Movie Makers (Jan-Dec 1952)

bes it with accessories No matter what the horizon of your movie-making ambitions . . . whether it's to excel in the production of amateur movies, new ventures in scientific or medical photography, or commercial work . . . the Cine-Kodak Special II Camera will match you stride for stride. While the basic camera, as described on the opposite page, may well serve all of your needs at the outset, a complete range of accessories lends this camera still greater versatility for adaptation to a host of specialized uses. For the full story, see your Kodak dealer — or write Rochester for a copy of "16mm. Motion-Picture Making with the CineKodak Special II Camera." A COMPLETE LINE OF LENSES, including seven Kodak Cine Ektars— the finest lenses ever produced for 16mm. motion-picture cameras — is available for the "Special II." These lenses are so carefully designed that performance is outstanding at even the widest apertures, providing exceptional speed with no loss of quality. Every internal detail contributes its share to the reduction of flare ... to the transmission of the maximum of image-forming light. Lens rims are blackened, glass-air surfaces are Lumenized, mounts are corrugated. And their external features keep pace . . . for easy convenience and accuracy in adjustments. Aperture scales are widely and evenly spaced. Integral depth-of-field scales show the range of good focus at all openings. Evenly graduated distance scales permit remarkably accurate focusing. The Ektar Lenses, shown here (plus the fine-quality Ektanon Lenses also available), give the user of the Cine-Kodak Special II Camera a splendid opportunity for a selection well suited to his particular filming requirements. Included are: (Top row from left) 15mm. f/2.5 wide-angle iens; 25mm. f/1.4 standard lens; 25mm. f/1.9 standard lens. (Center right) 40mm. f/1.6 lens. (Lower row from left) 152mm. f/4.0 lens; the 102mm. f/2.7 lens; and the 63mm. f/2.0 lens. KODAK COMBINATION LENS ATTACHMENTS ^ make it simple to use filters or Pola-Screen with the "Special H's" standard or accessory lenses. REFLEX FINDER IMAGE MAGNIFIER does exactly that — making it possible for you to check, from the back of the camera, and viewed right side up, the through-the-lens framing and focus of every subject. (Fitting of this accessory to the "Special II" must be done at the factory.) OPTICAL FINDER has a graduated magnifying lens which can be adjusted to give you, from the back-of-the-camera, the field coverage of any Kodak Cine Lens in shooting position on the "Special II." It also corrects for parallax down to two feet! (This accessory, too, must be fitted to the camera at the factory.) CINE-KODAK LENS SPACER RINGS permit you to film minute subjects in extreme close-ups. They make possible coverage of fields as small as Vz inch wide and can be used with both standard and accessory lenses. OTHER ACCESSORIES FOR THE SPECIAL II CAMERA Besides the Kodak-made accessories shown on the upper half of this page, other accessories for special motion-picture techniques and problems are likewise available. We will supply names and addresses of their manufacturers on request. Electric Motor Drives (left, above) make possible continuous film exposure without periodic rewinding of the spring motor. Blimps to silence the camera when making synchronous sound recordings. Time-Lapse Outfits allow single-frame exposures at intervals varying from seconds to many minutes, valuable for growth studies and scientific and technical research. Matte Boxes provide a mask-and-filter holder in front of the camera lens, making possible a variety of further special effects. Cine Photomicrographic Equipment assures the exact filming of microscopic studies by permitting eyepiece observation of focus and subject while camera is running.
