AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

This beautiful film recorder from the 1960s is a real eye-catcher.

Lens Turret: The camera is equipped with a swiveling head that can hold three different fixed Resonar lenses: a 9mm wide-angle, a 13mm standard, and a 32mm telephoto lens. This provides the user with different focal lengths without having to physically swap the lens.

Film format: It is designed for standard 8mm film (also known as Regular 8). This format became popular in the 1930s and was largely replaced by Super 8 in 1965.

Mechanical Clockwork: The camera operates on a wind-up clockwork mechanism that must be manually wound with a lever on the side. This means that no batteries are needed for the camera’s motor itself.
