Spec Notes

Introduction price $79.50 (October 1932). The only INTERCHANGEABLE-LENS member of the Cine-Kodak Eight family. 25 ft double-8. Folding open finder integrated with the handle; peep-sight conversion for the 38mm. Two lenses documented: 13mm f/1.9 standard focusing 2 ft to infinity, and a 38mm f/4.5 telephoto, plus a Type S to Model 60 adapter for the 15mm. WIKIPEDIA IS WRONG that the standard lens is 19mm f/1.9 - that is the MODEL 90's lens. Kerr gives 13mm f/1.9. SERIAL NUMBERS: these bodies DO carry serials (Kerr's own Special is number 330; a Science Museum Group Royal Magazine is 65678) but NO Cine-Kodak serial-to-year scheme is published anywhere - checked across all four Kerr monographs, Wikipedia, Pacific Rim Camera's Cine reference library and two museum catalogues. Date these bodies by model production window only.
