The 801 Macro is the definitive Nizo Super 8 camera for serious Super 8 filmmakers, combining the widest zoom range and macro capability with the most refined construction. It is the most sought-after and typically most expensive Nizo Super 8 model. Super 8 film is currently available from Kodak and specialty suppliers.
Test all functions including macro mode, zoom range, and exposure meter response. Verify the precision motor runs consistently at standard (18fps and 24fps) speeds. Inspect the zoom lens for fungus and haze. Check battery contacts carefully — corrosion is common on cameras stored for decades.
