Tested and fully working, this is in lovely condition! Switar 5.5mm f/1.8 Lens.

Switar 12.5mm f/1.5 Lens. YVAR 36mm f/2.8 Lens. Tested and fully working, in great working condition. Lens - clean, free of mould, dust, haze or damage. Focus - smooth, works well. Motor - runs well at all film speeds. Body - in good condition, some light scratching. Other features - all tested and working well. OVERALL DIMENSIONS: 5" x 3 1/2" x 2. OUTER CASE: Highly polished duraluminium body, covered in genuine Morocco leather. FILM CAPACITY: 25ft daylight loading spools of double run 8mm film. When a roll runs through the camera, only half the width of film is exposed. The spool is then reversed and run through again, exposing the other half.


When processed, film is split and spliced together giving 50' for projection. Projection time at 16 fps for 25' roll is 4 minutes. THREADING: manual, with no loop forming; with the pressure pad opened the film is simply placed over a guide roller, threaded behind the gate, over the bottom guide roller and onto the takeup spool. MOTOR: Constant speed, spring motor mechanism; governor controlled.
Generous winding key, attached to the camera, folds back against its side when not in use. TURRET: Accommodates three standard D mount lenses. VIEWFINDER: optical type; adjustable dial shows the scene as viewed by focal lengths of 12.5mm, 25mm and 36mm. Accessory prism attachments allow for filming with 5.5mm lenses, and for parallax correction while filming at close distances. VARIABLE SPEED: 12, 16, 18, 24, 32, 48 and 64 frames per second. RELEASE BUTTON: continuous exposures can be made by a finger tip release button or cable release. Running operation can be locked to prevent accidental exposures, or set for continuous hands-free filming. VARIABLE SHUTTER: Adjustable dial changes the shutter opening from 0-165 degrees to allow for shortened exposure times and fades. FOOTAGE COUNTER: Precise reading of exposed film footage.

Resets to zero upon reloading. SINGLE FRAME: A cable release socket allows the user to expose single frames for filming animation, titles, etc. EXPOSURE METER: A photoelectric cell measures light through the lens.

Two needle indicators in the viewfinder are then aligned by adjusting the diaphragm on your lens, resulting in proper exposure. Please note, that although the vast majority of items are delivered within 48-72 hours of dispatch, were unable to guarantee it.
