A-cam SP-16

The smallest, lightest and most affordable Super-16 film camera in the world. A-cam is compact enough to be carried and used wherever and whenever, and can be handled without complicated preparations.

SP-16 - Series II

After evaluation with filmmakers around the world and production experts Ikonoskop launched a much improved A-cam SP-16 in late 2004.

The significant enchantments in Series II are:

• Faster and stronger take-up spool.
• Safer film transport.
• Lens mount in steel.
• Better protection of light in time-lapse.
• more than 20 minor internal improvements.

We are proud to say that the A-cam SP-16 is the production workhorse that we aimed to produce after these significant improvements.

All sold SP-16s are sold with the above improvements included. If you are a lucky owner of a SP-16 version Series I - please contact Ikonoskop to see how we can upgrade your camera to the latest version.

A professional Super-16 camera for the price of a DV-cam?

It is possibly by stripping the mechanical and electronic design down to an absolute essential. We are using modern manufacturing and design tools and choose convenient materials - of course without compromising in the overall image quality.

This means no reflex viewfinder, no time-code, no magnesium, in light-meter - Just a Super-16 film camera, ready to use out of the box!

What is Super-16?

Super-16 uses the maximum image available on single perforated, conventional 16 mm film. Super-16 is the most versatile format for high resolution images with a aspect ratio of 1,66:1. This equals 15:9 and is close to the HD-formats aspect of 16:9.

Super 16 also offers the option for blow-up to 35-mm for cinematic release.

For film and TV producers, the economic flexibility of Super-16 in meeting both today's and tomorrows needs plays strongly in the decision-making process, especially when considering the option of film vs. video.

The Super-16 format was developed by Swedish cinematographer Rune Ericson. He was awarded an Oscar for this innovation in 2001.
