Canon AF310XL Super 8 Movie Camera
The Canon AF310XL is one of the finest compact Super 8 cameras ever produced, combining autofocus, an exceptionally fast f/1.0 Canon zoom lens, and Canon's renowned XL (Existing Light) technology for outstanding low-light performance. Introduced in the early 1980s, it remains a favourite among filmmakers looking for the unmistakable character of Super 8 film in a lightweight, easy-to-use package.
Its Canon 8.5–25.5mm f/1.0 lens was one of the fastest ever fitted to a Super 8 camera, making it ideal for shooting indoors, at dusk, or in naturally lit environments. The autofocus system simplifies operation, while through-the-lens metering automatically delivers accurate exposure with modern Super 8 film stocks. Compact enough to carry anywhere, the AF310XL is perfect for documentary filmmaking, travel, music videos, and creative experimental projects.
