I recently picked up an Elmo 8R-T 8mm camera. I'm assuming it's 8 mm. I'm 90 percent sure. It's not super 8, that much I'm sure of. I can't find any information on this camera. I'm assuming it never was officially sold outside of Japan. It has a 3 lenses on a turret, 1 38mm and the other two 13mm. Does anyone know anything about this camera?

I quote from John Wade's "Collector's Guide to Cine Cameras."

ELMO 8R-T :- c.1960. Double-8. Triple turret with Zunow 6.5mm, 13mm and 38mm f1.1 lenses. Mechanical exposure calculator on side of body.

Sorry, that is all there is.
