Pathe Kok 28mm Cine Camera

Pathé Kok 28mm cine camera with Special Cinema Anastigmat F/4.5 45mm lens, no 124063, two internal magazines and crank handle.

The Pathe Kok 28mm camera was available from 1912 at the advertised price of £21 including a sturdy tripod, an essential accessory for this rather heavy, bulky hand-turned cine camera. At the time, the reversal process had not been introduced, so negative (advertised as non-inflammable) 28mm film stock was offered at 2d per foot - a 120 metre (394 foot) spool was 66/- (£3.30). The exposed spool of film was returned to Pathéscope for processing and production of a positive projection print - again at a cost of 2d per foot.
