Impression
I have this camera. Canon lens is diffrent from Fujinon,it has a warmer tone. Fujichrome R25(N) + Fujinon tends to have bluish tone,this Canon lens makes colors looks more natural.So many Single-8 user love this camera. Rewind system is good, with high frame stability Same as 518, grip is so slippery. Please be careful.
