The Angenieux Electronic Zoom For Turret Cameras: 1962
As you can see, this is quite a beast. Usually, lenses this heavy would be mounted on a sled that also went under the camera to support the weight and help balance it. There is what looks like a shot box on the right pan handle, but that may actually be manual control with a white button to zoom in and a black button to zoom out. Look at the size of the motor box under the lens. This is mounted on an EMI 203 Image Orthicon camera, and was built for use on the RCA TK60s and the Marconi Mark III and IV cameras as well. Anyone ever use one of these?
Best B&W camera they ever made? Drove it’s cousin the Taylor Hobson V5, 10 to 1, wow!!
