17.5mm Camera

[Rodney Bourke]

Anything in 17.5mm is very rare, there were Two Formats using 17.5mm film.
One was Pathe's 17.5mm with Perforations in the Center.
The other was 35mm Film cut in Half, to make 17.5mm this Camera on ebay still has the original
Film and Cartridge See.

For 875 American dollars, just think what else you could buy which would be much more useful.

Rodney, there were actually 8 different versions of 17.5.


For anyone interested, you can see, here the Pathé 17.5 : https://vivicinema.blogspot.com/2011...at-175-mm.html

Then, in 1933/4 there was Pathe Rural Sound on 17.5mm.
This time, one side of the film contained the sound track, this left only one set of perforations on the other side.

Hoped to get a camera one day boo.
My Pathe Rural I run occasionally prob once a year, and currently contemplating fitting a HDI lamp in it. Time is the REEL problem.

I've been S8 filming my Raise the Titanic S8 locations documentary for 5 years, let alone Cinema in Miniature II. Oh Moother!
