Description

Film camera 16 mm, Pentazet 16 A slow motion equipment, rarity, VEB Kino und Kamerawerk Dresden
I offer for sale extensive equipment for the Pentazet 16 A time-lapse camera. The camera was manufactured by VEB Pentacon Camera and Kinowerk Dresden (successor to VEB Zeiss Ikon). The Pentazet 16 A was probably built before 1968.
The camera is designed for 16mm film and recording speeds from 500 to 5000 frames per second. For this, the image is transferred from the optics to the film through a rotating mirror ring.
Time lapse cameras are some of the rarest film cameras ever offered, especially in this good quality and with so many accessories.
The camera offered here is equipped with both lenses (1: 2.8 35 mm and 1: 2.8 125 mm) and the corresponding attachments.
The speed is regulated by replaceable gears. The gears are all new!
Control box with various cables and a time stamp generator (tubular devices are also included, although I am not sure if all the necessary cables are included). The camera, since it has been tested, is sold specifically as a collector's camera without any restrictions. function guarantee!
The accompanying tripod is amazing! A huge "ball head" carries a heavy camera. The tripod extends and the height of the optical axis is adjustable from 1.20 to 1.90 m.
Tripod alone was mistakenly offered on ebay as Berlebach tripod for over $ 1400? (note, only a tripod!)
The two schematics on less well-preserved paper are still legible.
Equipment and lenses are in good cosmetic condition. A tripod head tilt rod is also included, but it's too thin, maybe it's from a different tripod head or do you need an adapter?
The last time the device was used was probably several decades ago for scientific purposes at the Technical University.
Overall, a great museum piece for a high-end collection or museum. I think the pictures speak for themselves.
The equipment is extensive and heavy. The two boxes have the following dimensions (approximate):
73.0 cm x 45.5 cm x 30.0 cm;
40.0 cm x 34.5 cm x 27.5 cm.
The weight of three boxes is over 100 kg.
The tripod is about four feet long when folded.
Happy Bidding!
