VINTAGE CARRYING BAG AND COSMETIC CONDITION

The original Nizo carrying bag is included as a vintage accessory and is supplied in the condition in which it was found. MonsterFlipsUSA specializes in camera servicing, not upholstery or bag restoration.

After approximately 50 years, the bag's interior materials may deteriorate and shed small fibers of felt or foam. The exterior may also show wear, scuffs and other signs of age and storage. These bags are offered at minimal additional cost, typically around $20, and sometimes are included at no additional charge.

The original viewfinder eyecup is also a vintage component. Rubber can deteriorate, become less supple, or change curvature over time.

Please choose a modern replacement bag if you require a like-new carrying case. Returns, exchanges or refunds will not be accepted based on the condition of the vintage bag or eyecup.

STORE-WIDE VINTAGE CAMERA DISCLAIMER

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

We specialize in professional mechanical servicing and full functional testing. We do not restore or refinish cosmetic aspects such as scratches, scuffs, paint wear, loose leather panels, eyepiece wear or other exterior imperfections.

Nizo metal covers commonly show signs of age and previous use, including scratches, wear, and marks left by previous owners. These cosmetic characteristics are normal for vintage equipment and are not evidence of mechanical malfunction. 

Mechanical servicing focuses on the camera's operating condition, not making a 50-year-old camera look new. Please review our return policy before purchasing:
