Until this model was launched, Canon’s projectors were exclusively made for the Regular 8 format. The new P-8 CINESTAR S, however, was designed to be compatible with the new Super8/Single 8 system. Switching between Regular 8 and Super 8/Single 8 was made possible by replacing the aperture unit.
Canon’s high-performance interchangeable lens, HiFi P-8 20mm f/1.5, was also available as an option.
