CENTURY CIRKUT #8 PANORAMIC CAMERA OUTFIT -SOLD-

Century Cirkut No. 8 Panoramic Camera Outfit

CENTURY CIRCUIT #8 PANORAMIC CAMERA OUTFIT jbhphoto.com
From the 1910 Century Catalog

The Cirkut Panoramic Outfit is in itself a most complete affair, being made up of a camera which can be used in the ordinary manner for plates, if desired, and a Panoramic Attachment which is easily and quickly attached to the camera, thus converting it into a Panoramic Outfit.

Negatives up to 8’ may be made with the No 8. A complete circle of 360 degrees may thus be photographed, if desired.

The Century Camera, Model 46, when used as a plate camera, has a revolving back which enables the photographer to decide instantly, just how he wishes to make the picture.

The camera has a double sliding front which includes a small knob on the top of the left standard which raises and lowers the lens and then secures the lens in any desired position.  The camera has a double-section brass-bound telescopic bed, swing bed, rack and pinion movements.

The Century patented Front Automatic clamp automatically clamps and securely holds at any point on the bed the front lens and shutter. There is absolutely no chance of the front slipping after once adjusting the focus as the “shoe” grips the brass bed plate its entire length. 

The camera has a Bausch & Lomb Centar Series II lens.

A Folmer Graflex Corp Crown Tripod No. 4 is included to complete the outfit.  There are six gears and a wind-up key in the original box.

1907 Century Catalog Specifications:

  • Width of Photograph 8”
  • Dimension of Camera 10 5/8” x 4 3/4” x 10 1/2”
  • Weight of Camera 8 1/2 lbs
  • Dimensions of Camera with Attachment  10 5/8” x 8 1/4” x 10 1/2”
  • Weight of Camera with Attachment  14 lbs
  • Length of Bellows 21”

This Century Cirkut No. 8 Panoramic Camera Outfit is in very good condition, seeing it is over 100 years old.  It appears to have seen little use.  The leather covering is very nice and the leather handles are intact and usable.  The outfit appears to be complete as originally sold and includes the Century Model 46, 6 1/2 x 8 1/2 camera with rotating back (no film holders).  There is also the Cirkut 8” pano back, tripod with geared head and six gear set with key.  The case has seen a lot of wear and is in the worst shape, but the camera equipment inside has been well protected. The leather bellows is soft and supple but has not been tested for light leaks.   The lens is in very good condition and the shutter functions but is in need of a CLA.  The Cirkut back drive mechanism runs but is also in need of a CLA.

This is a very nice example of the Century Cirkut No. 8 Panoramic Camera Outfit.  With a little cleaning and adjusting it should make a good pano camera to use.  For more information, refer to the pages from the 1907 Century Camera catalog in the photos above.
