Beattie Portronic Vintage Mass Portrait High Volume Camera w / Lens. This is an interesting piece of kit used to rapidly take up to 170 images of a very large group of individuals. Used for those classic 150/200 person School Graduation Pictures. Through the use of an electronic solenoid multiple shots are rapidly taken. The idea, of course, was to capture everyone smiling!
The film is handled through a roll and moved as the shots are taken. Its a big camera from the 1950s.
Very cool historical item used for super sized group photos; has an interesting parralex correction and other fascinating features. Comes with all the electronic cables and power supply cords I guess its something of a museum piece. The lens alone is a real work of art. F 4.5 Colorstigmat lens.
