AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Canon Cine Zoom 512 – 8mm film camera – 1964

Beautiful and impressive Canon Cine Zoom 512, a high-quality 8mm film camera from 1964. At the time this was the top model within Canon 8mm cameras and it was designed with a lot of technology that was also applied in 16mm film cameras.

The camera features a bright Canon zoom lens of 8.5–42.5 mm with a maximum aperture of f/1.2 and a 5x zoom. The camera has a manual focus and zoom mechanism, a built-in CdS light meter, and a spring motor with manual winding. It can shoot at 8, 12, 16, 24, 32, 48 and 64 frames per second, and frame-by-frame recording is also possible.

The variable shutter can be set from 165° to fully closed, enabling, among other things, fade-ins and fade-outs. The camera measures about 210 × 114 × 53 mm and weighs approximately 1.7 kg.

A special and beautiful example of the high-quality 8mm film technology from the 1960s. An interesting collectible for enthusiasts of vintage film cameras and Canon equipment.

Condition and operation: winding works as it should, shooting at all speeds also works as it should, the zoom works well but only the automatic zoom from the handgrip batteries no longer works unfortunately. Light intensity setting also works well.

In short, a good Super 8 camera.
