It features a nice 12.5-25m f2.8 zoom lens. We recommend the following Kodak Super 8 film types for this camera: Ektachrome 100D (color reversal), Tri-X 7266 (black and white reveral), Vision 3 50D (color negative for sunny outdoor conditions), and Vision 3 200T (color negative with for indoor use).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eFor critical focusing, the camera includes a feature called 'focus-matic' which is a type of mechanical rangefinder. To use it, just look at the subject through the camera's viewfinder, angle the camera downward so you're looking at the base of the subject, press the 'focus-matic' button and the focusing distance will be displayed. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis camera requires four AAA batteries (not included) which power both the film motor and automatic exposure.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCondition notes \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe camera is excellent aesthetic and functional condition. We confirmed the motor is operating smoothly by running a cartridge through it (we did not get it developed however) and we observed the light meter\/aperture is responding correctly to light. Film plane focus accuracy and sharpness was verified on an auto-collimator.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSpecs \u003c\/strong\u003e(according to \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.filmkorn.org\/super8data\/\"\u003ehttps:\/\/www.filmkorn.org\/super8data\/\u003c\/a\u003e)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003edesign: 492-F\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003esilent super 8 cartridge\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003elens: B\u0026amp;H Zoom f: 2.8 \\ F: 12.5-25 mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ezooming ratio: 2x\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003efocusing: manual, trigonometric distance scale (Focus-Matic)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ezooming: auto and manual\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003efilter size: ?\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eviewfinder: reflex with adjustable eyepiece\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eviewfinder information: correct exposure LED (green), under-exposure LED (red)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eexposure: fully auto exposure control; not TTL Electric Eye\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003efilm speed: auto for 25\/40 and 100\/160 ASA (daylight\/tungsten)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eASA notching:1-pin\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCCA filter: built-in 85A filter, with filter cancellation key\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003efilming speed: 18 fps\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eshutter opening angle: \u0026lt;180 degrees\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003esound: no\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eremote control socket: no\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ecable release socket: no\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003emovie light socket: kodak type\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003efilm couter: 1-15 mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ehandle: retractable\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003efilm drive motor: DC micromotor\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003epower source: 4 x AAA batteries only\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eweight: 680 g\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003edimensions: 65 x 200 x 180 mm \\ 65 x 200 x 105 mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003etripod socket: 1\/4\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cb\u003emade in Japan by Bell \u0026amp; Howell\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Bell and Howell","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":32842607165526,"sku":"","price":115.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0265\/4401\/3398\/products\/BELLANDHOWELL492_super8camera_20200618_394.jpg?v=1592523417","url":"https:\/\/www.newwavepool.ca\/products\/bell-and-howell-492-super-8-movie-camera","provider":"New Wave Pool","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
