I'm looking for a film camera that sees in dark?

Question

Any suggestions please?
I liked Canon's ME20F-SH, it cost 20,000$
WHAT.

Answer 1

A very high speed film, e.g. 3200 ISO, will enable you to get photos in most conditions, especially when coupled to a lens of max aperture around F1.8.

In true absolute visual darkness you need to be exploring infra-red film and possibly infra-red illumination, depending on your subject matter.

Answer 2

Look for a camcorder with IR capability. Now, in the world of photography and videography, always remember, you get exactly what you pay for.

Answer 3

Think: Can YOU see in the dark?

No?

Guess what...
A camera can't either!

Answer 4

and, two years ago, that camera retailed for $30k … so you are getting the unit at a steal.

Answer 5

What do you actually want to do? Movies at night?

You can do like nature documentary people do and use IR sensitive cameras and IR lights.

Otherwise there are cameras like this

Or check the many DIY sites where you modify existing cameras, e.g.

Answer 6

Any camera sees in the dark with the correct film and a fast lens. No film camera is any better at low level capture than another, with the wrong lens and film. The ME20 is digital with a sensitive sensor. That is its film. I don't know any film that is ISO 2,000,000 like the ME20 sensor.

Answer 7

You might instead try to experiment with infrared-sensitive film, which should work in most ordinary film cameras.

Black & white only, and you'll have to set your exposure manually. It might be hard to find processing, these days, too.
