URGENT! Question about elmo C-300 camera.

[Guest]

Hi,

I have a simple question for all who knows the elmo-c300 camera. I know there is a model that accepts 3 formats, the double8 the single8 and the double super8, could you tell me if this camera can also accept the doublesuper8 too, or it is a different model?

here is the link:

Hi,

I know there is the dual-filmatic and the tri-filmatic elmo c-300 cameras. But i'm not sure what model is that is shown in that web-site.

best regards,

Some of them do:

The TRI-FILMATIC actually accepts 4 different magazines encompassing what is basically the 8mm and Super 8mm formats in their various versions (FUJI's Single-8 silent magazine, KODAK's Super 8mm silent Cartridge, Kodak & others' 25ft Double 8mm Film Spool, and sometime later they introduced the Double Super 8mm 100ft Magazine with its own built in drive motors for the camera. Along with the Double Super 8mm Magazine, you needed the optional longer viewfinder tube, and there also is a larger top body carrying handle, and also a custom pistol grip to hold this massive camera more comfortably.

Here is the manual for the 300 DS8 magazine:

Carlos,

I've searched for information and found that there are some different models of the elmo c-300, often called tri-filmatic. The elmo dual-filmatic is the c-200 model. So this is an elmo c-300 for sure, but i'm not certain if it takes the ds8 30m magazin, it might be a older model, notice that this is a ilford elmo model, that is very rare, you can check the difference from the camera from the link you gave me and this one:
