This piece is taken from Classic Camera Magazine number 20, and is provided to try to demonstrate the style of the magazine. Note that the original article is illustrated, but in order to keep download times to a minimum, I have omitted the illustrations from this version. In 1968 a new, Japanese, cine camera was introduced for the professional user, and the very enthusiastic amateur using 16mm film. Its specification in this format was similar to the 16 mm. The Canon Scoopic 16 is fitted with a fixed 13 mm.
Single frame is set using a separate control.
The camera is semi-automatic in loading, and takes normal 100 ft. spools. The reflex focusing has a micro-prism rangefinder. I have found no price for this camera. In 1974, another version of the camera came out, with no fade or dissolve controls. The lens is a 12.5 mm.
