Tooting Rewind: Watch this video of Tooting and Balham Carnival in 1974
By The Editor 2nd Mar 2021
Watch this video from 1974 documenting Tooting and Balham Carnival.
The old footage was uploaded on Youtube by username 'horipet' in 2017.
In the description, they write: "Filmed with a Quarz 5 camera (standard 8mm). Clockwork, Russian made. You had to remember to wind it up between shots - but no batteries to buy or charge!
"Semi-auto exposure - you moved a needle in the viewfinder to the central position, using a lever under the exposure meter beneath the lens.
"I was far too fond of filming on the long end of the zoom - so lots of soft focus. Mercifully short, because filmstock was expensive!"
