Hi, I have a Vintage Chinon 672 AutoZoom Super8 Camera in original leather case and manual. It's looks in amazing condition has been untouched and stored for many MANY years. I want to sell as I have no use for it but really want to test if it's working. I know absolutely nothing about these things and scared I'm going to break it while trying to get it to work! Any suggestions? Is eBay the best platform to sell or is there any speciality vintage Super8 sites I can go to?
Thanks for your help
Nikky

Hi. I recently purchased a Chinon 723 Power Zoom Super 8. I am having trouble finding out what film cartridge I should buy for the camera. Do you have any guidance? Thank you :)

Inside the cartridge compartment you'll find the types of films your camera can take in ASA. These cams are not really sophisticated, so probably something like 25 - 100 and 40 - 160 ASA. Also search Vimeo and YouTube for sample movies.

Hi there,
I just purchased a Chinon 871 super 8 camera. I wanted to see if there is a manual available if not, for a similar model?
Cheers

I can't find one, sorry. But these cameras are not that complicated. If you have any questions regarding functions, let me know.

Hello, Is it Kodak Ektachrome 160 sound color movie film compatible with 1960 Chinon Dart 5x camera, which uses kodak ektachrome 40 movie film type A? Can I use a sound film cartridge in a non sound camera? Thanks.

Hi there! No, you can't use sound film in a non sound camera. The sound cartridge is bigger and won't fit.

Dear John, thank you so much for you answer. I'd like to shoot some material with films, I don't want to use digital camera. What camera would you recommend me to buy? I need one which uses contemporary films. (English is not my native language, excuse my chosen words). I don't want a new one nither; I'd like some kind of oldie but with regular films I can get in a store. Thank you so much for your time. I'm from Argentina, btw.

Welcome to the world of super 8mm :-) It's important to read a bit about this format. It's so much different than digital. One film contains about 3 minutes of film, and you have to process them, like an old roll of camera film, so it can get quite expensive... Read here more about cameras: what super 8 camera to buy.
