Canon 8mm Camera + Case/Tele Lens/Exposure Meter/Film

Hey, all! I'm selling my Canon Auto Zoom 518. It's a Super 8 camera in great condition.

I'm also including a bunch of extras, such as a bag, tele lens, exposure meter, and four unopened, unused Super 8 cartridges. I'm also including the manuals for most of the components, in case you need some help figuring everything out.

I'm selling it via eBay over here:

This would be an excellent camera to film vintage-style movies with, and with everything I'm including, the only thing you'd need to make a good short is film editing/processing equipment.

This camera really takes my mind back to the great indie films of yesteryear. One of my favorite directors, Sam Raimi, filmed "Within the Woods" (a short test-film he made before "Evil Dead") on an 8mm camera. I am personally fascinated with the indie equipment of the past, and think that 8mm cameras have a certain appealing campiness about them.

Anyways, have a look and put down a bid if you're wanting to make a vintage-style film on a small budget.

Happy bidding!
 
Canon makes sweet S8 cameras. Good luck with your Ebay-ing. :cool:

One thing you should know: The 4 film cartridges that are an included selling-point for your sale... Kodachrome carts are no longer developed by any lab. Anyone buying the camera with the hope of using those cartridges will be sorely disappointed.
 
Nobody develops them? NOOOOOO! Curse my ignorance!

Oh, well. At least you were kind enough to point that out. For that I thank you!

At any rate, its still got the extra lens, carrying case, and exposure meter included, so I hope that helps me move it. Too bad my buyer will have to hassle with finding cartridges now...

Thanks, dude!
