Nizo S2 Super 8 Camera, Fully Tested, 24 FPS

A BEAUTIFUL, LIGHTWEIGHT NIZO S2

The Nizo S2 is a particularly enjoyable Super 8 camera for anyone who appreciates a compact, lightweight design without giving up the classic Nizo look and feel.

This particular camera has been in the MonsterFlipsUSA shop for about a year. It was originally intended to be kept for personal use because of how much it is enjoyed. After acquiring three more Nizo S2 cameras, this one is finally being offered to another filmmaker.

The S2 is light, portable, and exceptionally comfortable to handle. Its ergonomics are one of the things that make this camera so enjoyable to actually take out and shoot with.

A GREAT ENTRY INTO SUPER 8 FILMMAKING

The Nizo S2 is an excellent choice for someone looking for an affordable way into the rediscovered world of Super 8 film photography.

Its compact size makes it especially convenient for handheld shooting, travel, everyday filmmaking, or anyone who wants a Super 8 camera that is easy to carry without feeling cumbersome.

The Schneider-Kreuznach Variogon 10-30mm f/1.8 zoom lens, automatic exposure and both manual and automatic zooming provide a straightforward and enjoyable shooting experience.

VINTAGE CARRYING BAG

If you choose the vintage carrying bag included with this camera, please understand that these original Nizo bags are approximately 50 years old and are provided exactly as found.

MonsterFlipsUSA specializes in camera servicing, not upholstery or bag restoration. The interior materials of these vintage bags can deteriorate over time and may shed small fibers of felt or foam. The exterior may also show wear, scuffs and other signs of decades of use and storage.

These bags are offered at a very low additional cost, typically around $20, and sometimes are included free with a camera. They are provided as a vintage accessory, not as a professionally restored carrying case.

Please do not purchase the bag if you require modern, like-new condition. Modern replacement bags are a better choice for buyers who are particularly concerned about the condition of the carrying case.

No returns, exchanges or refunds will be accepted based on the condition of the vintage carrying bag.

STORE-WIDE VINTAGE CAMERA DISCLAIMER

All Super 8 cameras are approximately 50 years old. Please understand that no lens will be perfect. That said, due to the relatively low resolution of the Super 8 format, most minor imperfections will not be visible once the film is developed.

Please also understand that vintage cameras will naturally show signs of age and use. Cosmetic imperfections do not necessarily affect the camera's ability to record film.

IMPORTANT NOTE REGARDING NIZO SIDE LIDS

Nizo side lids commonly have scuffs and scratches due to their age. By purchasing this item, you acknowledge and accept that returns will not be granted due to scuffs, scratches, or small bumps on the side or front lids.

These imperfections are cosmetic and do not affect the camera's ability to record film.
