ELMO Single-8 8S-30T

        
Overview

ELMO's x3 zoom Single-8 format camera. This is a very unique one.

This is a small camera, but has a very unique superimposition system.
(Please see 8S-40T photo)
This system is composed of external mirror, internal half mirror (beam splitter), and closeup lens.
Attach optional title holder and title card in correct position, left side of camera.
Swing open external mirror on left side of camera.
Shoot a superimposed title without resorting to double exposure.

Almost all of ELMO's Single-8 cameras have rewind mechanism.
And can film in reverse. Though the 8S-30T is a very cheap camera, it has useful and unique functions.
No manual exposure control. Only Backlight control.
No focus method. 18fps only.
