Rare Nizo Heliomatic 8 Reflex "Trifo" 8mm Cine Camera - Case & Manual

Description: This beautiful Nizo Heliomatic 8 Reflex is a magnificently engineered Standard 8mm (Double 8) cine camera. This beast of a camera is highly regarded for its robust die-cast aluminium build, unique industrial style, and advanced mechanical features. It's a highly collectable piece of German analogue engineering, often affectionately nicknamed the "Trifo" by collectors due to its iconic triple-lens setup. This is the premium, through-the-lens Reflex version of the Heliomatic lineup, with the distinctive, vertical slide-rail turret system. Produced around 1959–1960.

Condition: In need of attention. Mechanically: The clockwork spring motor winds smoothly and triggers. The grey hammer-tone crinkle paint finish is well-preserved, and the large red "Nizo Heliomatic 8 Reflex" side badge is intact. Optically: The triple-lens glass is intact, but shows some mould and fungus to the eye.

Comes with the original Nizo Heavy leather carrying case and the original manual.
