When The CBUT Mark IIs Were Brand New

This is a photo from August of 1954 showing camera one of four CBUT Marconi Mark IIs covering swimming competition at Vancouver’s newly constructed Empire Pool. Vancouver was the host city of the Empire (aka Commonwealth) Games of 1954. This camera is equipped with a Watson 5 x 1 zoom lens. Just above the cameraman’s hand, you can see the manual zoom demand.
