I wasn't recommending the use of 5247 for still photography. I just
wanted to point out that so-called movie film will quite happily
run through a still camera.

Any camera could be used for single-frame animation *IF* the registration
problem can be solved. I recall a NIKON F3 was used to do some of the
special effects in INDIANA JONES AND THE TEMPLE OF DOOM.  The problem
of registration might be harder to solve on a 'blad, but in principle
it could be done.
