Pre-Owned CamerZ ZII Long Roll Twin Lens Camera w/Hard Case & Film Magazine
The Camerz ZII is a vintage, heavy-duty SLR long-roll camera widely used by school and portrait photographers in the 20th century. It runs on 100-foot spools of 70mm film, allowing for up to 700 exposures before needing to reload.
Key Features of the ZII Kit Film Magazine:
Usually a removable 100-foot cassette that advances automatically. This allows photographers to easily detach and process portions of the roll before shooting the entire length.
Lens: Kits frequently feature a high-quality zoom—such as the Computar Camerz 75 mm - 150 mm f/4.5—which allows for easy framing adjustment without having to move the heavy camera base.
Format: Designed to yield roughly 6 × 4.5 cm or 6 × 9 cm exposures in portrait orientation ("split 70"), perfect for individual or class portraits.
Accessories: The original hard case protects the bulky metal camera and its sensitive film magazines during transport.
Important Considerations Usage: Because they were built for volume studio or school photography, they are very heavy (often referred to as "boat anchors").
Workflow: Operating this camera requires access to 70mm film stock and specialized long-roll developing equipment.
