Canon's original 8mm camera wth clockwork drive.
Comes with two lenses (on rotating turret).
The lenses come with original screw-in lens caps.
The handle for the clockwork drive is missing, so this camera is suited for display / parts only.
The bayonet-mount lenses are in very good condition - clear with no mould.
Note that this camera takes Double-8 film (not Super 8) which is rather a specialist format. We have not film tested this camera so can't guarantee fully, but the meter and clockwork drive seem to work OK. See the video for the clockwork drive operating.
