\"This cine camera, presented at a time of great excitement for the german film activity and on the eve of the famous Berlin Olympics, immortalized in the famous film by Helene Riefenstahl, was an all metal little jewel built with precision and mechanical tolerances typical of the Zeiss Ikon golden age; among it\'s characteristics we find the spring-driven motor with broad autonomy, starting with self-timer, 4 shooting rates from 12 to 64 fps, 4 shutter aperture angles from 180° to 30°, programmable sequences, direct and 90° angled with prism viewfinders, single frame shot, hole finder for direct focusing on the focal plane, crank for fades and Carl Zeiss Jena interchangeable lenses, rangefinder coupled with automatic parallax correction; among the most important accessories there are a magnificent, multi-focal turrel finder and a range of optics, with bayonet mount, including the rare Topogon 1,3cm f/3,5, the Tessar 2cm f/2,7, the very fast Sonnar 2,5cm f/1,4, the Sonnar 5cm f/2,8, the Sonnar 7,5 cm f/44 and the Tele-Tessar 18cm f/6,3 (the latter uncoupled)The Carl Zeiss Jena Sonnar 2,5cm f/1,4,on the 16mm film format, covers an angle of about 30°, corresponding to the classic standard cine lens; this exemplar appears to be the 493° of a batch of 500 units produced in April 1935 and it is therefore one of the first Sonnars of this kind produced for the Movikon 16; obviously it lacks lenses coating (a specific hood was provided, shown in the image above) and its almost round iris closes from f/1,4 to f/22: the large maximum aperture, excellent for the time, combined with the minimum shutter speed of 1/25\" allowed by the 12 fps frame rate with shutter set to 180°, allowed to operate even in dim light. \"and more from \" \"Shipping rates vary widely by country, even neighbouring countries.
