A Reflex 35-Mm Magazine Motion Picture Camera

Andre Coutant, Jacques Mathot, Benjamin Berg

A new portable professional 35-mm motion picture camera has been recently introduced into this country from France, embodying the following characteristics: reflex shutter, adjustable from 200° to 40° (viewing is through the taking lens at all times); instantaneous loading of 400- or 100-ft magazines; divergent three-lens turret permitting use of 24- to 500-mm lenses without interference; interchangeable 6- or 8-volt electric motor, hand or spring drive; double pull-down ratchet movement with unique system of pressure pads and spring tensions to insure steadiness. The exterior shape of the camera is designed to fit the body, thus insuring steady hand held operation. The flat base of the camera is made to fit the rapid mounting dovetail of the tripod head.
