John Waters and his 16mm sound-on-film Auricon... with a zoom lens that had its own side "through-the-lens" eye piece as the Auricon was only equipped with a parallax eye piece. I owned exactly the same rig with the same lens and loaned it to Quentin Tarantino to shoot his first film, MY BEST FRIEND'S BIRTHDAY (1987). We also used it to shoot EVIL SPAWN the same year. Andy Milligan used the same model on THE GHASTLY ONES and some of his other films. It wasn't a fancy camera, but it's beauty was that it recorded the sound directly onto a magnetic stripe on the edge of the film, which cut out a lot of technical stuff for inexperienced filmmakers. :-)
