Siemens Cinema Camera D "Export", c. 1940

Siemens-Werke, Berlin. 16mm film camera for 15 m of film in a Siemens cassette. Three lenses in a quick-change sled: Schneider Tele-Xenar 3.8/75 mm, Schneider Xenon 1.5/25 mm, and Xenon 1.9/16 mm, C-mount. Sled-coupled viewfinder with interchangeable masks. Drive: Spring-driven 8–64 fps. Aluminum body with black crinkle paint. – Special feature: After the Hitler-Stalin Pact of 1939, Germany supplied the Soviet Union with high-quality German technology in exchange for petroleum, including Siemens products like this camera, thus a Russian export version. A nickel-plated plate on the camera displays a sensitivity table in Cyrillic script, for example, DIN and the Russian film standard Gost. A nickel-plated table on the camera also displays Cyrillic characters, translated: Large hyperfocal distance. The consignor acquired this camera in Moscow in 1985 from a former Red Army war correspondent. A great rarity for Siemens collectors.
