Please note that if your camera requires repairs we would contact you with an additional quote for your repair. Please contact us to initiate your yearly service before sending in your camera.

Film (OPTION): Includes one Ektachrome II, or AGFA, or Ektachrome 160, or other vintage film stock >>>For testing purposes ONLY<<< This item may be in original box or it may be already opened and some of it exposed (once again... this is for TESTING PURPOSES ONLY, it is NOT MEANT for actually shooting with it as it cannot be developed), this is offered ONLY so that you may test film advance and other camera functions without wasting a $50 modern film)
For modern film (which we also sell) visit www.monsterflipsusa.com
1.4X Tele Converter (OPTION): this extender/tele increases the effective focal length of your lens giving you an extra 40% "reach". Both the Canon 310XL and 514XL have incredibly fast lenses, and thus can handle this tele without any issues, simply keep in mind that this 1.4x tele will decrease the amount of light that gets in for about 1 stop.
During checkout "ALL OPTIONS" refers to: Cap, Bag, Downloadable Instructions Manual, and 1 Year Service. You may add either Modern Film, a 1.4X Tele, or a C-8 Wide attachment (in the last three options). We added a "SPECIAL" selection which includes both lenses. Or if you need all contact me.
NOTE 1: IF you don't see an item in the drop-down options it is likely it is out of stock, simply select any of the other available options.
NOTE 2: if you select Modern Film, we will not send vintage film. If you want/need both let us know BEFORE checkout (send us a message)
