am i a dork? No, i'm a GENIUS!
It's a POS camera, even by modern standards (i.e. plastic lens)
But it's gonna be so much fun to use.
The sad part is this is actually my second super8 camera, the first one was bought at a garage sale and didn't work, but this one does work!

Only Ektachrome and Tri-x. It has its niches. they use it for commercials a lot.
oh, and some places can develop old kodachrome as black and white. which is actually pretty awesome.
