Josh Poisson Posted December 17, 2022 Share Posted December 17, 2022 (edited) Hi everybody, Since few months, I'm currently working on my rental company for film equipment. I got some cameras and accessories for free by a guy who I work with, he had a production company few decades ago and a lot of his stuff was left unused. I found this viewfinder inside the case of the Arri IIC, but I don't think it belongs to it at all. He also had a Cameflex CM3 which the viewfinder doesn't belong to neither. Can someone here help me to identify for what camera this viewfinder is for ? Also if I don't need it I might sell it, what would be the value of this item ?Picture1Picture2Picture3Picture4 I also have this pieces in my Eclair CM3 kit that I don't know the utility :Picture5Picture6Picture7Picture8 I'll be thankful if you can help me identify this items ? Thanks ! Edited December 17, 2022 by Josh Poisson Pictures missing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marek Budzynski Posted December 17, 2022 Share Posted December 17, 2022 Don't think Picture 1 - 4 are for the Cameflex. It looks a bit like the parts to a collimator (incomplete). 5 and 6 are the case for the 16mm gate. 7 is a lens cap from a Kinoptik 8 No idea Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I asked an optical technician and he also said it might be from a collimator, I also have what seem to be called a "bore sight" where the viewfinder can attach, it's a plate with a kind of a ground glass with cross marking. I will post pictures soon. What can be the value of the collimator parts ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is corrosion on the metal spring holder but optics are ok.https://imgur.com/hDFYd53https://imgur.com/dunCTmthttps://imgur.com/yOZPIkrhttps://imgur.com/KhQHFYY Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marek Budzynski Posted December 21, 2022 Share Posted December 21, 2022 Don't think it's a collimator. It looks more like a bore sight for an Eclair Camematic high speed camera. Probably worth £100. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
