If you've just bought your first 16mm camera or thinking of hiring one for a shoot, this book is invaluable. It's a fascinating subject and Douglas Underdahl manages to make it funny too!!! There's also plenty of advice for the first time director. What more can I say? The book makes you want to grab your Bolex, run into the street and start making a movie!!

this book covered all of the major and minor parts of the different cameras.an easy read...and a must for all new film students!!!!!

it even includes info on the Krasnogorsk-3!
Good stuff here, lots of production prep tips, notes on all major makes of 16mm movie cameras plus the expected chapters on lenses, lights, and so on. Plus stuff like low-cost tips and tricks for filters, making your own stuff. Having this book is like having a nice next-door neighbor who you can stop by and ask questions.

Fantastic book, the best I've ever read on cameras and experiences with cameras. I wish Underdahl would write more. HIGHLY recommended! (Review entered on behalf of Jeff Hill.)
