It is a Eumig C3R 'Continental' - from Circa 1958.
This is a 'clockwork' silent movie camera, with rotatable lens turret - giving you the ability to rotate in a wide angle or telephoto lens to suit each shot. Each lens has an adapter that sits in front of the optical viewfinder, giving you the correct field of view each time.
Per the manuals - Lens optics are:
Eumigon 1:1.9, 12.5mm,
Eumacro 2.0 x
Eumicron 0.5x
However my 2x and 0.5x are different, and appear to be fixed focus lenses made by Unimark - anyone any ideas on this??
It's built like a tank, and as far as I can tell, it still works - it winds and runs like it's new 8)
It has manual aperture adjustment via a sliding lever next to the main lens, and a full time 'electric eye' light meter in the viewfinder for accurate exposure - the meter appears to be working, but I've yet to test it against a modern meter.
It came with a case, manuals, and 2 unopened rolls of Kodak 8mm film (expiry date May 1971)
Princely sum of $50 to me :mrgreen:
When launched, this camera cost £84 17s. 3d 8O
I just love the retro look and feel - and it reminds me so much of the later Eumig model my granddad used, and later gave to me.
Any help on the Unimark lens variant much appreciated.
Chris.
