Hi,

the following link describes the Quarz 1x8S-2, but lists "Krasnogorsk" as manufacturer?!? Is the wiki incorrect?!

Quote: The Krasnogorsk Quarz 1x8S-2 Super 8mm camera is great for making 8mm film on black & white or color films. The filmmaking process is simplified by its automatic through-the-lens (TTL) metering system which ensures perfect exposure. Micropyramids in the viewfinder's field of view provide for speedy and exact image focusing. The through-the-lens (parallax-free) viewing system enables you to see exactly what the lens pictures on the film. A high-power zoom lens allows you to smoothly vary filming scale by four times and still shoot in conditions of relatively poor illumination. A wide range of filming speeds allows slow-motion effects, normal and high-speed effects. Animated cartoons can be produced by means of a cable release, which allows shooting one frame at a time. Filming speeds include 9, 12, 18, 24, 32 fps as well as single frame exposure. The super 8mm Quarz weighs in at just over 2 pounds and has a zoom range from 9mm to 38mm, with relative lens aperture scale from f/1.8 to f/22.
