Description

The Krasnogorsk-3 is a 16-mm windup camera made in the former Soviet Union. The name "Krasnogorsk" comes from the suburb of Moscow where the plant is located. The K-3 has been adopted by many film schools, including the University of Southern California's School of Cinema and Television. Its low price, rugged construction and sophisticated optics have made it very popular with both beginning filmmakers and professionals.
