Description from the seller
here is a fascinating Agfa 16mm cine camera, a true jewel of German engineering from the 1930s that represents a piece of amateur cinematography history. this exemplar stands out for its robust and compact design, featuring a metal body coated in black leather which, despite its age, retains undeniable charm and a solid aesthetic presence.
the camera is fitted with a high-quality lens, typical of Agfa production of the era, probably a kine anastigmat with a fixed focal length that ensured sharp footage by the standards of the time. the operating mechanism is spring-driven, cocked via the characteristic side key, a detail that evokes the tactile and mechanical experience of pure analog shooting.
observing the general condition based on the provided images, the item appears to be in a modest state of preservation with signs of use compatible with its almost centenary existence; the leather covering shows a patina that enhances its collectible value. mechanically, the motor and wind movements appear complete, suggesting the machine may still be functional or easily restorable for enthusiasts.
ideal for collectors of vintage cameras or as a refined industrial design element to decorate studios and vintage environments, this 16mm cine camera is not only a technical instrument but a silent witness to an era when making cinema was a mechanical art. refer to the technical sheet in the images for details on the verified features.
