The E has a variable shutter too. But it's capped at degrees. And not all that accurate. A degree shutter in low light can be really helpful. The mechanism was intact, but it had a broken battery wire, in the hinge. It has trouble holding aperture in manual the rubber adjusting wheel is worn out , and the filter ring was dinged luckily I had a non-working one to scavange parts from.
Both were off eBay. Both were listed as "untested. Anyone who wants Super-8 wants the top of the line. So the rarer is more in demand than the So the AZEs tend to be a bargain.
No luck. I'm happy with it! Trying to line up a shoot with it this summer. A problem with eBay is that some people who keep reposting the same cameras, over and over again, for ridiculous prices, hoping someone will bite. The people looking to clear out their garage think those are what the camera is actually worth. You can post now and register later. If you have an account, sign in now to post with your account.

Better is rather subjective, but Im sure you know this. It depends on what you value, sharp picture or low light? Granted, the AZ may not look as good for low light but that is an issue of preparation and type of material shot.
For narrative, I would prefer a sharper image which required more light because I would put a lot of prep into my scenes.
For quick style shooting which I dont know why you would shoot on Super 8 I would want low light camera and fast film stock. My results would look grainy as hell, and probably soft, but I would get it with low light. Or am I way off in interpretation? Are you talking about looks better in terms of the camera or the picture produced? I dont think they made it for accessorizing.
I have never seen any color but the silver and black trim variation. You could always paint it, you know. IF it's for one shoot, try black gaffer tape. I have never seen the or AZ in anything other than the raw aluminum style.
Another thought photographers have used for a logn long time is to put a larger black foamcore piece right in front of the camera with a hole only big enough to push the lens through. You won't likely see any really noticable reflections in set objects of the camera or operator that way. If you hang on a bit, I may end up with an AZ for sale. Looking at an XL-s right now.
Should know by tonight. Not to repeat myself, but does anybody know about the C-8 wideangle adapter? I know it fits perfectly on maybe was designed for? The XLS has a variable shutter so you can get the benefits of the XL shutter and the sharpness of a degree shutter too. Plus a few more years of lens and coating development, I would doubt the Auto Zoom produces sharper results.
I also think it looks better than the Auto Zoom in any light. Actually, according to Super8wiki, the XL-S doesnt have a variable shutter. Its a degree shutter. With all due respect, I dont believe a few years of lens development is going to overcome 70 degrees more shutter in the sharpness department. At correct exposure, the AZ is going to have much more light, finer grain, and a sharper picture Im sure.
I have had a xls for many years, though I haven't used it for some time. I actually used it on a still camera 35mm! In terms of noise, the xls is much much quieter than the I recently used an xls and it was really LOUD compared to my by a factor of two or three. When I was shooting sound with my in small rooms I did need a barney though.
