Brilliant! Thank you. A friend has just given me a load of old cameras that were his wife's grandfather's (the friend has just celebrated his 70th Birthday so you can guess how old the cameras are). Most are still cameras (including two Thornton Pickards which need a lot of work to get them back working, and I think are glass plate!) but there was also a Eumig C3. It is a black model and was "Made in Austria" so pre-1938. It's in very good condition and your video has perfectly explained what I needed to know. Now, am I going to be brave enough to try filming? Best Wishes.

Sometime in the 1980's, when Kodachrome Double 8mm film was still available, I bought a used Beaulieu MAR8G, which had a 6.5-52mm Angenieux manual zoom lens. Below the lens was a Selenium cell light meter that had a (somewhat) large window and an adjustable iris for different ASA movie film. I had some interesting experiences with this "semi-pro" movie camera, finding the various filming speeds quite interesting, though I'm more of a still photographer than a "sequential image" sort.;)

I got the new pale green color C3 about a year ago and it still works to this day. The serial code is 397471 and it was made in Austria. It is a beautiful camera and I thank you for this explanation

Great video on a beautiful classic camera. By the way, did you have to change the light seal, the yarn in the slit or track, in which the lid, covering the film compartment, is secured? I suppose it would be quite easy to do if needed. But on my C3, the yarn at least looks fine. Haven't tried yet though.

Hello! Very informative video, I've already watched twice. Mine has arrived today, it's also this black verison. The serial number is 54114. I've read somewhere that someone found with a serial number 37821 marked "Made in Germany", indicating Austria's annexation by the German Reich had occured, dating it after 12/03/1938.. BUT, mine has 54114 with Made in Austria. So what's next, if you know what I mean?! :D (Btw. it has it's original brown leather case with the small paper inside, a tripod screw tip, leather sling and a red lens cover.)

My turning/ winding dial thing doesn’t work and it did before. Do you have any idea why? I’ve played with the film that was inside and taken it out and stuff and the dial just won’t work I don’t know what I did wrong. It started to run slower and slower but I don’t know why

Dear Sir, a certain moment you talk about exposure. I just purchased a Fomapan 10 meters of 8mm (double 8) spool. It is indicated that's is ISO 100/21°. What 21° refers to? DIN or Scheiner? I'm trying to use the regulation table into the C3 operating manual but I can't understand how to fix it. Can you please help me? Thanks.
@Libsenth

Hi! The number 21 refers to temperature, that it is 100 ISO at 21 degrees celcius. The warmer it is, the more sensitive the film is to light.

The number 100 refers to the film speed measure using the ASA standard, while the 21° is refering to the DIN system. The combination of the two numbers is specified by the ISO, which is the currently used system. [1] [1] en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Film_speed#Current_system:_ISO

Dear Mr. Venza, I recently acquired an old Eumig C3 and plan to shoot my first Fomapan 100R roll. Can you tell me how your first roll turned out? Was it overexposed? Or did it turn out just right? Kind regards Loris

@@lorisruffino347 Dear Mr. Ruffino, the movie went out overexposed, because camera settings are for at most 50 ISO, although according to Film Photography Project (FPP) something could be saved once digitized. My suggeetion is or to use a 50 ISO film (you can purchase some from FPP) or use a lightmeter with dinamic scale, such like some models of General Electric PR-1.

It is Eumig, not Elmig. (eu = [oi]). Don't chew your fingernails, it is disgusting. Finally, please explain how by splitting the film becomes thinner? Sure you don't mean narrower?
