FILM MAGAZINE for Soviet KGB F-21 AJAKS spy camera ABOUT ITEM'S ORIGIN (You can SKIP it!) The F-21 is a famous Soviet spy camera. This model became KGB standard and was in production at KMZ (Krasnogorsk Mechanical Factory) plant from 1951 to mid-1990's. This camera was designed and made with its special purpose, it is very small, light, can shoot the entire roll of film from one full wind of its spring motor-drive. Picture quality was, of course, very important as well, so the F-21 equipped with very sharp, high-resolution lens. You can see such lens at famous Horizon panoramic camera. Reasonably large frame size of 18x24 mm is also works for good image quality. So technically, using the 35mm terms, the F-21 is a half-frame camera. The F-21, as its name suggests, uses 21 mm film without perforation. This film is unavailable at stores, but can be produced from any 35 film using a 21 mm cutter, either self-made or ordered from some submini stores and sellers. The camera can use a 60 cm long film, which would provide up to 20 frames. This limitation depends from thickness of the film; modern films are thinner and the F-21 cassette can hold longer strips of film. The cassette has to be loaded with film in the dark, but can be placed in the camera in daylight, like any other film cassettes for well-spread cameras. It is made in the same was the dual cylinder Leitz and Zeiss cassettes were made - it opens inside the camera when the bottom locks are turned to "locked" position. A lot of accessories and coverings had been produced for F-21 cameras. ITEM'S CONDITION: EXCELLENT- The magazine looks fine and applicable for any 21mm film. All internal parts are complete.
