AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Offered for the connoisseur and collector of historic cameras: a beautiful and extremely rare Lumière Eljy miniature camera. This iconic French little masterpiece is produced by the legendary firm Lumière & Cie, founded by the pioneers of cinematography: the Lumière brothers. The Eljy is known as one of the very first subminiature cameras to combine the large 24x36mm image format with an incredibly compact, pocket-sized housing. An absolute milestone in camera history and a jewel for any display case.
Key features & Highlights of this lot:
High-quality Lypar 1:4.5 Lens: This specific model is equipped with the sought-after and sharp Anastigmat "Lypar" 1:4.5 lens. An optical tour de force from that era, which distinguished Lumière from the competition.
Includes Original Lens Cap: The camera is supplied with the accompanying, rare black lens cap that has perfectly protected the valuable Lypar optics through the decades.
With Extra Film: As a unique addition, this lot includes an extra roll of film (30mm wide film). Because this film has not been regularly produced for a long time, it is a highly sought-after bonus for the collector!
Beautiful Mechanism: Featuring the iconic, fold-out pop-up viewfinder on top that opens and closes perfectly.
