Vintage Mansfield Holiday Meter-matic 8mm Movie Camera

Up for sale is a classic Mansfield Holiday Meter-matic 8mm spring-wound movie camera from around 1960. Made in Japan for Mansfield Industries, this is a solid mid-century home movie camera with a three-lens turret and built-in light meter. Features: • Three-lens turret: Standard Mansfield Cinepar f/1.8 13mm, Raydex Wide Angle auxiliary, and Gruenex Telephoto auxiliary • Built-in selenium light meter • Optical viewfinder • Pistol grip included • Side exposure / nearest distance guide chart • Spring-wound motor (no batteries required) • Dual 25-ft spool loading • Tripod mount and single-frame capability Condition: This camera is in good overall vintage condition. The body shows light scuffs, dust, and normal age-related wear consistent with a 60+ year-old camera. Lenses have their original black caps. The film compartment is clean. The pistol grip is present and attaches properly. All controls and the turret appear intact and move smoothly. The camera has not been tested with film, so it is sold as-is with no guarantees on full mechanical function (common for these vintage 8mm cameras). Great for display, prop use, or a film hobbyist willing to service it. A nice complete example of these popular Japanese-made Mansfield turret cameras. Ready for a new home with collectors of vintage cine gear or mid-century home movie equipment. Please review all photos carefully — they show the exact camera you will receive.
