Comments

Probably the best super 8 camera ever made. Absolutely rave reviews in the early cine press regarding simplicity, image stability and lens sharpness. But sadly, the gears fall apart with age. The problem seems to be not just the material, but the large number of small teeth on the drive gear. Earlier 'M' series cameras, though made of the same material, have larger teeth, and are not prone to disintegrate. This Camera was made by a man named Poe.

Larger viewfinder than earlier M2 and M12 models.
