[Konvas] Cameflex CM3 2-perf worth some money?

[steve beverly]

Yes but be aware it is an MOS camera and you didn't mention if it has a sync motor so it's probably not, which means clean sound will be a bitch. "Course Rodriguez shot El Marichi on a 16mm that probably wasn't half as nice as a Cameflex so yes you could shoot a feature with it, but be prepared fpr some headaches. FORTUNATELY modern software technology has a myriad of solutions. There is Sound Forge filters that can take out the camera sound and VocALign that can sync non-sync footage. I should tell you to look up the term because because you really need to start educating your self in all aspects of film making if you want to ake this your profession and no one is gonna do that for you but i'll give ya this one, Sync means the film and sound aquistion run at perfectly constant speeds so the sound and image match up in perfect synchonization or the words match the lips the boom matches the flash the clop matches the footstep.
