The film compartment is very clean and the lens optics look clean and clear under normal light, without major scratches. The styrofoam box shows typical vintage wear but still holds the kit safely. The mechanisms appear to be functional and the battery compartment is intact, but the camera has not been tested with real film. It is sold as-is, for collection, display or restoration.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eAbout This Piece\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Quarz line was the Soviet answer to the home movie boom of the 1970s and 1980s, using the 8 mm Super 8 cartridge format. A set that still has its serial-matched passport and box is more complete than most. It will appeal to film enthusiasts, collectors of Soviet cameras and anyone who likes the sculptural, utilitarian look of late Soviet design.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhat's Included\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eQuarz 1x8S-2 movie camera with pistol grip\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMeteor-8M-1 1.8\/9-38 zoom lens (attached)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOriginal factory passport \/ technical manual with matching serial numbers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOriginal instructional brochure\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSet of 4 screw-in optical filters and a rubber lens hood\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMechanical cable release\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOriginal vintage styrofoam protective box\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eShipping\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eCarefully packed and shipped worldwide from Ukraine with a tracking number.
