Bringing this interesting Vinten Model H camera back to life during the pandemic made the isolation of that time more bearable. (You can read more about the restoration process on our blog:https://bit.ly/3T4AITD) The unique and innovative design of the Vinten camera made it a world class addition to the 35mm motion picture camera canon. Unlike its contemporaries, the model H camera racked the movement over between the shooting position and the viewfinding position, removing the problem of moving the mass of the camera from one position to another.

Other unique features of this camera include the variable shutter system, the thoughtfully designed viewfinding system, and the old style variable speed motor with its giant wire-wound resistor speed control. It would be a real treat to experience shooting with this early example of the Vinten Model H camera (serial #14). An excellent production tool, or prized possession for your screening room or den.
