A lovely example of one of the most sought-after Super-8 cameras
Auto Zoom 814 Super 8 - Canon Camera Museum (global.canon)
See the gallery for a test film shot with this camera.
In full working order, this camera has auto / manual exposure control, and a shutter open / close functions for manual fade-out / fade-ins.
It was the first Super-8 camera to have a wide f/1.4 aperture combined with a powerful 8x zoom.
Takes 4x AA batteries and 2 x SR44 batteries for the light meter.
Note that as an option this camera is also available modified to power the light meter from the main batteries using a 2.7 volt voltage regulator, so no separate meter batteries are needed. This improves meter accuracy and stability.
This camera has been fully tested and all functions are working correctly.
Has a folding hand grip (holding the batteries) that folds up when not in use for easier portability.
Condition
Body in fairly good condition with minor scuffs from use
In full working order.

Many Sankyo Super-8 cameras use a special 4xAA battery holder with an extra connection on the end (to give 6 volts to the camera, and 3 volts to the meter). This often deteriorates with age and cracks.
This is a direct replacement.
