Does anyone know of this camera?

[Guy Meachin]

I have this CHINON 672 classic auto zoom super 8 movie camera and know almost nothing about it. Unfortunately the instructions have been lost. Is it a good camera? Baring in mind it cost a fiver!

 

How do I control the aperture or is it automatic - hopefully not.

 

Anything else you might know would be appreciated.

An excellent site for info on many different camera makes is: http://www.kolumbus.fi/puistot/list.htm

 

I haven't seen the Chinon you have but acording to the list it should have manual exposure control. I have found the Chinon's to be good cameras overall, definitely a keeper on your end.

I own the model right above this, the 806SM, and it is an excellent camera. If it works like mine does, it has automatic exposure as well as manual override.
