There are four versions of the Eumig 810 projector. They are:
- S 810 – This version is Super 8 only.
- 810D – Dual Gauge (Super 8 & Standard 8).
- 810D H.Q.S. (High Quality Sound) – Same as 810D, but with higher quality sound.
- 810D LUX – Identical to the 810D H.Q.S. but with the “Suprogon” 12.5-25mm f/1.2 lens.
The dual gauge Eumig 810 projectors have two sets of sprockets and gates which enable you to change format. Quite often the sprocket and gate sets go missing, so if you are planning to buy one make sure it has both sets.
