I have been playing with this neat Cine-Kodak Model E 16mm camera for a bit and really had fun getting it running. Before it came in with a group of other 16mm cameras, I had not ever had one of these in hand before. It has a really nifty viewfinder that also lets you see the remaining film as you’re shooting. Introduced in 1937, the Cine-Kodak Model E was the lowest priced 16mm camera Kodak offered at the time, retailing for $48.50. I am not sure how long this model stuck around, but based on its size and ease of use, I would think it appealed to the amateur and home movie markets for a long time. The camera has been run and all seems to be in working order, but I have not put film through it. I have paired this camera with a beautiful, sturdy wooden tripod to act as both a show piece and a working camera.
