front, top and bottom view of an unusual movie camera
Toronto. The other day Les Jones dropped me a note about a strange movie camera. Was it used to take movies? Or to take a shot one frame at a time with enough room for hundreds of shots on a reel of film?
Les augments the photos by saying, “Wondered if anyone can provide any info on this unusual movie camera? I cannot find any info on line: Ansco 16mm film reel, Tessar f2.7, 1.5cm lens, weighs over 6 lb, metal body.
The sturdy construction suggests it was intended for industrial use. Please drop me a note if you have a suggestion, or even better, a make/model number and/or intended use. Use the info@phsc.ca address and I can send your ideas on to Les.
