Description: ITEM SPECIFICS: The camera is in excellent condition overall, with a few signs of wear from normal use. The leather texture is slightly lifted in two places, and the bottom has typical wear marks from where the handle mounts - all shown in the photos. The battery was removed before storage, so the battery compartment is clean. I meticulously cleaned everything in the camera bag/kit. The rest of the camera & all of the accessories are in great shape! The lens & all accessories are clean, and no signs of mold or fog. I have no way of actually testing the unit, but all parts seem to be moving freely. This is an original camera & has not been modified - a perfect candidate if you're looking to build a Super-16 or Ultra-16 for your collection! The original leather bag is solid, although showing signs of wear & age. Some of the rivets on the bag have surface rust, but these are not present on the inside of the bag. The bag clasps appear to be a different type of metal and are clean. The bag has the typical old leather/vintage smell, but is very mild. More details included below from Wikipedia, but there's a lot of info available for this camera (search for "Krasnogorsk-3" or "Krasnogorsky K-3"). I've never used one of these, personally, but if you have any questions, please contact me before bidding! Item has been measured & weighed - buyer pays actual shipping cost for chosen method. Local pick-up does not pay shipping. Thanks for stopping by! Includes:- K-3 Camera Body w/ 17-69mm f1.9 Precision Zenit Lens- Pistol Grip Handle w/ Shoulder Brace- Various lens filters (see photos)- Lens hood (see photo w/ filters)- Original Leather Shoulder Strap- Leather Case/Bag GENERAL CAMERA DESCRIPTION: Krasnogorsk-3 (From Wikipedia) History The Krasnogorsk-3 (Красногорск-3) is a spring-wound 16mm mirror-reflex movie camera designed and manufactured in the USSR by KMZ. A total of 105,435 Krasnogorsk-3 cameras were produced between 1971 and 1993.It was one of the most popular 16mm movie cameras in Eastern Europe, where it made a prominent appearance in Krzysztof Kieślowski's 1979 film Camera Buff, and continues to enjoy considerable popularity in the West. Director Spike Lee shot parts of his film Get on the Bus with a Krasnogorsk-3. Technical information The Krasnogorsk-3 uses standard 100-foot (30 m) load of 16mm film (single or double-perforation). There is no provision for an external magazine. There are two different lens mounts used on the Krasnogorsk-3: the M42×1 lens mount, and a Russian bayonet mount. The stock lens is the f/1.9 17–69 mm zoom lens Meteor-5-1, considered by many to be a quality optic. The M42 screw-mount allows for the use of widely available lenses from 35 mm still cameras such as Asahi Pentax Takumar lenses. Cameras which have been modified from the original standard 16mm (double-perforation) to accept Super 16 (single-perforation) film may experience vignetting at the widest zoom setting with stock Meteor lenses. The camera has a single pulldown claw and no registration pin. At 24 frame/s, the Krasnogorsk-3 will run for about 25 seconds on a full wind. Film speed is adjustable from 8 frame/s to 48 frame/s; however, many cameras are capable of functioning at higher frame rates (upwards of 60 fps) if the adjusting dial is turned beyond the 48 fps indicating mark. A single-frame release at the back of the Krasnogorsk-3 allows for animation and other single-frame applications. The PX640 battery required to power the internal light meter is no longer sold due to its mercury content. Using an alkaline replacement will not give accurate results due to the differing voltage and discharge slope of alkaline cells. However, a zinc–air battery will function properly with an appropriate adapter.
