the Fstops. Use the sunny 16 rule for manual exposure. A 0.3 ND filter will reduce the Fstop by one.
@shane8mm I've got a Bell and Howell Two Twenty and would indeed like to use an ND filter. But the lens is TINY! I believe the filter thread size is like 16 or 17 mm, maybe 5/8". Any idea where to get a filter to fit that? Thanks!
Hello, A Google search might be helpful in locating a ND filter for this camera. Size wise I am not sure? Do you have a local camera shop in your town that might be able to help you? Sometimes camera shop can also order in weird sized items. Also try B&H photo in NYC. Google them and check out their page. If you don't see a filter that small ask them. Good luck and I hope this helps! Or you could try buying a newer style camera with a bigger lens.
New film can still be purchased online for regular 8mm movie cameras. Kodak uses an Ektachrome 100D daylight balanced film for super 8mm. The 100D film for regular 8mm is sold by several independent sellers, but not by Kodak any longer. A good place to get 8mm and super 8mm film is Dwayne's Photo. The 100D for Super 8mm was just released by Kodak.

Regarding whether they have a filter for these cameras: B&H replied simply, "Sorry, we don't."

One of the best cameras for shooting Regular 8mm is the Bolex P1. What a camera that is. If you haven't seen one, do a Google or Ebay search.
