This is a well-made simple compact existing light Super 8 camera, claimed to have the fastest zoom lens F1.0 at the time (1976). It has a rather small but clear viewfinder with no focussing aid. It uses a separate electric eye lens above the zoom which gives accurate exposure control despite not being through the taking lens.
