Hi guys, I just bought a Braun Nizo 481 macro and I have tested it all with batteries and it seems operational. The one problem is that I cannot see the pointer on the light meter. I have tried switching the manual control around to see if it appears but there doesn't seem to be any pointer...

Hi guys. I have super canon 514 xl-s. When I attach the wide angle C8 lens it blurs when fully zoomed in - is this normal/why is this? When I do not have the lens attached there is no blur when fully zoomed in... Any info would be cool! :D

Hi guys. I have two super 8 cameras that I just got. I want to test out how Ektachrome 100D looks on both of them but I only have one cartridge... I don't really have any idea as to how these thigns work and was wondering if it is at all possible to film a minute on one and then take out the...

Hi guys. I just bought a Canon 514 XL-S and I have the oppurtunity to get hold of a wide angle C8 lens for it. Firstly, is £30 a good price for this lens? Secondly does this lens actually make that much of a difference? Has anyone ever used this lens - I have had a look on youtube to see the...

Hi guys. I'm thinking of investing in a Super 8 camera and have noticed that lots do not record sound. There are a few that do say they record sound and they come with mics but I thought that super 8 sound film was no longer in existence/made and any would be extremely expensive. Is sound film...

Hi guys. I would really like to shoot on film (either 8/16/35mm - not fussed). The thing is I have no idea where to start. I do not have a camera yet - I have been looking on eBay but I'm not sure what is good/reliable.... Also, if I were to buy a camera where does one buy film these days? Can...

Hey guys I'm trying to create a 'film look' shooting 25f on the Canon HXA1. I can't figure out how to get rid of that indefinite depth of focus that video has and focus just on my subject with the background slightly blurry, like in film. Does anyone know how to do this? I've changed to manual...

Hi guys, I'm a movie making n00b and have been given an asignment to create a film using sound effects and, being a huge David Lynch fan I immediately thought of the weird voice effect from Twin Peaks, you can hear it here if you skip to about 3:40 - I really want to recreate this but don't know...

Hi guys, I'm doing a student project but would like to get into filming more seriously.... I am going to be filming shots at night and have been warned that most cheap camcorders these days are awful at filming in darkness... is this the case? I really would like a good all round reliable...

Hi guys, sorry to be back with yet another newbie question. I've done a lot of research into camcorders that record at 24p and it seems that there is a fault with every one of them! I was considering the HG10 but I no longer want an HDD based camera due to the lack of backup and the AVCHD...

Having had a look around online this decision is quickly turning into a nightmare. I want to record footage that looks like film (both have 24p cinema mode) but everyone seems to have differeing opnions - apparantly the HV20 24p looks better than the HG10 but the use of Hard drive to store...

Hey guys, I'm new here and currently studying film. I'm hoping to make a short soon but want a camera that has that film look to it. I know not many camcorders have 24p cinema mode intergrated but I was wondering if anyone could point in the right direction... I want an HD camera that records...
