Imperial Savoy 66 plastic Camera·임페리얼 사보이 중형 플라스틱 빈티지 카메라

1956~1965년 시카고의 Imperial Camera사에서 제조된 임페리얼 사보이 중형 카메라입니다. 보기드문 미래지향 디자인을 한 이 카메라는 6X6 포맷(FORMAT)의 플라스틱 중형 카메라입니다. 그린, 레드, 블루, 그레이, 블랙의 제품군이 있고 자세한 스펙은 찾아볼수 없었지만 분명 고정조리개(aperture), 고정셔터스피드(shutter speed)의 원버튼 중형 똑딱이 카메라인것 같습니다. 하지만 모양새만으로도 충분히 가지고 싶은 카메라입니다 :) ebay 검색결과 빈티지 그린컬러의 제품이 $2.99에 하나 올라와있군요. 매물이 하나밖에 없어 중고시세를 알 순 없지만. 4일 남았으니 대략 한화 10만원정도 선에서 거래되지 않을까요. (ebay.auction) 조리개와 셔터 (miniportrait 정도만이라도) 컨트롤이 가능하고 폴라로이드팩까지 장착이 가능하다면 당장 구입할텐데 :). 작동유무 알수 없는 정체불명 빈티지카메라는 사지말자고 굳게 다짐했으나 무척 땡기는 카메라입니다. Readmore..에 촬영 샘플사진과 매물정보가 있습니다.

Manufactured from 1956 to 1965 by Imperial Camera Corp. of Chicago, Illinois. The Imperial name had been used by Herbert George Camera Co. as a camera model name. In 1961, the company changed it’s name to Imperial Camera Corp. The Savoy was one of the company’s 6x6cm plastic cameras. Other names given to the same model include Adventurer, Mark XII Flash, Reflex, Six-twenty and Six-Twenty Reflex. It is a simple box camera that used 620 film. Some had an equally simple flash attachment. Created at during the early days of the space race, it featured a “futuristic” satalite symbol on the metal face plate. It’s real feature: It came in colors! The green, oddly enough, is the most common. It also came in at least red, blue, tan, grey and black—maybe more. I’m not sure if the grey in my collection started life as a two-tone, but it is now…

A personal note: Holding a special place in my collection is the red Savoy. It is my very first camera. My father purchased it for me when I was 3 years old. Little did he know what he’d start!

There is a small amount of rust on the strap holder, view finder and the aperture in the back..
There are a few very minor surface scratches on the camera.
