Comments[edit]

This is a great little camera feature packed for trick filming and produces sharp pictures particularly using Kodak Plus-x 7265 B/W film. If you find one with with the PMAspheric wide angle lens, it makes lite work of filming in tight places or where you need wide framing. Because it has a 58mm thread, the wide angle lens could also be used on a Canon 814e.(I have not tried this yet) Naturally 58mm filters are cheap and plentiful. Camera is easy to handle and transport on the go, and discrete enough to shoot in public without upsetting the urban natives. Hard to find but very rewarding to use. Can use this camera with Kodak 64t but you must employ manual adjustment as it reads the film at 40asa so overexposes; which may be acceptable in fairly lit indoor conditions. ie with natural sunlight entering via a window.
