FILM TESTED Sankyo LXL-255 Super-8 movie camera

A great Super-8 camera in excellent condition. This camera has very good low light capability, having an 'XL' wide shutter angle, and f/1.2 lens.

See the gallery for a short test video we shot with this camera.

It comes with a folding hand-grip and has some neat features:

• Slow-motion mode
• f/1.2 lens (very good for low light)
• Power zoom lens (gets you 2.5x closer to the action)
• Macro focus - you can focus the lens to as close as a couple of centimetres which is very unusual
• Fully automatic exposure
• Manual exposure control
• Remote control socket
• Film counter
• Built-in sliding lens hood
• Battery check button
• Tungsten / Daylight switch
• Hand strap 
• Takes film speeds ISO 25-100 (Daylight) and 40-160 (Tungsten) i,e, Kodak 50D or 200T are perfect.
