Story Summary
Elvis is known to have loved cameras of all kinds, capturing the adventure of his daily life. In early 1955 he bought a single lens Revere super 8mm, model 40. It was simple to use and had the fail-safe super 8 cartridge. This started the rich library of Elvis’ home movies from 1950s and 1960s.
Camera Description
Vintage Super 8mm movie camera by the Revere company of Chicago, IL. This model was their popular single barrel model 40 featuring solid aluminum body construction, interchangeable d-mount lens, variable view finder and extensive setting options. This was one of the company’s first super 8 cameras that provided the user the convenience of film sealed in a tight cartridge eliminating the need to find a dark closet to load and flip film like the standard 8mm cameras. This camera was introduced in 1951 and was popular throughout the 1950s.
