Canon 814XLS Super 8 Film Camera Hire / Rentals.

One of the most elegant professional super 8 film cameras ever nade by canon, the beautiful

black body Canon 814XLS can be said to be equal to a house brick for it's solid reassuring

steadying weight of just over 2 kilograms, not a lightweight to lug around on your shoulder all

day.

The Canon 814XLS boasts some of the best features and has always been highly sought after and rare to find in pristine working order. The 814XLS easily earned it's reputation as one of the best cameras on the market in it's league, competing with Boli's and Agi's and other fine camera makes.

Canon 814 XLS offers some pricipal wanted features such as:

Two shutter speeds so you can shoot in most any light conditions and not worry if you have the right film speed as the shutter options provide the ability to shoot high speed or btight light and also handle low light conditions due to the remarkable shutter mechanism.

The shutter varies between 150 degrees and 220 degrees. This is a big help if you happen to use TRI-X film for soft, low-light shooting and then you want to expose it on a bright sunny day. With the two shutter settings, you have little chance of being caught with the wrong film on hand.

You have at your disposal a single camera that can shoot equally well indoors and out at the local race track during the day. Images in both scenarios should be pretty fantastic if you set the shutter correctly. Also, the camera has a dial to compensate for ASA settings. Very handy with the filmstocks from Kodak like Ektachrome 100d ASA and Plus-X B&W film, Ektachrome E64T is a popular film medium for this type of camera.
