Re: 8mm camera info
I would say "no". I only know, as electric operated 8mm camera, the "Canon Zoom 8 EEE" which is also reflex, but with fixed lens...

Re: 8mm camera info
There are the Yashica models that are electric powered. The d-mount version is called the Yashica-M which has two or three lenses on a turret but it's not reflex. There is a reflex version with a zoom lens that is not removeable that's called the Yashica U-Matic. I have one of each of these and can post pictures of them if you want to see them. They do show up on eBay at times with prices from $10 to $50.

The nearest thing would be a bolex B/C/D/H8 with a Pan Cinor zoom lens which came with a relflex dog leg view finder.

Anyway, it seems almost certain that there isn't such a camera

Do you ship to the US? (I've needed one for my Bolex L8)
Re: 8mm camera info
Yes, unregistered mail (at your own risk) to the USA is about 10 euro.downix wrote:Do you ship to the US? (I've needed one for my Bolex L8)
Registered or insured mail is more

Re: 8mm camera info
The Yashica-M I have takes d-mount lenses but is not reflex. I have seen a triple lens turrent model on eBay but I'm not sure if it was electric or clockwork. Because of their short flange focus d-mounts may not be suitable for reflex cameras which require space between the lens and gate for a prism or pelicle. That is why the Bolex H8 Reflex has special c-mount lenses.tr0x wrote:I've seen it a couple of times on ebay, it seems a very nice camera, but unfortunately i need d-mount lenses...Herb Montes wrote:There are the Yashica models that are electric powered.

Yay! My Bolex L8 will be workable again! (it's lens apeture blades "fell" rendering it useless)

you will need an adapter to use a d-mount lens with the L-8... but since i don't have that camera, i cannot confirm this.

Re: 8mm camera info
Yes, the L8 uses d-mount lenses with a longer focal distance. Or a standard d-mount with an adapter ring that increases that distance. I got one of those adapters that came with a lens. I simply removed the adapter to use the lens on another camera.
Re: 8mm camera info
Any way I could buy the adaptor from you?Herb Montes wrote:Yes, the L8 uses d-mount lenses with a longer focal distance. Or a standard d-mount with an adapter ring that increases that distance.

Re: 8mm camera info
apparently some of the beaulieus have d mount and reflex viewing. but beaulieus are hard to get cameras at the best of times.
