It looks like there are two versions of the camera: An "all black" and a "silver & black" one.
Comments[edit]
It's a great camera: small, light weight and can do 24fps. Like my Nizo 4056 it tends to give a "too little light" warning too early.
Never do a "test run" when there's no cassette in the camera - especially when the camera hasn't been used for a while!
It probably appeared around 1977 rather than 1979, superseding the earlier 156XL. Basically the same as the 156XL but with a macro facility on the Schneider lens. It's only real disadvantage is the common one with late design Super 8 that it only recognizes 25/40T and 100/160T cartridges though full manual overrride is available.
The picture above shows the 156 model which has a non-XL shutter and no 9 or 36 fps.
