FILM TESTED Elmo Super 110 Super-8 movie camera
$495.00
Originally on sale from 1967 this top quality camera has a full die-cast metal body. It takes 4x AA batteries in the handle which folds away when not in use.
See the gallery for a test film shot with this camera.
This camera has a number of very useful features that not all Super-8s have, as you might expect from Nikon:
The viewfinder has a Split Image focusing screen - much more accurate than most Super-8s
Manual exposure control, which also enables you fade in / out of scenes
Meter works with a very wide range of film speeds
The left side of the camera has a footage counter, remote socket and frame rate selector.
The zoom lens can be operated manually or motorised via the top Tele/Wide switch.
This camera normally also needs 2 x SR44 batteries to operate the light meter. We offer an option to upgrade the camera to power the meter from the main batteries using a precise voltage regulator. This removes the need for additional batteries in addition to providing a very stable supply for greater meter accuracy.
Has an adjustable eyepiece and battery check button on the top.

FILM TESTED Canon Auto Zoom 814 Electronic Super-8 movie camera
$625.00
The Nikon R8 (and larger R10) are highly sought-after cine cameras. With excellent build quality from the die-cast metal body to the superb lens, they are capable of delivering exceptional quality.
See the gallery for a short test video taken with this camera.
The R8 has an 8x zoom lens, with a very fast aperture of f1.4 giving excellent low light capabilities.
The user manual is available for download here.
The R8 has some built-in advanced features that enable great creativity when shooting, including:
Full manual exposure control (in addition to automatic)
Fade-in and fade-out
Overlap / rewind - to fade from one scene to another. This was a groundbreaking achievement that set the R8/10 apart from other Super-8 cameras
Variable shutter angle
54 / 24 / 18 frames per second
This camera is a legend among Super-8 enthusiasts.
The camera takes 6 x AA batteries in the sturdy grip, and 2 SR44 (with brass adaptors - supplied) for the meter.
As an option we can offer the R8 with a conversion so that the meter is powered from the main batteries via a stable 2.7v voltage regulator. This eliminates the need for separate meter batteries, and also improves exposure accuracy since the regulator supplies the same voltage as the original mercury batteries for which the camera was designed. Please allow a few extra days for this to be completed if selected.

In overall excellent condition
Leatherette in good condition
