This beautiful double super 8 (manufactured in England during the 50's for the italian market) is equipped with 3 very prestigious and rare D-mount english lenses:

The double super 8 is basically 16mm width film with Super 8 sprockets.
Its the cheapest and more ergonomic way to shoot Pro-movies on film.

------------

The lenses are in optical superb conditions despite the age with only minor imperfections (not being serviced).
Bodies shows signs of normal use and age but are in overall beautiful condition.
Everything seems to work as it should but since I am not a film shooter I sell the item in AS IS CONDITION.
