The lens is sharp and easy to focus and features a flexible \u003cspan\u003e 9.5-47.5mm zoom range.\u003c\/span\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe camera meters from IS0 16-100 for daylight balanced films and ISO 25-160 for tungsten films. We do not recommend Kodak Vision 3 500T for this camera but all other current Kodak film types will work well (Vision 3 200T will be overexposed a negligible amount). \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis camera requires three AA batteries for the film motor (not included) and two 675 zinc air batteries for the light meter (optional). \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAdd-ons\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003eIf you choose '+ batteries' a pair of 675 zinc air cells will be included. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCondition notes \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe camera is in very good functional and cosmetic condition (see photos). There is a small filter ring dent (we weren't able to test as it takes unusual 48mm filters). The only noteworthy cosmetic flaw is that a small decorative badge that said '518 Zoom' is ming from the from of the camera (it's very common for this badge to go missing it was perhaps lightly glued). It was tested with batteries and film cartridge (the film was not processed however). The film motor and auto-exposure are working correctly. The film plane focus sharpness and accuracy was verified on an auto-collimator.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCanon Museum Entry\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/global.canon\/en\/c-museum\/product\/cine262.html\"\u003ehttps:\/\/global.canon\/en\/c-museum\/product\/cine262.html\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eManual\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003ca href=\"http:\/\/www.fracassi.net\/iw2ntf\/manuali\/manuale%20canon%20autozoom%20518.pdf\"\u003ehttp:\/\/www.fracassi.net\/iw2ntf\/manuali\/manuale%20canon%20autozoom%20518.pdf\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSpecs\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eType: 8mm cinecamera, employing Super 8 film cartridge.
