What it is

{"overview":"The Leicina 8S is a Double-8 cine camera introduced by Leitz at Photokina in 1960 as the first model in the Leicina line. With only one wholesale saleroom price recorded, it is not possible to give a reliable view of what a Leicina 8S is worth or what one typically sells for, though the figure suggests modest value at auction level rather than collector premiums.","buying_guide":"Inspect the electric film drive for smooth running at the rated 16 frames per second, and check that the automatic exposure system responds to changing light. Confirm the reflex viewfinder is clear and that the dioptre correction eyepiece functions, and look for the swinging forehead rest bar and folding hand grip with release trigger.
