ELMO C300

Overview
ELMO ZOOM C300 accepts all formats of 8mm film.
(as known as "Honeywell Elmo Tri-filmatic 8mm Zoom")

This camera soon became 4-way though it was 3-way at the time of release.

C200 and C300 have bulit-in No.85 filter, which is automatically
positioned in front of the film when a Super-8 cartridge is loaded.
To move the filter, a filter screw must be inserted in an accessory
socket.

During single frame shooting, shutter speed is approximately 1/20 second.
But exposure meter indicates value to be 1/40 second at (18 fps) setting.
Therefore, the exposure must be decreased by 1 stop.

Impression
I have never used this camera.
