[edit] Comments

Also known as "Tri-filmatic" or "Tri-Matic". Interchangable backs for use with super 8, single 8 or regular 8 films. Later also Double Super 8. Rear loading. Manual exposure override only works if meter functions. With special back, it is one of the few Double Super 8 cameras. Rare.
