Description

Cinephon-Slechta BH-X II, c. 1948
Cinephon-Werke, Prague. Hand-held and tripod SLR camera for 35mm films in 60-meter cassettes, with 12-volt drive, 37-watt Cinephon motor and a full set of 3 lenses in the focusable turret: Carl Zeiss Jena Biotar 2/35 mm, Sonnar 1:2/50 mm and Sonnar 2/85 mm, electrical functions not tested. - In addition: 3 cassettes of 60 m each, sheet-metal compendium and original emergency case. - Note: The Cinephon-Werke in Prague (renamed Meopta during the communist era) was founded in the mid-1920s by the engineer Josef Slechta. Cinephon was one of the most important manufacturers of 35mm cameras from the silent and sound film eras in Europe until 1970. The BH-X II was the firm’s first post-war design. From 1939 to 1945, the Cinephon-Werke produced exclusively for the German Wehrmacht. The camera offered here comes from the property of Ceskoslovensk Statni-Film Prague. The camera is preserved in original, near-mint condition.

Cinephon-Slechta BH-X II, um 1948
Cinephon-Werke, Prag. Hand- und Stativkamera für 35mm-Filme in 60m-Kassetten. Vollständiger Satz der 3 Objektive im fokussierbaren Revolverkopf: Carl Zeiss Jena Biotar 2/35 mm, Sonnar 2/50 mm und Sonnar 2/85 mm. Suchersystem: Spiegelreflex. Antrieb: Cinephon-Motor 12 Volt, 37 Watt. - Dabei: 3 Kassetten à 60 m, Blechkompendium und Original-Bereitschaftskoffer. - Elektrische Funktionen nicht geprüft. - Die Cinephon-Werke in Prag (in der kommunistischen Zeit umbenannt in Meopta) wurden Mitte der zwanziger Jahre von dem Ingenieur Josef Slechta gegründet. Cinephon wurde einer der bedeutendsten Hersteller für 35mm-Kameras der Stumm- und Tonfilmzeit in Europa bis 1970. Die BH-X II war die erste Nachkriegskonstruktion der Cinephon-Werke. 1939-1945 hatte die Firma ausschließlich für die deutsche Wehrmacht produziert. Die hier angebotene Kamera stammt aus dem Besitz der Ceskoslovensk Statni-Film Prag. Der fast neuwertige Zustand kann Glanzstück einer jeden anspruchsvollen Filmsammlung sein.
