FILM TESTED Canon 1218 Super-8 movie camera in original case. Battery conversion available.

A striking camera with the largest lens we have seen on a Super-8

This is a lovely example of a unique-looking Super-8, with a massive 12x zoom.

The Canon Museum has full details of the specifications at Auto Zoom1218 Super 8 - Canon Camera Museum (global.canon)

See the gallery for a test film shot with this camera. 

This camera is relatively easy to use, and is not cluttered by complex features. It has:

• Variable-speed power zoom
• Automatic exposure
• Manual exposure (can be used to fade-out, fade-in).
• Shooting speeds of 18, 24 frames-per-second and slow-motion

In full working order.

The same model was taken by David Bowie on a trip to Russia in 1973. An iconic combination !

Takes 5x AA batteries, plus 2 x SR44 batteries for the light meter. Note that we can modify this camera to supply the light meter circuits with a regulated 2.7v source powered by the main batteries (can be selected as an option when purchasing). 

This has been fully tested and all functions are working correctly.

Has a removable hand grip, and comes with the original case, lens-cap and rubber lens hood.

Condition 

• Body in good condition with minor tarnishing / scuffs from use
• In full working order.
