Kodak K-100 / K-100 Turret
The Cine-Kodak K-100 and K-100 Turret (pictured here) were a pair of 16mm motion picture cameras produced by Kodak beginning in the 1950s and lasting til the 1970s. The K-100 came first, introduced in 1955 and discontinued in 1964. It differed from the later K-100 Turret only in the fact that it could mount a single C-mount lens, plus a finder. In 1956, Kodak released the Turret version of the K-100 that featured a rotating turret with mounts for up to three lenses plus three finders. The K-100 Turret remained in production until 1973.
Both versions of the K-100 use 100ft spools of 16mm motion picture film. Spring-tensioned motors are wound up, via a crank on the body, and used to advance film through the camera and power the shutter, making these cameras entirely mechanical. The K-100 has adjustable frame rates ranging from 16-64 fps. They were intended to cater to the advanced amateur movie-maker, making them well built and reliable, but lacking some of the features of more professional motion picture cameras of the time.
