hire info:
we always rent a pair of cameras out in case of any issues: they’re all antiques after all.
once the package is collected, from camden, it needs to be insured or in your care at your risk. replacement value of this package is £4000.
we can supply film at a 5% discount with any hire.
payment in advance. deposit taken if no insurance in place.
we will supply link to explanatory video, manual, and can trouble shoot / teach you on collection / by remote during your shoot, within reasonable limits!!!
although we send you a spare body, this should only be used in case of issue with the first body. you are not hiring two cameras for use in a two-camera shoot, and the price reflects that. we also can’t offer any guarantees, or be held liable, in case of an issue with one or both of the cameras.
package includes: 2 x canon 814 body with in-built lens, screw-in remote cable, lightmeter batteries, case
more techy camera info:
meters: 16 - 250 ISO, automatic. this includes kodak 50d, 100d, 200t, 250d. kodak 500t is fine in this camera, but auto-exposure will overexpose by one stop (we think this looks better anyway!!)
shutter speeds: 1/29s @ 12fps, 1/43s @ 18fps, 1/58s @ 24fps
lens: 8x zoom canon 7.5-60mm f/1.4 - 18 elements in 13 groups, multicoated. 58mm diameter. 1.2m close focus. this camera can not accept other lenses
batteries: the camera requires 2x PX625 cells to power the light meter. these are inserted in a small compartment above the film chamber. they are supplied with your hire but must be returned.
diopter: this camera features an eyepiece that can be adjusted for different eyesights, so you don’t need to wear glasses / contacts. just turn the metal diopter lock wheel next to the eyepiece, and turn the rubber eyepiece to adjust.
