Kinarri 35

The Kinarri 35 was the ARRI's first 35mm camera, released in 1924.[1][2][3]

Function

This was Arri's first camera, constructed by August Arnold.[4] The Kinarri 35 was a hand cranked 35mm camera, in a round aluminum camera body, which was inspired by the Akeley camera introduced in 1919.[5]

The crank was on the right side and the framerate was obviously completely manually adjusted, by how quick the cinematographer turned the crank. On the left side there was a foldout direct optical viewfinder with a crosshair. The left side could be removed to load the film into the camera. The internal magazine took 100 ft (30meters) daylight spools. The Kinarri 35 had a fixed Arrinar lens f2,7/40 mm. The body was made out of aluminum.[6]

The overall design was later used for the Kinarri 16, which was released in 1928.

The name is a portmanteau of the German word for "cinema" ("kino") and the manufacturer's name, "Arri".
