The Chinon XL 555 Macro is a vintage Super 8 cine camera from the late 1970s, known for its excellent low-light capabilities and a versatile macro focus feature. It is a silent film camera that runs on standard AA batteries.
Specifications:
- Lens: It has a fast Chinon Reflex Zoom f/1.2 lens with a focal length of 8–40mm and a 5x zoom ratio.
