      <p style=”text-align: left;”>I always wanted one of those for years as I’m a huge fan of silents and basically always wanted to make silent movies, and I especially wanted to create London After Midnight with real 1920s cameras.</p>
      I know they’re super expensive and super ancient and hard to come by these days but any advice for someone like me looking for an ancient camera from the silent film era and the pros and cons and do and don’ts?

        I’m not an expert but i suppose that, even if you could find a real camera from that era still working (and, quoting Indiana Jones, it should be in a museum, ah ah!) ,  the problem would be finding a film stock for it.
