The super-8 film gauge was born with high speed lenses, f 1.0, in both Kodak and Fuji projectors. But they were with fixed focal. The first f 1.0 zoom was European, from the legendary Austrian projector factory Eumig, the famous Suprovar f 1.0 18-28mm. Its quality was exceptional, considering that it was calculated with pen and paper: at that time there were no computers.
Over the years, the Suprovar 1.0 zoom would be outperformed by other varifocal f 1.0 lenses from other manufacturers, such as Canon, Fuji, Sankyo and, above all, Elmo (designed and manufactured by Kowa).
But the Suprovar f 1.0 18-28mm holds a special place in the world of Super-8 film. For this reason, our friend Luigi Petrin has adapted a Fumeo 9119 (the version with micrometrical focusing) so that it can accept this historical zoom lens: Italian and Austrian technology, hand in hand!, in search of excellence for the Super-8
