Comments[edit]
This is a Single8-camera!
Reviews[edit]
A test can be found in issue 08/1979 of the German magazine "Film & Video".
One of Fujica's top models of Single-8 camera, similar to the ZM500 but with a longer lens. Has a nice assortment of features and the lens is sharp. The body is metal and the door latch mechanism is very solid. I really like the built-in hand crank. My one gripe would be the lack of any other speeds besides 18 fps.
