GeorgeSelinsky Posted March 2, 2004 Share Posted March 2, 2004 I was just crusing around doing one of my favorite pasttimes, looking at old cameras, and I found what appears to be one of the first 35mm cameras made by Arri in 1925.... I'd love to show up with that to the set one day, it looks way more awesome than anything out there today, film or digital. - G. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeorgeSelinsky Posted March 2, 2004 Author Share Posted March 2, 2004 Come on, work imbedded image. Anyway, http://www.xs4all.nl/~wichm/kinarri.jpg Cut and paste. It's worthwhile I think.

GeorgeSelinsky Posted March 2, 2004 Author Share Posted March 2, 2004 ...and while we're at it, although it's not 35mm only... http://www.movie-camera.com/bolseye.html Now you can wonder where JVC got their design from for their smallest line of mini DV cams <_< - G.

Premium Member David Mullen ASC Posted March 26, 2004 Premium Member Share Posted March 26, 2004 Looks like an Akeley -- maybe they ripped off Akeley's design. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marty Hamrick Posted March 29, 2004 Share Posted March 29, 2004 Here's one I'd love to own. You want to feel really sick?I had an old boss,owner of the film lab I worked back in the late 70's,actually owned that very model camera.He was about 75 then,he was a news rell shooter back in the 30's and 40's,used one of those as well as Bell and Howell Eyemo. He suffered Alzheimer's Disease after the lab closed and he retired.All of his old equipment was swallowed up and sold for next to nothing,have no idea what became of his old cameras.

George,is that camera a reflex?I don't see a separate VF. Marty Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeorgeSelinsky Posted March 29, 2004 Author Share Posted March 29, 2004 Most definitely not, this was before they invented the reflex shutter, which was sometime in the thirties if I'm not mistaken. This camera goes back to 1925. I just love its shape, like a cookie tin. Probably weighed much more I imagine :blink: - G. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now that you mention it,I think the book,The Light on Her Face mentions that.It was sometime before sound that a German company,not Arriflex came up with a prototype of a spinning mirror shutter camera.It didn't catch on at the time.
