The Story Of The World's Finest 16mm Movie Camera (Hardcover)
Dual-purpose camera
- The Cine-Kodak Special was advanced for its time and intended for both amateur filmmaking and professional, non-theatrical use.
16mm film format
- It used the 16mm film format, which was introduced by Kodak in 1923. This format was less expensive and more portable than the professional 35mm film stock of the time.
Non-combustible film
- The 16mm film used in the camera was made of acetate plastic, a non-flammable "safety film," unlike the highly flammable nitrate-based 35mm film.
Camera details
- The booklet likely contains product details and black-and-white photos of the Cine-Kodak Special and its parts.
