About the Sankyo MF-404 Super 8 Camera

Elevate your Super 8 filmmaking experience with the Sankyo MF-404 Super 8 Camera, now available at Camera Crate. Designed for enthusiasts who crave more zoom and precision in their cinematic pursuits, the MF-404 is the mid-level gem in the MF (Macro Focus) series, offering a perfect balance of features for seasoned filmmakers and newcomers alike. The MF-404 boasts a sharp lens with a wide aperture of 1.8 and a versatile focal range of 8.5mm to 35mm. With both macro and aerial focusing options, you can effortlessly capture close-ups and sweeping landscapes with unparalleled clarity. The auto/manual zoom function empowers you to frame your shots precisely as you envision them, while the choice of frame rates, including 18 frames per second and single frame capture, ensures you have complete control over your creative process. Achieve the perfect exposure with the 220-degree shutter degree, and switch between manual and auto exposure modes to suit your shooting conditions. For added convenience, the MF-404 comes equipped with a remote control socket and cable release socket, allowing you to capture that perfect shot without disrupting your setup. Powered by four standard 1.5V AA batteries, the MF-404 is both reliable and user-friendly. However, if you find yourself yearning for even more zoom capabilities, we recommend considering the MF-606, which offers an impressive 6x zoom. On the other hand, if compactness is a priority, the MF-303 might be a better fit, featuring a 3x zoom.

Experience the magic of Super 8 filmmaking like never before with the Sankyo MF-404 Super 8 Camera.

Every camera we sell is vigorously inspected by our team. Our ten-part inspection method includes the following checks:

Lens – we check for any mould, dust, haze, dirt, cracks and air bubbles. Where possible we clean/remove any imperfections – any remaining are noted.
Zoom – we inspect both manual and power zoom work smoothly. Any issues are noted.
Focus – we check that manual focus is smooth and works well. If automatic focus is included as a feature that is also checked.
Motor / Claw – we check that the motor runs smoothly at all advertised speeds and that the film claw has sufficient torque to advance film.
Filmgate – this is inspected and any dirt or hair is removed.
Lightmeter – the lightmeter is inspected to ensure it automatically reacts correctly to light. Manual aperture control and/or backlight is also checked if included as a feature.
Viewfinder – we inspect for mould, dust and haze or damage. Where possible we clean/remove any imperfections – any remaining is noted.
Battery terminals – we inspect for rust/corrosion, cleaning and repairing where needed.
Body – where possible we clean any imperfections. Any remaining cosmetic damage is noted.
Additional Features – all additional model specific features (such as timelapse or crossfade) are checked for functionality.

The camera is in great condition! Ben was super helpful with finding the best Bolex as a gift for my partner and was so patient with my questions! I highly recommend this store and will definitely continue ordering from them in the future.

I can’t thank you enough for your website and the service you provide, I went through three super 8 cameras in this project, including one sold as ‘checked, repaired, CLA’d’, and the one I purchased from you was the only one that worked, and it worked flawlessly! I recommend cameracrate.com to everyone that asks me about the film, absolute mvp!

Came quickly in great condition. Just got my first batch of scans back shot on it and they look amazing. Very happy customer indeed!

Received the item much sooner than expected. It was very well packaged and when opened worked perfectly.

I hadn't noticed that the seller was in the UK until after the purchase, so when it showed up on my doorstep just a couple days later, I was floored. Great service, great descriptions, and fantastic packaging for international shipments.

Ben was so helpful in both picking a camera that suited me and in shipping when things got delayed! I will for sure be one to recommend this shop and come here again for more gear in the future. I am so excited about my purchase and it looks great!!

Camera was packaged so so well, it probably could’ve been chucked out a car and it wouldn’t have had any damage. Delivery was extremely quick and it looks in great condition. Seller was excellent and would recommend buying from.

Amazing customer service. Bought for a Christmas present. The seller made sure to message me all information about the camera in case I didn’t read the description. Also let me know when the camera was going to be dispatched. Would definitely buy from this shop again. Amazing experience

Arrived two days earlier than predicted. Excellent packaging and delivered safely. Perfect looking lens.

Great seller. Got the camera earlier than the planned delivery date. Thank You!

The seller has been to a good deal of trouble to ensure a safe delivery to the customer. This was a delicate item and all associated parts were individually packed in the container. Received with appreciation.
