Revue 200 C

The Revue 200 C is a viewfinder camera. It was sold in the 70’s under the private label of Foto Quelle. The model was also available with an Olympic emblem. The original price at that time was 89 German marks. The model was probably built by the German company King KG.

The lens of the camera cannot be changed. The lens bears the name “Color-Isconar 40mm f/2.8”. The lens has a focal length of 40 mm. The lens is focused manually. The Revue 200 C does not have an autofocus.

In the Revue 200 C a selenium light meter is installed. It is designed for films in a range from ISO 25 to ISO 400. Over the years, this type of light meter loses accuracy. The big advantage is that batteries are not needed.

The 35 mm camera comes with a bulb setting option. In this mode, the film is exposed as long as the shutter release button is pressed. On this model, however, the function can only be used with a cable release. For blur-free shooting, the camera can be mounted on a tripod. An external flash can be connected via Hot Shoe.

Films for the Revue 200 C

The Revue 200 C is designed for 35mm films. The 35mm format is very common, which is why there are still some manufacturers and many development laboratories. A great film choice for color photos is the Agfaphoto Vista 200* and for black and white pictures the Kodak TRI-X 400*.
