It’s the 1944 50-page CAMERAFLEX 35mm User Manual,
for properly operating and maintaining a
CAMERAFLEX or CINEFLEX 35mm movie camera.
A CAMERAFLEX (or CINEFLEX) 35mm camera is a lightweight,
hand-held, easy-threading, reflex movie camera, manufactured
into the 1980s by the great CAMERAFLEX company of New York City.
It is an American copy of the legendary German Arriflex.
During WWII, the US government seized German patents,
and reverse-engineered the Arriflex camera. Cameraflexes
were first available to the US Armed Forces.
Many types of person have shot 35mm movies with Cameraflexes,
drawn by low cost and good quality.
The Moody Bible Institute shot church movies for GIs, and
filmmaker Russ Meyer (of “SuperVixens” fame), shot his
girly movies, too. How’s that for a diverse group of users?

Cameraflex is pretty close to an Arriflex (circa 1940), with
some differences, but the same great spinning mirror shutter.
Cameraflex actually improved on the original Arriflex design,
in one way. Its motor either mounts beneath, or fastens onto
the side, where Cameraflex put another drive gear. Wonderful!
An Arriflex manual works for the Cameraflex, but there are
different dimensions and the Arri uses metric screw fasteners.
This is a rare wartime Cameraflex military manual.
