Out of stock

The Sankyo CM880 Super 8 Camera is one of our most popular cameras and is ideal for intermediate users who require a durable camera with a massive zoom range that’s simple to use whilst giving good results. 

This camera features a huge 8x zoom lens with smooth, manual focusing alongside the choice of manual or power zoom. In addition to 18fps shooting, the Sankyo CM880 Super 8 Camera also features 36fps slow motion recording.

In addition to manual exposure control it also can automatically expose the following film stocks:

  • Kodak Vision3 50D Super 8 Film (great for using outdoors on bright, sunny days)
  • Kodak Ektachrome 100D Super 8 Film  (great for using outdoors on bright, sunny days)
  • Kodak Vision3 200T Super 8 Film (use outdoors on overcast days or indoors with plenty of light)
  • Kodak Tri-X Black & White Super 8 Film (suitable for shooting indoors and outdoors with good light).

The Sankyo CM880 super 8 camera is the top model in the CM series. If you require something a little more compact, consider the Sankyo CM300 (3x zoom). Sankyo CM400 (4x zoom) or the Sankyo CM600 (6x zoom).

If you’re looking for a similar model with macro focusing, consider the Sankyo MF range which are otherwise identical to the CM range. There is the MF-303 (3x zoom), MF-404 (4x zoom) and MF-606 (6x zoom).

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

  1. Lens - we check for any mould, dust, haze, dirt, cracks and air bubbles. Where possible we clean/remove any imperfections – any remaining are noted.
  2. Zoom – we inspect both manual and power zoom work smoothly. Any issues are noted.
  3. Focus – we check that manual focus is smooth and works well. If automatic focus is included as a feature that is also checked.
  4. Motor / Claw – we check that the motor runs smoothly at all advertised speeds and that the film claw has sufficient torque to advance film.
  5. Filmgate – this is inspected and any dirt or hair is removed.
  6. 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.
  7. Viewfinder – we inspect for mould, dust and haze or damage. Where possible we clean/remove any imperfections – any remaining is noted.
  8. Battery terminals - we inspect for rust/corrosion, cleaning and repairing where needed.
  9. Body – where possible we clean any imperfections. Any remaining cosmetic damage is noted.
  10. Additional Features – all additional model specific features (such as timelapse or crossfade) are checked for functionality.

Unless specifically mentioned in the product description, all items sold through our website have passed the above inspection and are fully working. With thousands of sales under our belt and 3000+ positive reviews our customers have found that our inspections are comprehensive and correctly reflect the condition of the camera. In the unlikely case that there is an issue, we offer a full 60 day warranty – allowing you plenty of time to check the camera yourself.
