Officine Galileo Candog I<\/b><\/b><\/span><\/p>\n

Negli anni Cinquanta le Officine Galileo avevano una presenza significativa in Australia, dove esportavano una vasta gamma di prodotti destinati sia all\u2019ambito civile sia a quello militare. Quando l\u2019azienda decise di proporre anche le proprie fotocamere Condor con il marchio \u201cOfficine Galileo\u201d, si trov\u00f2 di fronte a un ostacolo inatteso: sul mercato giapponese era gi\u00e0 in produzione una macchina fotografica che portava lo stesso nome. Per evitare conflitti legali e poter procedere alla distribuzione, fu necessario trovare una nuova denominazione. La scelta cadde su\u00a0\u201cCandog\u201d<\/b>, un appellativo curioso e allo stesso tempo intelligente, che giocava\u00a0sull\u2019accostamento tra il \u201cCan\u201d italiano e il \u201cDog\u201d inglese<\/b>. Inoltre, l\u2019inserimento del suffisso\u00a0\u201cOG\u201d<\/b>\u00a0non era casuale: richiamava chiaramente le\u00a0iniziali di Officine Galileo<\/b>, mantenendo cos\u00ec un legame diretto con l\u2019identit\u00e0 del produttore.<\/span><\/p>\n

La Candog I<\/b>\u00a0\u00e8 una variante della\u00a0Condor I<\/b>\u00a0prodotta specificamente per il mercato australiano. Pur essendo una fotocamera con uguali caratteristiche alla Condor I, si distingue per la marcatura\u00a0\u201cCandog I\u201d<\/b>\u00a0che la identifica come modello destinato all\u2019export in Australia, da cui provengono tutti gli esemplari conosciuti.<\/span><\/p>\n

La\u00a0Candog I n.0037916<\/b>\u00a0si colloca tra gli\u00a0ultimi esemplari prodotti<\/b>. Le ultime Candog I, infatti, presentano numeri di serie prossimi al\u00a000380xx<\/b>. La numerazione delle Candog I rientra nella sequenza ordinaria delle Condor I, poich\u00e9 la produzione era intercalata: Condor I e Candog I venivano realizzate alternativamente all\u2019interno della stessa serie numerica.<\/span><\/p>\n

Caratteristiche principali della Candog I<\/b><\/b><\/span><\/p>\n

\u2022\u00a0Formato pellicola:<\/i>\u00a024\u00d736 mm (standard 35 mm).<\/span><\/p>\n

\u2022\u00a0Messa a fuoco:<\/i>\u00a0telemetro accoppiato all\u2019obiettivo.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u2022\u00a0Ottica:<\/i>\u00a0Eliog 50 mm f\/3,5, fissa.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u2022\u00a0Otturatore:<\/i>\u00a0Galileo Iscus Rapid, con tempi da 1 secondo a 1\/500 di secondo, pi\u00f9 posa B.<\/span><\/p>\n

Produzione e diffusione<\/b><\/b><\/span><\/p>\n

La\u00a0Candog I<\/b>\u00a0fu prodotta per soddisfare le esigenze del mercato australiano, dove fu ben accolta. Nel corso degli anni sono stati anche osservati esemplari di Condor II marchiati Candog, e Condor Junior marcata solo Candog, anch\u2019essi destinati allo stesso mercato.<\/span><\/p>\n

Valore storico e collezionistico<\/b><\/b><\/span><\/p>\n

Questo modello rappresenta un interessante esempio di fotocamera italiana adattata per l\u2019export, molto ricercata dai collezionisti per la sua rarit\u00e0 e per la particolarit\u00e0 della marcatura. La Candog I \u00e8 apprezzata non solo per le sue caratteristiche tecniche ma anche per il suo valore storico legato al commercio internazionale del dopoguerra.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
