Sankyo Zoom Ref 8: 8mm retro cine camera

A nice exampe of an 8mm camera with clockwork drive. Also has a zoom lens and built-in meter (not tested).

The viewfinder and lens are pretty clean, and the clockwork drive works at all speeds (from 8fps to 48 fps).

Comes with original leather case and grip.

Note that this camera takes Double-8 film (not Super 8) which is rather a specialist format. We have not film tested this camera so can't guarantee fully, but the meter and clockwork drive seem to work OK. See the video for the clockwork drive operating.
