Question about Elmo 3600 Album Super 8 camera

Post by maprice123 »

Got my hands on a functional Elmo 3600 Album camera with the 4.6 mm super wide lens. Problem is, I don't have the manual and cannot find one on the web.

Does anybody know what film speeds this thing will meter automatically?

It is one of those cameras that you load the S8 cartridge in from the end. When I look down at the gate, I see only one pin for film speed setting. The 85 filter pin is pushed in (filter is out of the light path), and it seems stuck in that position.

Wow, very rare camera.
The filter of this camera is fixed.
It is necessary to disassemble it to remove the filter.
The exposure can be easily corrected.
