8mm See It / Cabena Test shows a man standing on a fire escape followed by a woman walking back and forth inside what looks like a store (possibly of photography equipment). As the title indicates, JoAnn Elam might have been doing some tests for a project she was working on. Elam might also have been testing her camera, a CARENA Zoomex 8mm, which she had possibly acquired around that time. “Cabena” from the title could therefore be a misspelling of the camera brand Elam was using. Another element from the collection is also titled 8mm See It, but the connection between the two remains unclear.
