FILM TESTED Elmo 2600AF Autofocus Super-8 cine camera.

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

It is a rare item - a Super-8 camera with an autofocus system built-in.

This was an early implementation of an autofocus system, so don't expect the speed and accuracy of a modern camera, but it works pretty well (it certainly focuses faster than we can do manually !).

This cine camera has good list of specs, including:

• Wide aperture lens (f/1.4)
• 6 x power zoom 
• Viewfinder information: f/stop, film-end signal, shooting signal
  
• Macro setting for close-ups
• Split-prism for manual focusing
• Auto / Manual exposure control
• Folding handle
• Standard remote socket
• Takes film speeds: Daylight (ISO 25, 100) and Tungsten (40, 160) 
• Shooting speed: 18 fps 
• Takes 6x AA batteries

Condition

• In overall very good condition with just a few scuffs but nothing major
• All functions working well
