Bauer S-8 cameras often come with all the bells and whistles you're looking
for (single frame, macro, intervalometer, manual exposure) and cost less
than Nizos. The Bauer Royal also has a cool/idiosyncratic feature whereby
the camera uses a sensor to automatically detect how long exposure time
should be... allowing you to get 'correct' exposure in the middle of the
night (with a VERY slow shutter of course). As for the more complicated
questions about notching.... I have no clue.
On another note, the new ektachrome, while kodachrome it ain't, is beautiful
and can be processed at home as e-6 with less discoloration than the older
ektachrome.
Question: what filter did s-8 kodachrome require if not 85b? Doesn't 16
kodachrome use 85b (hope so... it's what i've been using)?
2 cents,
Madison
