Mercury |
Interchangable lenses, Rotary shutter.-/1000. The 1938 Univex Mercury, shown on the left with its optional extinction light meter in place, was one of the most creative and innovative 35mm designs. It is an odd-looking, but strangely handsome camera due to the rotary shutter, which required a large hemisphere on the top of the camera. The lens and twin dials on the top (one cocks the shutter, the other sets the shutter speeds). Close-focusing to 1.5 feet. Two cold flash shoes-- the one right above the viewfinder might have been designed to use with slip-on supplementary viewfinders, the camera lens has an interchangeable mount , so other lenses might have been planned. Special exposure guide on the camera back, and depth-of-field calculator on the hemisphere. Unusual parallax marks in the viewfinder. Some sources report that it used special cassettes. It used regular, perforated 35mm film on special reels. |

Mercury CC 1500 |
Interchangable lenses, this was improved version of the original Univex Mercury. It had two differences over it's predecessor. First was a top speed of 1/1500, very unusual for the time. In addition it was typically seen with a faster lens, often a f2.0 Hexar. It was made by Wollensak, not Konica, but was very fast for the time. |

Mercury II |
Interchangable lenses, Rotary shutter.-/1000, the Mercury II was more successful due to its acceptance of standard Kodak film cartridges; it was also larger, and not quite as nicely proportioned and finished. The rotary focal plane shutter is situated in a circular "carter" visible on top of the camera body, and explains the unusual position of the film advance and exposure time buttons on the front of the camera. |

Mercury II Cx |
Interchangable lenses, Rotary shutter.-/1000, after the war, Universal picked up production once again. But they decided to make some improvements. The new CX model was similar to the earlier Mercury, but it used standard 35mm film.. The redesigned camera was noticeably larger. |
