Erich Kästner (camera designer)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Erich Kurt Kästner (April 5, 1911 - January 31, 2005) was a German movie camera designer. During his work for ARRI he invented the spinning mirror reflex shutter for movie cameras, which was first used in the Arriflex 35 in 1937. It allows the operator to have a viewfinder image equal to the recorded picture.

Erich Kästner received a Gordon E. Sawyer Award in 1992 and an Oscar in 1966, 1974 and 1982.
