   The website is in Germany for the camera I looked at earlier.   
   Me just thought Kino didn't mean a regular hand held 35MM camera.   
   Remember I'm a LID and You know how LIDs are don't You?   
      
   I'm sure that You met a few LIDs since You got Your Amateur Radio   
   Operators license.   
      
   I know of at least One Amateur that I feel is a bigger LID than I am.

   I think I have already commented that a 35MM Motion Picture Film's   
   image size is "Single Frame", where our hand held 35MM cameras image is   
   "Double Frame, 24MM X 36MM".

   It has been years since I threaded a 35MM Movie Projector, but I   
   remember something about the size of the Loop just after the film has   
   passed below the Lens mechanism(sp?) is very important to having the   
   sound track in sync with the projected image on the screen.   
      
   I think it was a "One Finger Loop".   
      
   I think when threading a 16MM Sound Movie Projector there was a Line   
   imprinted in the projector to show where to correctly  place the film.   
      
   And some of the 16MM projectors I've used threaded themselves   
   automatically by just turning on the motor and placing the film in the   
   slot on the top of the machine.   
      
   There wasn't any guideline on the 35MM Movie Projectors I used at the   
   Movie House to show how the Film should be threaded.   
      
   My friend who was a Projectionist there, invited me to come upstairs to   
   the "Booth" and taught me how to thread, check the carbons, frame the   
   film by looking at the image by sliding a part on the side of the lens   
   to make sure the correct count down number was in place, so when I   
   switched from one projector to the other the customers wouldn't notice   
   the changeover.   
      
   He got a salesman job at Sears Roebucks and told the man who owned the   
   Theater that He was quitting, and the boss asked me if I wanted the   
   job.
