Movie camera  Ultra16 Krasnogorsk-3  16mm K3 K-3 Meteor 5-1 17-69mm f1.9 zoom lens    The camera is converted to Ultra16 (1.85:1 ratio) film format(new film gate). The "Ultra-16" format is a production format and differs from "Super-16" in the symmetrical arrangement of the frame to the film. In this case, the corners of the exposed area partially enter the perforation. The usable area of the frame with an aspect ratio of 1.85:1 occupies the entire height between the perforations and is 11.8×6.25mm. It can be used to optically print redeemed film copies as well as to obtain high definition video in 16:9 format. The Krasnogorsk-3 (Красногорск-3) is a 16-mm windup camera  made in the former Soviet Union.  The K-3 has been adopted by many film schools, including the University of Southern California's School of Cinema and Television. It has a semi-automatic diaphragm setting. Its low price, rugged construction and sophisticated optics have made it very popular with both beginning filmmakers and professionals. Among the K-3's credits are music videos for the Spin Doctors and Suicidal Tendencies. Director Spike Lee shot some of the footage in his film Get On The Bus using a K3. There is a photo of Spike holding a K-3 on the cover of the soundtrack CD.
