Does Anyone Recognize This Camera?
This is a screen capture from an episode of "Kolchak: The Night Stalker," the cult tv series from 1974. I've always wondered what kind of camera it was that Kolchak used for this show. It couldn't have been very good for newspaper usage, as it was such a tiny camera. But, with this capture, I can see it looks be made out of metal, so it's probably not a cheap model. It appears to have a glass lens, too, so it's probably one of the better subminiature cameras made in that era.
If anybody recognizes who made this camera and what model it is, I would sure like to know! That's Darren McGavin as Kolchak, by the way.
Update: I now know this camera is a Rollei 16. It was a subminiature 16mm camera and the flash is a matched unit.
