    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. Condition In overall excellent condition Leatherette in good condition  Lovely clean lens All functions working perfectly Clean battery compartments

    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.
