I'm getting this from a friend/uncle in a few days, free since it's not really used by anyone but still works (also how I got into photography, through a Minolta lying around at a relative's house (well, not really lying around, in a bag, but still...)).
Wanted to know about where I can find Super 8 film, where to get it developed, things to add to it, stuff like that. I'd like to know everything I can before I get it to see if this is what I need.
Although I know it's really not the tool, but the person who uses it, that doesn't mean nobody wants the top camera that they can (or can't) afford.
EDIT: WHAT did I mean by that sentence? I sound like I'm an online translator.
From what I can tell, I meant to say this:
Although I know it isn't the most sophisticated camera on the market, nor the best on that market, I would prefer getting it pre-owned by a family member than pre-owned by a random person on eBay or buying it. This is not to say that I don't want to get a really good camera someday. However, I don't think I deserve it until I actually make a serious film.
