📄Camera information:
Eastman Kodak Company announced its XL system in 1971. This system improved part of the camera mechanism to increase the volume of light reaching the film surface. It also made it possible to shoot in low light with high-speed film. "XL" stood for "Existing Light". Canon developed a new XL shutter mechanism with a 220-degree shutter aperture and low noise, as well as a new 3x f/1.0 zoom lens, which was considered the lens with the best performance, even at full aperture, for the XL system at the time.

The Canon 310XL was a sister model to the 514XL that was developed during the same period. Both models shared the same body base. To reduce costs, this model received an external metering system and the self-timer function was omitted. The main feature of this model was the world's fastest lens speed (at the time) of f/1.0, with a 3x zoom. Macro shooting was possible up to a distance of 215mm from the film plane when the zoom lever was set to "Macro".

The Canon 310XL is a versatile super 8 camera. This small and flexible camera fits in your pocket and can be used in many different situations: weddings, sports, art projects, vacations, and much more. Suitable for low light conditions and a very fast zoom lens. This camera is still a popular option for beginning and advanced filmmakers.
