Key Features

• Premium Fujinon Optics: The 8-64mm f/1.8 zoom lens (8x zoom ratio) offers a versatile range from wide-angle to telephoto with excellent sharpness.

• Electron Beam Coating (EBC): Significantly reduces flare and ghosting, ensuring high contrast even in backlit situations.

• Creative Fading Controls: Features a variable shutter for fading in/out and a built-in rewind mechanism for creating professional lap dissolves.

• Multi-Speed Shooting: Supports 18, 24, and 36 fps (slow motion) for varied cinematic looks, plus a single-frame mode for animation.

• Single-8 System: Utilizes the superior film flatness of the Single-8 cartridge (polyester base), resulting in sharper images compared to standard Super 8.

• Macro Focusing: Allows for close-up shooting to capture fine details.

Condition Report

• Body: Good Condition. The camera shows typical signs of age and use, such as minor cosmetic wear on the grip or body edges, but no major impact damage. The battery compartment is clean.

• Optics: Clear. The Fujinon lens is in good shape with no fungus or separation. Minor dust specks may be present internally, which is normal for a lens of this age and does not affect footage.

• Shutter Count: N/A (Film Camera).

Specialist Note

"The Z800 is a hidden gem in the 8mm world. While many flock to Super 8, the Single-8 system used here actually offers better film flatness, which means your image stays sharper across the frame. The EBC coating on this specific 8-64mm lens is legendary for its ability to handle difficult lighting. It’s a robust tool for anyone wanting to experiment with analog motion picture film."
