The Super 8 magazine developed by Eastman Kodak was a revolution in 8mm movie cameras because of its easy film loading. However, it could not satisfy requirements from professional photographers, who demanded Kodachrome film for conventional regular 8. Kodak introduced double-width 100-ft. (200-ft. for back and forth) Super 8 film on a reel for professional use under the name DS-8.
The Zoom DS-8, developed to adapt to this new film, used the outer design of the 16mm Canon Scoopic camera for journalistic use, which had an ideal human-engineering design. This model had the shape of the Scoopic, but the contents were totally new. Film transportation with sprockets, variable shutter opening angle, Servo EE were applied to this model, achieving a serious 8mm movie camera with full specifications and high durability for use in the media, academic and industrial fields.
The zoom lens was based on that of the Auto Zoom 814 Super 8 marketed in 1967.
