Nizo Professional B-Stock Super 8 Camera

YOU ARE IN THE B-STOCK SECTION... where quality meets affordability. Our B-stock cameras may have a few tales to tell – a scratch here, a scuff there – and a button or function that doesn't respond as when it was new; but rest assured, these cameras are functional and ready to capture your next masterpiece. By offering these cameras at reduced prices, we aim to make vintage filmmaking accessible to all without compromising on quality. 

This set includes:

• Nizo Professional Camera
• Main drive battery holder
• Modern batteries (2) for the light meter.
  
• Eye cup for the viewfinder (please keep in mind that all vintage Eye-Cups age badly and the rubber's curvature changes over time)

Great for a relatively low cost entry into the rediscovered world of Super 8 with its amazing vintage look, or for anyone starting off on Film School.

Motor runs smooth! Zoom in/out works. Film counter works, Filter Switch functions. Clean film compartment. Solid handle grip. Zero rust anywhere, incredibly clean and well maintained. Old grease replaced with non-petroleum synthetic lube.  Viewfinder adjusts. Lens focusing ring actuates perfectly smooth. Auto zoom in both slow and faster actions works and sounds wonderful. Macro switch engages perfectly without any effort. Viewfinder is nice and clean. All speeds work as intended, speed and motor torque adjusted to original specs. Shutter release cancelled and removed (shutter action can be made via the Frame Rate/Time Lapse switch as demonstrated on the video.
