Vintage Bell & Howell Model 492 Focus-Matic Autoload Super 8mm Film Movie Camera

Vintage Bell & Howell Model 492 Focus-Matic Autoload Super 8mm Film Movie Camera Pre-owned in good condition with normal wear & tear. The Bell and Howell Model 492 Focus-matic is a simple, lightweight Super 8 movie camera from the early 1970s. It features a nice 12.5-25m f2.8 zoom lens. We recommend the following Kodak Super 8 film types for this camera: Ektachrome 100D (color reversal), Tri-X 7266 (black and white reveral), Vision 3 50D (color negative for sunny outdoor conditions), and Vision 3 200T (color negative with for indoor use). For critical focusing, the camera includes a feature called 'focus-matic' which is a type of mechanical rangefinder. To use it, just look at the subject through the camera's viewfinder, angle the camera downward so you're looking at the base of the subject, press the 'focus-matic' button and the focusing distance will be displayed. This camera requires four AAA batteries (not included) which power both the film motor and automatic exposure. The handle cover is missing. Please refer to the pictures. What you see is what you get.
