Quarz M camera

The Quarz M is a light camera of compact build, with a detachable handle (“pistol handle”), which houses a compartment for two filters. The Quarz M amateur film camera, manufactured in 1965-1973, is a modification of the Quarz 2 camera, developed for export sales. The Quarz M camera has a built-in spring-type drive, a selenium photometer, and semiautomatic focus. It is also equipped with a non-removable lens with a focal length of 1.9-12.5 mm. The camera enables recording of black and white images without sound, using different tape speeds of 12, 16, 24 or 48 frames per second, and rewinding. The Quarz 2 camera is used by Filip Mosz for documenting daily life (played by Jerzy Stuhr) – the protagonist of the Amator film of 1979, directed by Krzysztof Kieślowski.
