One of the first commercially viable 35mm colour motion picture cameras (pictured) will be auctioned by Special Auction Services in Newbury on 2nd July. Invented by George Albert Smith of Brighton, England in 1906, Kinemacolor cameras were used in the UK from 1908 to 1914. Hugo Marsh, Director of Special Auction Services says: “This camera is a really rare find – the cameras and film were extremely expensive when new so very few were made and each of the handful of survivors is significantly different - making them all the more sought after now.” Also included in the two day auction will be a single owner collection of 500 cameras that are expected to fetch in excess of £120,000. One of the earliest examples included in the collection is a 1860s wet plate camera that carries an estimate of £600-800. Day two of the sale comprises a collection of in excess of 200 Leica cameras, including a Reporter 250 (£2,000-3,000), the Leica IV Compur (rim set) estimated at £1,000-1,500 and more than 30 of the legendary M Series Rangefinder cameras with estimates from £200-800 each.
