A very complete, iconic and fully functional Canon Canosound 514XL-S Super 8 film camera set from the heyday of analog cinematography (introduced in September 1976).

This exemplar bears the unique serial number 306501 and is in a wonderful, ready-to-use condition. Technical condition (Tested):
• Motor: Runs smoothly and powerfully at all speeds.
• Electronics / Battery compartment: Completely clean and free of corrosion or battery leakage. The camera starts up immediately.
• Lens & Viewfinder: Clear and clean, the zoom function works properly.

• Canon BM 50 directional boom microphone with windscreen
• Original vintage Canon accessory bag for the microphone/accessories
• External film lamp with mounting bracket and power cable for additional lighting
• Luxurious black leather storage bag with shoulder strap for the camera and lamp
Cosmetic condition:
