AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

This beautiful video camera has been tested and found to be working. It shows light signs of use.

Film format: The camera uses Double 8mm film (also known as Standard 8), where a 16mm reel is exposed on both sides and is cut in the middle after development.

Lens mounting: Equipped with a D-mount, allowing lenses to be easily swapped. Common standard lenses on this model are the Lytar 12.5mm f/2.5 or the Yvar 12.5mm f/2.8.

Drive: The camera operates entirely mechanically with a spring motor. You must wind the camera by hand before you can shoot.

Construction: The housing is made of sturdy metal, finished with black leather or artificial leather and chrome details, giving it a typical 1950s look.
