@rzeta0 If you websearch for, say, "kodak KR12 filter", you will get hits on filters for cameras. As an optical designer, I am boggled by the "30 cm" and "100 cm" labels, though. Those may be focal lengths of lenses that can be inserted to change the focal length of the lens stack.

The Eumig Servomatic is '60s vintage Standard 8mm cine camera. I only know this because I own one (inherited from my Father). I assume you've got a bunch of filters for various occasions for such a device. I didn't know such things existed!

Maybe she'll come across the original camera too?

Indeed. It's what people had before 'video cameras'. When they'd exposed a whole reel of film (50 feet = a few minutes) they would send it off to Kodak (or whoever) and a few days later the developed version would magically arrive in the post and they would 'play it back' on one of these...

Some cameras, you had to split the developed film too. 8mm camera that took 16mm film, you'd flip the film over after it ran through once and shoot on both sides.

Ah yes, I'd forgotten that bit. I can remember Dad doing that.
Basically the same principle as as compact audio cassettes.
