The Krasnogorsk 3 is a clockwork Russian 16mm mirror-reflex movie camera manufactured at the KMZ factory (Krasnogorskij Mechanicheskij Zavod which translates to Krasnogorsk Mechanical Plant) near Moscow. It was still being manufactured up until the early 1990s.

Most later K-3s have an M42x1 lens mount (also known as a Zenit or Pentax screw mount), although there are some older cameras which use the same bayonet mount as earlier Krasnogorsk movie cameras. The standard lens for the K3 is the Meteor-5 17 to 69mm F1.9 Zoom lens.

The camera uses 100ft(30m) reels of 16mm film, the film can be either single or double perforated, when fully wound the camera will run through about 5m of film (approximately 30 seconds of footage at 24 frames per second) in one go. The camera can be run at 8, 12, 16, 24, 32, or 48 frames per second.

The Neva-2 is a double 8 cine camera designed and built by the LOMO factory in St. Petersburg around 1962.

The Neva-2 has a selectable frame rates, at 8 fps, 16 fps, 24 fps, and 48 fps, although the faster the frame rate the louder the camera is, as it runs completely on clockwork, although other than the noise this brings one advantage over a motorised cine camera there is no need for batteries, just turn a dial on the side, and away you go. When fully wound it will run for just over a minute at 48fps, which is pretty impressive really, as it’s equates to about two thirds of a reel of double 8 film in a single long shot.

It has a turret lens mount, meaning that lenses can be changed rapidly, just press a button on the front of the turret, and it springs forward, then you simply rotate it to the lens you want and push it back in.
