List of
vintage movie cameras, projectors, precinema, etc.
P - Z
|
The following is the fourth part of a list of manufacturers of vintage cinematographic equipment, with most of the apparatus they marketed. It is by no means complete, but a basis for expansion.
Presently you will find the country of origin, year of manufacture and size. The ACR number, if mentioned, refers to Ariel's Cinematography Register. I expand it continuously with more images and data on other apparatus. In general this list closes in the year 1965 with the introduction of super 8mm. For movie cameras after the introduction of Super 8 please refer to Anssi Puistot's excellent list of more than 1330 movie cameras. Images of apparatus may also be found in Google Images.
I listed apparatus I could not find the manufacturer of under Various
In many cases I am not sure of the years of manufacture. For guidance I have made guesses with a question mark. Of course all data are tentative.
I'm always grateful for any info you can supply to correct or update this list. Email to: wichm@NOSPAMxs4all.nl but delete the word NOSPAM from the address.
If you like to find out more about a certain apparatus, click on the first letter of the name of the manufacturer to go to the relative section of this list. If the apparatus is not listed look for a model number near to it for an approximate date.
As models often have a different name than that of the manufacturer you might also search with the Ctrl+F keys or the 'search this site' window below.
I'm receiving many queries about the value of equipment. Read my usual reply here.
