the way my super 8 hold focus throughout the zoom is to zoom all the way in, get it in focus on your subject, then as you zoom out to find your frame and it will stay sharp

Yeah that’s what I kept trying but it never seems to work. Could very well be user error

@@filming_fatherhood Great video, the method described by @johnmcginty9602 is pretty fail safe. It may be that your diopter needs to be set to your eye. For that you set your focus to infinity and zoom all the way in to like a mountain or anything far away and adjust the piece where you place your eye by turning left and right till your focus is sharp. This should allow for you to enjoy much sharper images.

Excellent video, deserves way more attention than it’s getting. I adore the look of 8mm but man I can’t justify the cost. Might look into emulating it. Thanks for the inspiration!
