Will, I havn't worked with that model of Super8 camera. I might have seen one before though. Mind posting a few pics when you get it? Is this your first venture into Super8?
Is this your first venture into Super8?Yep... t'is my first I was also bidding on a beautiful looking Chinon, but sadly fell asleep before the end of the auction and lost it by $.50 
oh well.
I'll post pix when I get it.. he emailed me and said it will ship Tomorrow (Monday).. so I should most likely have it by the end of the week.

Cool Will! I'll be looking forward to seeing pics of it.

And a couple thru the viewfinder:
Normal Mode & Macro Mode (Left & Right, respectively):
(These came out a little blurry, it's more difficult to take a photo thru the viewfinder than I figured it would be...)
And finally, just in case you feel like it... here's a quicktime object movie that'll let you spin the camera on a tripod..
