CYCLOP GEN-1 -RUSSIA- amplificatore di luce residua per visione notturna. Movie camera

Residual light amplifier from Russia CYCLOP GEN-1, The viewer works with a 9 V battery,
in working condition (see photo).
Produced, among others, by Rostov Optical-Mechanical Plant (ROMZ)

The original lens is a 1.5/85 mm with a Praktica threaded mount (M42).



Very special portraits with a "swirling bokeh" effect and limited depth of field are possible. Examples can be found online.

The M42 mount can be easily used on modern cameras via an adapter.
n.b. the instrument comes with accessories whose use I don't know but which I will ship together, leather bag will be shipped together, batteries not included
I don't know and can't test the additional illumination of the instrument's handle.
By holding down the side button on the visor and focusing the lens, you can see far away in the dark, the objects in the frame appear green.
It cannot be used in sunlight as it may damage the visor.
