Additional info:
- Stands only 5 inches tall, and is just 3 inches wide. It is however very heavy for it's size, and has a very high quality metal case.
- The exterior finish is extremely hard wearing, with a Hammerite type look/feel.
- The case is cast metal, and has a ridged finish to aid grip.
- The viewfinder is tiny, but it works, and the whole feel of the camera is solid and dependable.
- Has a lovely smooth clockwork mechanism which is still functional.
- There's no light meter on the camera, so B&H have provided an exposure slide-rule device on the side - which allows you to select a number of parameters and have it show you the f-stop suggestion for various lighting conditions.
- You get a fixed lens (12.5mm f2.5) which can be swapped out for other focal lengths (should you have any).
- Aperture is easy to manually adjust on the lens barrel.
- If you swap in another B&H lens - you have built-in mattes on the camera, that you can swing in front of the viewfinder to correct for the new field of view.
- You get a setting wheel for FPS - and a film footage indicator, so you know when it's time to turn the film over.
- The shutter release on the front of the camera can be pressed down for filming, and up for single frame (stop animation).
