Then they would have had to falsify the stunning videos and photos. Don't think so but... And how many 'video' cameras do you think were around in 1942 ? Good point. There were no motion picture films way back then. rolls eyes Video and motion picture are not synonymous TV cameras at that time were VERY large beasts and there was no video tape. Fact is the beast that would be available to even a wealthy amateur and most newsreel cinematographers was 16mm film. Film stock was relatively expensive , especially in colour and film speeds were low. Getting useful shots at night was well nigh impossible. Most of the alleged film of night attacks in WW2 was faked afterwards. If you see 'stunning' video from that period the chances are its faked. Stunning is relative. Look at genuine 16mm and the difference is obvious. Keith |

The studios/unions(?) wouldn't allow a camera to run with less than a certain footage of film in it. The 35mm Leica was designed specifically to use them up. It came with film cassettes you could load yourself and a template to cut the half-width leader its bottom-loading film feed system required. My uncle was able to find 8mm color film in New Guinea. jsw |
