Remarques
Marque sur le magasin : "AATON Made in France n° 054" ; et à l'intérieur "T 019".
La première Aaton 35 I a été facturée par l'entreprise en novembre 1989. Le prototype a été établi en 1988.
"The Aäton 35 is the only hand-held, instant-magazine, low noise camera ever designed for 35 mm filming. With a 400 foot magazine and on-board battery, it is a slim and light as a 16 mm camera. AätonCode and CCD video-assist are standard features. A low inertia drive mechanism coupled with a patented coplanar claw movement provides total film steadiness both vertically and horizontally. This means shaper pictures. Sliding masks and offsetable lens-mount provide quick aspect-ratio changes (1.33 to 1.85) and 35 to Super35 centering. The aperture plate never needs to be moved or removed, so back focus remains constant. With its unusually shaped mirror-shutter, it is the only 35 camera that can use the best still-camera lenses, e.g. CanonAF, LeicaR, and Nikon, as well as BNC, ArriPL and Panavision mounted lenses. Twin motor structure : DC motor for magazine drive, digital brushless motor for claw and shutter. They are both microprocessor controlled. This division of labour makes for a sturdy and easy to maintain camera mechanism. [...] AätonCode is recorded during film pull-down. It produces both yellow figures highly visible for film editors, and red SMPTE matrixes for video transfer with automatic audio-sync. Instantly removeable on-board CCD camera features high definition and no flicker. Timecode from the film is burned into the video picture. 35 mm instant magazine : the only instantly interchangeable magazine featuring a motorized take-up system, with no motor on the mag itself. This patented system reduces volume, weight and cost. [...] Three Perf pull-down available on option" (Brochure Aaton-35, Grenoble, Aaton, 1989).
"The gate is universal St 35 and Super 35. The absence of horizontal ledges prevents hairs from piling up. This hair free gate exclusive to Aaton, works thanks to the side pressure posts which put the film in a vault shape. Single pull-down claw pulls the film from a shaft positioned in the film plane itself (Aaton patent). [...] The video-assist, color or b&w, runs from the camera power through the lateral subD9 connector. [...] The Aaton 35 magazines have a unique magnetic drive system : a magnet wheel on the camera body couples with a similar wheel on the magazine, making this drive most reliable and very quiet" (Aaton 35 user manual, Grenoble, Aaton, 12 décembre 1989).
"The Aaton 35 camera is able to get into situations and attitudes that were impossible before. I thought that it would be an addition to my equipment that I would use occasionally, but I find that I'm using it almost exclusively. There is startling quality to the intimacy that can be achieved with this camera. It doesn't become obstrusive particulary in areas like work on the streets. The most important advantage is traveling with your own equipment as if it were luggage and being able to get professional theatrical quality imagery. No compromises" (Joe Pytka, American Cinematographer, septembre 1992).
