The Aatons are available used and are lovely to shoot with if you want synch sound. They are sharp and clean and far, far more expensive than a Beaulieu, Bolex, or B&H, and good lenses will be even more expensive.
They take daylight loads with emulsion out which is not a standard film configuration, so you will have to wind down from a 400 foot pancake onto the daylight reels, or get the lab to do it for you. This is fine at home but might be a problem when travelling. If you are looking for a good first camera I would be more apt to recommend something much simpler. --scott -- Frameworks mailing list [email protected] https://mail.film-gallery.org/mailman/listinfo/frameworks_film-gallery.org
