Perfect condition (exactly as described), works amazingly, much more reliable than buying the best deal on Ebay. Thank you!

Thank you for sending the camera with such care and on time delivery. My fiancé absolutely loved it and such a surprise! Thank you!
The camera looks new and works great! We're on our 2nd roll of Super 8 film.
Due to my friend and I being amateur with anything analog/film related, I reached out to the seller multiple times for tips & tricks, and he was more than willing to help us. Camera is in good working condition, and my friend absolutely enjoyed shooting my wedding film with it! Highly recommend purchasing through this seller for all of your Super8 needs
Camera arrived quickly and packed very well. In fantastic condition especially given its age. Just shot my first roll today and it performed flawlessly. If you're in the market for a Super 8 camera that's been thoroughly serviced for a great price, look no further.. really. Thanks Andres!
