    Film Capacity: 100ft (30m), 50ft (15m) and 25ft daylight loading spools of double run 8mm film. When a roll runs through the camera, only half the width of film is exposed. The spool is then reversed and run through again, exposing the other half. When processed, film is split and spliced together giving twice the amount for projection.

    Release Button: provides for the making of continuous exposures by a finger-tip release on the front of the camera. A side release allows for locked, hands-free running or single frame exposures.
    Shutter: 190 degree aperture shutter
    Footage Counter: adds and subtracts accurately in forward or reverse motion and automatically returns to zero when film is reloaded into the camera.
    Frame Counter: Twin dial counts frames individually and in total; Adds frames in forward motion and subtracts when film is wound backwards. Dial may be reset manually at any time.
    Time lapse and animation is possible by using the side release button or an accessory cable release and adapter; I-T lever allows for timed or instantaneous single exposures.
    Clutch disengages spring motor and permits forward movement and backwind without running down the spring; allows for dissolves and superimposition.

    Dimensions: 8 1/2″ x 6″ x 3″
    Weight: Approximately 5 1/2 lbs

     

Good condition and fully working. Motor sounds sweet.

Lens is clear and bright. The focus and aperture rings are both easy but firm.

Minor external body marks from being used.
