Just a quick update. The site has undergone a lot of work over the years. As well as more pages devoted to the Australian film shooter, we have added a 16mm and Single8 section. http://www.mishkin.yolasite.com/australian-16mm.php http://www.mishkin.yolasite.com/single8-film.php Our...

Just a bump. http://canon-s8-repair.yolasite.com/ Have updated the camera repair listing, incl. some links to a pro's guide to popular cameras, as well as a Japanese enthusiast who gets into the nitty gritty of Super8. As well as updates for the Australian film shooter...

Hello all, For the Christmas season and until early February I have drastically reduced camera rental fees, for my Canon 814 Electronic, 1014, and my trusty 1218, just $15 per day! Plus my other cameras, some even rent free! http://mishkin.yolasite.com/camera-hire.php I figured the best way...

Hello all, Although I have been renting cameras for a wee while now, I decided to reduce the bond amounts I was charging as I think that may be the cause of a slow down in rentals over the past year. My Canon 1014's were $250 bond, now $100. I hope it will move things along a little...

G'day, The two cameras I have rent free I just tested early january and was very happy with the results, the yashica came back really good, bright. I took stills from footage of each of the cameras, if you want a pic or two send me your email address via mishkin.film@gmail.com I do not have a...

Hello. I do not do film sales, but i recommend www.nanolab.com.au, they sell a good range, and process and transfer all in the same place. I have used nanolab a few times and have had only positive experiences. Vanbar also sell Super8 film over the counter. Check out www.mishkin.yolasite.com...

I bought some Canon 1014E’s recently to add to my rental camera listing, shot some film through them, as well as all the other cameras, to test function and exposure, and the film came back with very nice results across the range! People should not underestimate the great shots the old Sankyo...

I recently updated my canon repair site, it now includes good pictures of my 1014 being pulled apart.:D http://canon-s8-repair.yolasite.com/1014-body-disassembly.php I am making progress on getting it running again. I hope the pictures help people out who find they bought a "bargain" on ebay...

thanks for the feedback. sadly I cannot sell the c8 lens, for one I really like it, it is too handy to sell! And also it was really hard to find in the first place... thanks for the offer all the same.. cheers, Gareth

I recently took stock of my cameras and decided to offer the reliable ones for cheap local hire. Although I can only hire to Victoria, Australian residents, I was hoping people might have a look at the website and offer some feedback on pricing, or whatever. I do not intend to make money, and...

I know a couple of people who use these cameras, while not your particular type, but they swear by them! although there are disadvantages, they do have benefits over super8 cameras: The film has a backing plate, so that as it goes through it remains very steady, no resulting "jitter" that one...

I have just uploaded the final edit of my film "Eve's Song", although there are a couple of minor things yet to fix, It is ready to start having the sound and dialogue added. I would be interested in what comments people might have, as always comments are handy as a way of thinking harder about...

Thanks for the positive feedback. I admit the male character does seem a little out of place just stopping on the road, looking, and then going up the driveway. In the long version, he comes to a stop, takes his hat off to wipe his brow, looks along the road into the distance, then looks to...

I have just uploaded a 10 minute version of the film "Eve's Song". We finished shooting around four months ago in the north of Victoria, Australia. The film was shot entirely on Super8 100D silent film. Dialogue, thankfully little of it, is yet to be added, as is the sound track. The full...

Thanks for the positive feedback, I was quite happy with the shot, roll 4 004, I wanted the film to be hard lit, by either the sun or artificial. in the whole film I used no reflectors, just the sun and 1000watt non barn doored lights. The set took me 6 months to find, and almost two years to...

G'day, Thanks for the comments. I have not considered anamorphic, although I know of a few different methods to achieve it, but for this film I wanted to constrict the actors movemens within the frame. i deliberately set out to do virtually no panning, to try to catch as much action as...

I am in the midst of editing my film "Eve's Song" and thought to upload to youtube a short selection of clips from the film. I used 100D through out and am very happy with the colours and grain levels. It is a great stock! Remember the compression of youtube does no favours. So far the film...

G'day, I have just updated my site to include some details on repairing the Canon 1218 camera, as well as the 814 and 1014. http://canon-s8-repair.yolasite.com/ I have also updated my main site concerning details of Super8 stock purchase, process and transfer in Australia and New Zealand...

There is still a good chance you can get the camera working. I have purchased a few off ebay that were non-runners, and since I had nothing to loose, I got into the habit of taking them apart and trying to work out the "why" So far I have "fixed" two 814's, one 1218, and changed lenses on an...

website update Hello all. I got around to replacing the lens on my canon 814. Now she is ready to shoot to see how the repairs have gone. The 1014 is still a work in progress. http://canon-s8-repair.yolasite.com/ As before, feedback is welcome, but i hope others can make use of the...
