Bauer C 500 XLM Super 8 camera

The Bauer C 500 XLM comes from the last C-series of Bauer Super 8 camera.  This line of cameras boasted greater shutter angles and faster lenses, making them ideal for lower light conditions. The images taken by its optics render beautiful colors and excellent contrast.  The automatic exposure is precise and the sharpness is superb. The Bauer C 500 XLM is a rather lightweight, yet sturdy camera, making it good for run-and-gun shooting conditions.  The camera handle folds for increased portability. It also has fade and slow-motion functions.

This camera is in very good condition. The lenses and viewfinder are free of dust, scratches or fungus. All functions have been tested with film.  It is also equipped with a new eyecup and browpad, manufactured by Andre Égido. Delivered with its carrying strap and carrying bag.
