Vintage film camera Carèna 2 Géva 8

Details

The French 8 mm camera brand Carèna was designed by Jacques Broïdo, one of the two fathers of Pathé Webo (French patents nos. 585344 and 585960).

Watchmaking technology at the service of amateur cinema. Practical advantages: its elegant shape, small size and ease of use.

This mechanical 8 mm camera launched in 1956 has a grey granite finish with black leather trim and a large "Caréna 2" (and Gevaert) logo on the side. The body accepted a standard lens. The tubular Galileo viewfinder (non-retractable) was attached to the lid and had a rubber eyepiece.

Consistently favourable results contributed to the success of the Carèna 2 Géva 8 camera, which was justly appreciated by its many loyal users.

Its technical qualities include an interchangeable lens, a viewfinder tube with position-adjustable eyepiece, an extra-flat mechanism designed as a stopwatch, 4 speeds with a non-adjustable regulator and a shutter movement that guarantees incomparable image stability.

Dimensions: 11.5 cm, 6 cm, 18 cm.
