Kerry Decker TV Show: Old Movie Cameras (1982)
Loading...
Uploaded by KKD1247 on Aug 3, 2007
More highlights from my "NightLife Show" which ran on local cable TV in FL from 1980-1986. This condensed episode features a look at two old hand-cranked movie cameras from the 1920s. One has a Leica lens & the other is a DeVry camera. The cameras are seen close-up & operating.
The show concludes with old silent footage of Woodrow Wilson, the City of Chicago, Thomas Edison and Teddy Roosevelt. Old voice recordings of Edison & Roosevelt are played. A nice look back at cameras & equipment from the last century.
Air Date: October 22, 1982

i dont know if my previous comment got posted..but i think the 'mystery' camera might be a Kinamo, ICA AG Kinamo or Zeiss Icon Kinamo N25

My guess is that it was the Zeiss Icon Kinamo N25.

Kerry, these shows are very good. Did you ever have any idea of your audience, your ratings?

Not really. At the time, people would stop me at the Mall and say HI. I did get a number of letters in the mail (back then). I've gotten a lot of comments here from all over the world...its great!

Hi Kerry,
It's always a great pleasure to see your posts.
The DeVry camera you are showing here could be seen on a 1931 ad (I can't copy the link because of YouTube policy)
At this time, it cost $150 (!!!) to buy such marvel.
Many Thanks for your job !

Thanks! I'm not too surprised to see it among the 1930s cameras. Back then, I rarely paid more than $25US for cameras.
