The Canon EEE is a fairly common well made Standard 8 camera. Unlike a lot of standard 8 cameras the Canon EEE is battery powered instead of clockwork.

The battery holder for the Canon EEE camera is sometimes missing and isn’t easy to replace. If you are planning to buy one you, it is always best to make sure that it has it’s battery holder.

Bolex M8 & M8R

Specifications
Lens	Early Models: 20mm f/1.6 Later models: 15mm f/1.3 Hi-Fi 20mm f/1.3 Hi-Fi (standard) 25mm f/1.3 Hi-Fi 33mm f/1.6 (available as an accessory)
Running speed(s)	Variable, approx. 12-24 f.p.s.
Format(s)	Standard 8
Reel Capacity	400ft
Lamp	110v 500w A1/7 (CZX)
Sound	Silent. A sound attachment was available for syncing the projector to a 1/4" tape player.
Power source	Mains. 110-120v, 50-60Hz (M8), 110-250v, 50-60Hz AC or DC (M8R)
Dimensions (W x H x D)	12″ x 6″ x 13″
Year of production	1949 – 1960

The Bolex M8 & M8R are both very well made projectors and are amongst the best Standard 8 projectors ever made. They do however use quite expensive lamps and make quite a bit of noise when running (sounds a little bit like a hair dryer).

The early Bolex M8s have a textured olive green finish, while later models have a smooth grey/silver finish. Some of the later models also have a stroboscope which allows you to set the running speed to exactly 18fps. On both the Bolex M8 & M8R if the projector is running too slowly the motor will stop and start every few seconds to warn you to increase the speed.

Bolex is still in business and I believe that they can still service these projectors.
