Ooes^Mfoit everything alone.. THE CINE-KODAK SPECIAL II CAMERA
(
:
\ ADJUSTABLE-OPENING SHUTTER, which
can be set at Open, Vi Open, % Open, or Closed — or moved throughout its full range while the camera is running— not only makes easy the taking of fades and dissolves, it also permits extraordinary exposure control. Set at its "Vi" position, for example, you can obtain 140th-of-a-second exposures even while shooting at 16 frames per second!
The basic camera, with a 100 or 200-foot interchangeable film chamber and an //1.4 or//1.9 Kodak Cine Ektar 25mm. Lens, is a precision mechanism with amazing versatility. Without a single accessory, the "Special II" does just about everything in movies . . . fades, dissolves, mask shots, double and multiple exposures, montages, animation. Yet, so ingenious is its design, so skillful its construction, this remarkable range is coupled with surprising operating ease. The angled turret takes any twolens combination of superb Kodak Cine Lenses without optical or physical interference, whatever the lens speed or focal length. A simple twist of the turret switches lenses in less than a second. The "Special IPs" reflex finder permits easy focusing and field framing through the lens. And the direct-view eye-level finder makes it easy to follow the fastest action. You can dial any one of five speeds (8 to 64 frames per second — or even shoot single frames), and the "Special's" powerful spring motor will expose 38 feet of film with one winding!
The controls illustrated below make possible this unparalleled camera versatility. Check their importance against your own movie-making aims — and if still greater scope is your objective, read across the page!
FOOTAGE METERS AND FRAME
COUNTER keep accurate tab on film progress, forward or backwqrd, right down to the individual frame! The Film Chamber meter (A) tells how much unexposed film is left on a roll. Footage meter (B) and frame counter (C) not only show film consumption, but, because they also function when film is being rewound, give you precise control over multiple exposures and dissolves.
\ ONE AND EIGHT-FRAME SHAFTS are operated by an interchangeable crank for forward or reverse film movement. The one-frame crank is essential for exact back winding when making double or multiple exposures. With the eight-frame crankshaft, which also operates forward or reverse for special effects, you can finish filming very long scenes even beyond the capacity of the "Special ll's" long-running spring motor.
MASKS are easily inserted into a slot in between lens m and film. The set of masks supplied with the camera makes it easy to obtain oval and circular subject framing, while other masks, used in conjunction with the "Special ll's" ability to wind back film, enable you to get such effects as multiple exposures and montages.
SINGLE-FRAME RELEASE is geared to the mo tor drive and gives uniform exposure to each individual film frame. It's an exact avenue to properly timed animation and unique title effects, makes it easy to speed up unusually slow motion.
