Chronology of cameras Ferrania
The Lince are mid-range cameras from the early 1960s. They are 35mm cameras with different equipment levels. The models in the series do not all look alike, and some are German imports that have been rebranded.
The Lince 2 and Lince 3 are the same camera with a different shutter. The Lince 2 has a Vario shutter (max speed 1/200), while the Lince 3 has a Prontor 300 or a Vero shutter (1/250). They both have the same Steinheil Cassar 2.8/45 mm lens.
While the connection to Dacora is evident for other Lince models, it is less clear for these two models. However, when comparing them with the Lince Super unquestionably Dacora , it is evident that the lower part is common.
The company that would later become Ferrania had been manufacturing dynamite since 1882. During World War I, it became known as SIPE (Société Italienne Produits Explosifs) and supplied cannon powder to the Tsar of Russia. However, following the October Revolution, it began producing celluloid using its enormous stock of raw materials. Around 1917, it transformed into FILM, with Pathé Frères holding half of the company's shares for a period, and began manufacturing positive film for the cinema industry.
In 1932, FILM acquired Cappelli, a company specialized in glass plates. The company Film Cappelli Ferrania then produced films and photographic papers. In 1936, they initiated the production of cameras, and in 1938, the name was shortened to Ferrania. In 1964, 3M Minnesota became a shareholder, and the company was renamed Ferrania-3M.
In 1947, Ferrania introduced the first European color film, Ferraniacolor, and in 1981, they developed the most sensitive reversal film of the time (640 ASA), surpassing Kodak's Ektachrome High Speed.
