16mm-camera

The Krasnogorsk-3 (K-3) is a 16-mm windup camera that takes both 1R and 2R film. Its low price target, durable construction and advanced optics have made it very popular with both amateur and professional filmmakers. The K-3 has even been adopted by some film schools, namely the University of Southern California’s School of Cinema and Television. The Krasnogorsk-3 16mm cameras are considered rather inexpensive in the realm of professional cameras. Produced throughout the 1980′s, they are often sold as “brand new” or “unopened” packages and may include leather cases, lenses, and any assortment of accessories. Keep in mind that the term “brand new” may not be entirely correct. Krasnogorsk cameras were made while the Soviet Union was still an entity, and many of the cameras were put in storage and packaged well, so that when opened they appear brand new. This is great, but do not expect to buy one of these Krasnogorsk cameras and immediately begin filming. Nearly all of the Krasnogorsk-3 16mm cameras would need to be serviced before use.
