Anyone know where I can get information on this camera, for example an instruction booklet, or company history, I got this for $50.00 and eventhough it weighs a ton, It works nicely!! |

According to McKeown's, the "New Vue" was produced by Newton Photo Products in Los Angeles, around 1947. There seem to be more of them around than one might expect -- I've seen a couple in stores, over the decades -- but nobody seems to have a manual on offer.
I, too, would be glad to know something about the manufacturer. There were a number of companies in that part of the world, at that time, that produced a single model and then disappeared (Brand Camera Co. was another).
It looks like a camera that would have been very well-suited to someone with a studio specializing in catalog or other product photography, and perhaps some portraiture. |
