Premium Member Gregg MacPherson Posted Wednesday at 03:36 AM Premium Member Share Posted Wednesday at 03:36 AM (edited) Three interesting old motion picture cameras in this tableau snipped from Churchill at War (52:33). Simon will know them all well. The lighter one on the right held in front of one's face, the others jammed into one's chest below the clavicle bone. Just a little higher, with a redesigned viewfinder, and one could sit it on one's shoulder. I'm sure that one or two design engineers in 1940 would have doodled a new camera with reconfigured eyepiece and mass distribution. The 35BL or Aaton 35, in their simplest sense, do not seem a huge step, but they took a while to happen. But I guess 16mm happened first.

Premium Member Simon Wyss Posted Wednesday at 06:46 AM Premium Member Share Posted Wednesday at 06:46 AM Farthest left is a Le Blay, very awkward. Next, in the hands of the smoker, a Graflex. I think to see Horseman press cameras. Then we have a Newman & Sinclair Auto and to the right an Eyemo 71-C. See Jean-Pierre Beauviala demonstrate the use of the Cinex of Bourdereau: From Renoir’s La bête humaine, 1938: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
