Eumig C3 Movie Camera c. 1955

Details

A spectacular 1950s 8mm (Double 8) clockwork movie camera manufactured in Vienna, Austria, by the renowned Eumig company. This landmark C3 model features a distinctive multi-lens front setup equipped with its original conversion attachments: the Eumig Eumicron 0.5x wide-angle lens and the Eumig Eumakro 2x telephoto lens. Built with a heavy-duty hammer-tone grey-green enameled aluminum body, top carrying handle, fold-out side winding key, and precision mechanical controls. Interestingly, the Eumig C3 series revolutionized home movie making in post-war Europe by introducing the "Servomatic" system, which mechanically linked the diaphragm to the exposure meter. Displays fantastic cosmetic condition with authentic age-appropriate patina, offered as an untested historical display piece. A remarkable mid-century Austrian industrial design statement for cine camera collectors and upscale vintage decor.
