The Ikegami HL79D was probably the best portable electronic camera of its time (1982).
This broadcast television camera uses 3 'low-capacity diode-gun' Plumbicons, which were
once state-of-the-art image pick up tubes (not C.C.D.'s) and is capable of 600 line
resolution.
This 'lightly restored' example is seen here with the 'correct' broadcast specification Canon
J13X9B3IRS11 zoom lens, with built-in X2 extender. The camera is also fitted with matte
box mounts and unusual carrying strap fixings probably made by the BBC.
