Comments[edit]

This is a Single8-camera!

This camera is a special version of the Fujica Z2 and came with an external interval timer from Fuji, called "Memomotion timer". It was mainly sold as a surveillance camera, but has also been used in universities, ... due to its low retail price and due to that timer that made it a great time-lapse-camera.

When buying this camera second-hand: Please remember that the grip isn't an option, but an important part of the camera since it holds the main batteries and the release-trigger!
