144 degree shutter
Footage Counter adds and subtracts accurately in forward or reverse motion and automatically returns to zero when film is reloaded into the camera.
Twin dial counts frames individually and in total; Adds frames in forward motion and subtracts when film is wound backwards. Dial may be reset manually at any time.
Time lapse and animation is possible by using the side release button or an accessory cable release and adapter; I-T lever allows for timed or instantaneous single exposures.
Clutch disengages spring motor and permits forward movement and backwind without running down the spring; allows for dissolves and superimposition.
Tripod Socket: 3/8″ thread.
Dimensions: 8 1/2″ x 6″ x 3″
Weight: Approximately 5 1/2 lbs

 

Good condition. Fully working. Minor marks from use.

The motor is slightly noisier than expected. Hasn’t been used for sometime so a good clean and lubrication might improve that. There is slight haze and dust in the viewfinder that could also be cleaned if needbe. The rubber eyecup is very worn with a split around one side, but still able to be used.

Single tooth sprocket takes both single and double perforated film. Includes an empty take-up spool.

Includes Som Berthiot f2.1 20-100mm Zoom M Telephoto C-mount lens. The lens focusses from 1.8m to infinity. Looks very clean and practically dust free inside. There is a patch of fungus on the outer edge of the front lens element (can be seen in picture 1) which doesn’t seem to affect its use. There are minor marks on the casing due to use and age.
Despatched in secure packaging with fully insured carrier.
