The final question for the actual Super8-second-hand-market: Will the "Porst"-items be as good as the "original" ones? The answer is: yes. Since everyone knew the real origins of the "Porst"-items, no company wanted to ruin its reputation this way. Nevertheless you'll notice that the "Porst"-models mainly reflect Bauer's/Silma's/Chinon's/Eumig's/... low-cost or mid-range product-lines. Hence you'll mainly find "work horses" and no real "flagships" in this section. | The final question for the actual Super8-second-hand-market: Will the "Porst"-items be as good as the "original" ones?
