EXCELLENT Minolta XL 400 Super 8 Movie Camera Cine *Film Tested & 100% Working*

Description

There is nothing like shooting on film!
For sale is a fully working Minolta XL-400 Super 8 Movie/Cine camera (made in Japan) in EXCELLENT condition!
I have tested all features with a super 8 cartridge in the camera (motor, shutter, zoom, intervalometer, single-frame, etc.), and the camera is working without issue. The battery compartment is clean with no corrosion. The previous owner etched a number into the side of the camera (see pictures).
It's got a FAST f1.2 zoom lens 8.5-34mm (4x zoom), XL (eXisting Light) shutter (220 degree shutter opening allows more light to reach film per frame - better for low light conditions, and also great for normal lighting). This is one of the best super 8 cameras for existing light (potential low-light conditions, such as you might find this summer on a road trip, visiting with friends, trekking hiking around the foothills of mountains, around the campfire, sunset on the beach or mountains, indoor parties, candlelight, moving into college, etc.).
This camera not only films at the standard super-8 rate (18 fps), but also does single-frame photography. That, along with MACRO capability, is excellent for stop motion work. This feature truly makes this my favorite super 8 camera.
Does not come with batteries - you will need 2 AA batteries.
