Krasnogorsk-3 super-16 or ultra-16 cine camera 

Condition :
Film camera Krasnogorsk-3 in excellent working condition. With us you get a camera of the highest quality, ready to shoot material immediately upon receipt at the post office.
By default we send a camera with a Super-16 frame.
Please select. If you would like to receive a camera with an Ultra-16 frame instead of a Super-16, let me know in a comment on your order. The Ultra-16 frame will be installed. There will be no additional charge.

The camera has been restored as a Super-16 (Ultra-16) at Synoptics Camera Service Center Hero4G. The film shutter was rebuilt at the factory, its shape is very accurate (see photo 2). The camera shoots on Super-16 film with Super-16 (Ultra-16) frame size. The viewfinder is not modified. The camera can also be loaded with regular old 16mm film.
Last 6 months we are fighting with the scratches in K-3. We added to the final camera check a "scratch test". By now in all cameras we run the film through the film path in extremely severe conditions and then we inspect the film and look for the scratches. If necessary we polish the parts of the film path and repeat the test.
I can carefully remove loop formers. Let me know in advance of your wish when paying for the lot.
Recently serviced (CLA) by our professional technicians, the camera is ready for years of use. All controls work smoothly, the spring motor drive has been cleaned and is now flawless, and the viewfinder is clean. The battery compartment has been cleaned. The lens has also been completely cleaned of dust, fungus, no scratches inside. Very often we find mistakes of repairing Soviet movie cameras by previous service craftsmen. And we have to fix them.
See real pictures for details, you get everything you see.
The cosmetic condition of this camera is not very good. It has many scratches on the body, the black coating is damaged. The lens housing is also scratched on the outside. Please look carefully at the photos!
If you need a leather camera case, email me. I will add a case for free. It will only affect the total shipping cost (leather case weighs about 2kg).

SENDING :
Usual delivery time (with tracking) to EU countries 12-20 days, USA and Canada 15-25 days, to other countries of the world 25-35 days.

Note: When you want to save some money and buy a cheaper Krasnogorsk with the description "Condition: Like new!" or "Lens in good condition", keep in mind that it has been sitting somewhere in a closet, garage, attic or in a person's closet for about 45 years... Ask yourself : what happens to an "almost new" car that no one has driven for 45 years?
