Wow, I just recently shot a three minute experimental type short with an Arri Bl, Bolex RX-5, and a K-3. I bought the K-3 expecting to use it as back-up. Out ...

Best ways to thread a K-3: 1.) buy a Bolex H-16 -- thread that instead 2.) buy a Bell and Howell DR70 -- thread instead and stop spending so much time in the...

As far as I'm concerned, the H-16 sucks compared to a K-3. A Reflex viewfinder is a BIG deal. As is getting cheap yet high quality lenses. Also, I haven't had...

True about the light leakage. But for extreme close-ups (which puppet animation has a lot of) a non-reflex is damn hard to use... I won't be a broke animation...
