The Krasnogorsk-3 (Красногорск-3) is a spring-wound 16mm mirror-reflex movie camera designed and manufactured in the Soviet Union by Krasnogorsk Mechanical Works. A total of 105,435 Krasnogorsk-3 cameras were produced between 1971 and 1993.
It was one of the most popular 16mm movie cameras in Eastern Europe, where it made a prominent appearance in Krzysztof Kieślowski's 1979 film Camera Buff, and was used in television production. The camera continues to be popular in the West, and has been used in film schools. Director Spike Lee shot parts of his film Get on the Bus with a Krasnogorsk-3.
