As to what else is going on...
I've recieved both the K3 and Beaulieu 4008 now. The cameras are both cosmetically clean and pretty to look at, but I haven't gotten the chance to run test film yet. The Beaulieu still needs a battery/power solution to run (at least that's what I hope is going on). While the K3 powers up and ran through a dummy roll fine.
I've counted up all the leftover film in the fridge that I've accumulated from people/projects/hoarding: 10 rolls of super 8, 2 400ft cans and 13 daylight spools of 16mm. Looking at all that shelf space really makes me want to go shoot something...
