Magazine Cine-Kodak Eight Model 90 Camera

About the Camera:

The Magazine Cine-Kodak 8 is a clockwork-driven camera that runs at 16, 26, 32, and 64 frames per-second. It was a magazine-loading camera that took cartridges instead of spools. 

It usually included a 25mm f/1.9-f/16. Other lenses could be used and the viewfinder (built into the grip) could also be altered in regards to the lengh of lens used by adjusting the wheel at the top of the camera. Lense sizes included various focal lengths between 15 and 152 mm. Inside the case it came with a 15mm f/2,7 Anastigmat lens and a 4 1/2 (about 115mm) f/4,5 Telephoto lens. The previous model - the Cine-Kodak, was the first 16mm camera, and was introduced in 1923.

Weight is 1,200 kg, and it measures 46x105x185 cm.

Value:

These cameras were manufactured by Kodak during the 1940's up until 1955. They tend to sell for anywhere from around $10-$100.

The upper end prices are usually paid by collectors when the camera includes things such as additional lenses (13mm, 25mm, 38mm), the focus finder, adapter rings, polarizer, original manual/documentation, original case, etc. in mint condition.

Hope this helps you.

I've come across two of these over the years. One I had from my father and another that I purchased at the Rose Bowl swapmeet for $25.00. I sold one of them about a year ago for $100 - it had all of the original pieces with it and had the case too.
