A set that keeps its box, case, filters and matching-number manual is far more complete than a bare body, which collectors of movie cameras appreciate. It is a strong display piece for anyone interested in the history of Soviet film equipment.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhat's Included\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eQuarz-5 movie camera with original pistol grip\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOriginal leather carrying case with blue velvet interior and shoulder strap\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFull set of light filters and lens attachments in the case lid\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOriginal manual\/passport with matching serial numbers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOriginal cardboard box\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLens caps\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Soviet Vintage Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67681934442645,"sku":"EBAY-406913547075","price":175.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0808\/0500\/3413\/files\/soviet-movie-camera-quarz-5-2x8mm-super-full-set-1.jpg?v=1791722627","url":"https:\/\/sovietvintagestore.com\/products\/soviet-movie-camera-quarz-5-2x8mm-super-full-set","provider":"Soviet Vintage Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
