Retro stuff

This is my „Fujuca Zoom 8 Deluxe“

It‘s a fully electric double-eight film camera. So it films two lanes (into both directions) of 8mm frames onto a 16mm film. This used to be the standard way of amateur filming from it‘s invention by Eastman Kodak in the early 1930‘s until the introduction of Super8 cartridges in 1965.

This exemplary was exported out of japan in 1964, so it‘s a pretty late model with a lot of features, like zoom, fades, „electric eye“ automatic exposure (which doesn‘t work any more because there are no more 2,4V mercury batteries around anymore 😬).

I got it in it‘s original leather bag (which is soooo stylish 🤩🤩), it‘s original users manual and the export confirmation from 1964. And it basically still works which is just so cool.

Look at this Video I’ve shot with my ✨Fujica✨ 8mm Camera (that is absolutely inable to do any lighting*) in 2024.

….but it could literally be out of ✨1964✨ (if there was‘nt the guy on his phone at the end)

….so the discussion is basically if you prefer film over tape or the other way around 😂
