Since the 1920s ASKANIA has produced innovative film cameras such as the ASKANIA Universal in 1923 and the ASKANIA Bi-Pack color camera in 1932. The first portable shoulder-mounted camera was developed by ASKANIA in 1935 and left its mark on the German film industry. In particular, well-known UFA productions like Der blaue Engel<\/span><\/i>with Marlene Dietrich or<\/span>Quax, der Bruchpilot<\/span><\/i>with Heinz R\u00fchmann relied on ASKANIA film cameras.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tIn the years before the war ASKANIA built significant projectors and projector lenses. One of the most outstanding projectors of the time was the Askania projector, which was brought to the market in 1926. The innovative ASKANIA projectors were used in many cinemas in Germany providing the audience with the latest blockbusters.\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
