alan mcfall Posted September 3, 2015 Share #1 Posted September 3, 2015 Advertisement (gone after registration) Has anyone ever seen the Leitz G1 movie projector? I have Leitz brochures that show it was available from around 1953 to 1959. I wonder if Leitz made it, or contracted it out to someone else. This was the smaller of two projectors, the H1 model was for large theaters. I have tried to attach a photo of the G1. Thanks Leitz 16mm movie Projector.pdf Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

luigi bertolotti Posted September 3, 2015 Share #3 Posted September 3, 2015 (edited) Could it be related to THIS Company ? Welcome, dear visitor!

I seem to remember that it had been sold to AEG... but don't remember if was a prewar or postwar story... the 16mm projektor,as you say, is clearly postwar... while the "Mechau" are much older...

alan mcfall Posted September 4, 2015 Author Share #5 Posted September 4, 2015 (edited) Leitz H1 Projector.pdf Wonderful pictures of the G1 projector. Attached is a photo of the H3 projector of similar mid 1950's vintage. The H3 is iluminated by carbon arc, with 7 times the brightness of the G1. The film mechanism and lens are the same as the G1. With the Kinowerks logo having the GMBH marking, would this not be after 1952 or so and thus parallel to the vintage of these projectors?
