The mission statement of the Edmonton Photographic Historical Society is that we are dedicated to the history of photography: the pioneers, the cameras and equipment and the place of photography in the world. In keeping with this mission statement, we try to ‘rescue’ unwanted photographic equipment whenever possible. The Society does not accept equipment as per say; rather we rehome it amongst people who want it and will give it a good home.
I recently wrote about a lady who contacted the Society with such a request. She had quite a few items from the estates of both her late father and uncle, and she thought it a shame to garbage these unwanted items. We agreed with her, and rescued the following items which we are in the process of rehoming.
20. Instruction manuals - Leica, Crown, Canon
Instruction manual for a Leica III g 35mm rangefinder camera introduced by Leica in 1956. It was the last screw mount Leica and it was introduced after the bayonet mount Leica M3 was already in production. Instruction manual for a Crown Zoom 8 Model EZS 8mm Movie Camera from 1960.
Instruction manual and related warranty documentation for a Canon FTb 35mm single-lens reflex camera. Manufactured by Canon of Japan starting in March 1971, the FTb replaced the Canon FT QL. It features a Canon FD lens mount, and is also compatible with Canon's earlier FL-mount lenses in stop-down metering mode.
21. Anglo Flash Gun
A Japanese-made "Anglo" flash gun using flashbulbs. The reflector segments fold into a more compact form for storage, and also presumably to protect them.
22. Agfa KL Flash Gun with case
During the early 1950s Agfa Camera Werk, Muenchen produced two very similar flashguns - the KL and the KK. These were virtually identical and quite hard to tell apart. The KK was the cheaper of the two and the only difference was the use of plastic fittings.
23. Eumig Power Cord
North American style 120 volt power cord (as opposed to European style 240 volt), for a Eumig device, likely a movie projector.
24. Excel Model 85-U 16mm Movie Projector with case
The Excel Projector Corporation was first established in 1933 in Chicago, Illinois, USA. I think this is a 1947 model projector. Originally the Model 85-U was designed to watch short films and home movies.
25. Eumig C5 Zoom Reflex Double 8mm Movie Camera with case
Early 1960s vintage 8mm movie camera. EUMIG was an Austrian company producing audio and video equipment that existed from 1919 until 1982. The name is an acronym for Elektrizitäts und Metallwaren Industrie Gesellschaft, or, the "Electricity and Metalware Industry Company."
The Eumig C5 features a Eumig f1.8 / 10-40mm zoom lens, manual and automatic exposure, and uses 5- AA batteries.
26. Vivitar 80C Filter 48mm
The 80C colour conversion filter transforms the colour of the ambient light entering the lens by adding blue to the overall exposure. This helps match the scene to your film's white balance by converting 3800°K light sources to match 5500°K daylight-balanced film.
27. Argus Vari-Motion 892Z 8mm / Super-8 Movie Projector
Made in Japan by Bell Ko-On, the Argus Vari-Motion is a compact movie projector with support for both 8mm and Super 8 films.
