While the best super 8 camera standard has a long history, it was only first developed by Kodak in the early ’60s. A curious side effect of this is that there are now many brands of Super 8 cameras that you’ll need to know about before buying one. The most widely available models have a focus on cheap knock-offs, and you sadly won’t find much that’s made in the USA. That said, you have a wide range of options, including cameras from major brands like Panasonic and Agfa, as well as more obscure brands like Bolex and Ernemann.
If you’re looking for a specific vintage camera, you’ll need to know the model number, which will be printed on a label on the back of the camera. You’ll also want to check the serial number to ensure that it hasn’t been reported lost or stolen. If you’re looking for something more affordable, you can also check eBay and Craigslist for affordable retro cameras that look close enough to the real thing to fool unsuspecting people.
