At the beginning, it was just producing small parts of mechanical for photographic cameras. In 1888, the H.Mackenstein’s factory assembles the very first film camera equiped with a single-lens, fully operational, able to film up to 20 images per seconde. This film camera results from the works of Augustin Leprince, brilliant inventor to whom the history will refuse the paternity of the invention of the cinematograph.

In 1888 Mackenstein’s factory assembled the very first film camera equipped with a single lens, able to film up to 20 images per second. This film camera resulted from the work of Louise Augustin LePrince, inventor of the cinematograph.
