Yes! My dad had a crank 8mm camera too (regular 8mm) that he used until the late 70's. He built a big light bar with 5 floodlights on it. Everybody hated that thing LOL! He also had one of those movie editors, and his projector. I think its a Keystone. Not sure if he still has the camera or the editor, but he still has the projector. He recently converted the old movies to DVD by aiming the video camera at the movie screen.

Hi JeffN727,Yes I used the flood light, not 5 but one 300 watt bulb.

The family hated that bright light in there eyes, I did not know at the time but I could have used bounce lighting, I was just learning at the time.

I collect old cameras. :)

I have a bunch of Super 8 ones, including a Brownie Funsaver.

I have a few rolls of Kodachrome 40, but it's just so difficult and expensive to process it.

Hipaisleyyiys, Yes it costs a small fortune to process the film.

Hi VWest7ife, I also have the crank film "reviewer" it had a film splicer so you could cut out the parts you did not want as well as adding more film and splicing it together.

My dad bought a hand cranked regular 8mm movie camera in the late '60s, and my parents used it until the early 1980s. They also had a hand cranked movie "reviewer" with a little glass screen, designed to let you get a quick look at the developed films to help you edit and splice them together, and then also a motor driven Bell & Howell projector, very similar to the one you showed. I'm sure they still have all this stuff in storage, as well as the home movies they shot and compiled.

Hi Carlos, There are lots of them on eBay and even at yard sales sometimes.

You may not be able to get film for them though.
