Also, most side lids will have some form of wear, scratches, small bumps, etc., these do NOT affect the quality of your film.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eImportant Note on Condition: We specialize in professional mechanical servicing and full functional testing of these vintage Super 8 cameras. We do not restore or refinish cosmetic aspects such as scuffs, paint wear, loose leather panels, eyepiece wear, or any exterior aesthetics. Some signs of age are normal on 50+ year-old cameras.
