Kodak Instamatic M22 Movie Camera

Kodak instamatic M22 movie camera in original packaging with instructions. Eastman Kodak Co. For Super 8 film in cartridge; Kodak Ektanar lens F:14mm f/2.7; electric motor drive; direct vision optical finder; integral fold-down pistol grip. 1970.

Launched in May 1965 by Eastman Kodak at that year's International Photo Exposition, Super 8 film comes in plastic light-proof cartridges containing coaxial supply and take-up spools loaded with 50 feet (15 m) of film. This is enough film for 2.5 minutes at the professional motion picture standard of 24 frames per second, and for 3.33 minutes of continuous filming at 18 frames per second for amateur use.

The Super 8mm format was cheaper and more convenient than previous formats as the cartridge was easier to load than threading the film as before. Most Super8 cameras had battery-powered motors, eliminating the need to wind a spring-driven transport.

Super8 film is 8mm wide, the same as older formatted 8mm film, but the dimensions of the perforations along one edge are smaller, which allows for a greater image area.
