It is just some teasing for a great birthday of the Cremina which will be celebrated soon. We are honored to make a short video to this round anniversary. That means we were among the first ones to get to know the special anniversary model which will be introduced in September. Don't ask me about details pls, I will only post some pictures about the preparations for the shooting and maybe a few sequences of the raw materials.

Loving that cinema eos, gabor.
Cannot wait to see your film!

That's amazing, Gabor! Beautiful Omegas as well, especially the '60s Seamaster!

Don't mean to be a party pooper.
Might I ask if you are compensated in any way by Olympia, be it product or otherwise for your evaluation or promotion ?

To be specific. Did Olympia or related distributor provide you with a machine for free ?

We made some short coffee films in the last years and we are happy to participate on this. We will made this short film for a very modest cost compensation. No deal about posting pictures about the shooting if you meant that. That would be indeed strange.
Check the link below pls!

Looking at the equipment and videos in the link, I would guess he's involved with a production company of some sort and possibly hired by Olympia to produce a promo film. Sending him a machine would be required to make the film, and he's carefully avoiding anything to circumvent an NDA.

Nothing nefarious.

Oh what a tease! Will be interesting to see what is the uniqueness of the 50th model.

We do these films with a friend of mine. We are the production "company". But I'm a roaster. We are supported by Canon, Manfrotto, and some other camera rental companies because they like what we do. I wasn't hired, I offered Olympia to make a short film for the anniversary (I represent them in Hungary).

Robert, I wish they were free .

Aaaand ACTION!

Busy Sunday. Making some room for the shooting.
Petit problems with the vintage Olympia "couple".

No cord for the Cremina

If we strictly applied the site's "no commercial posts" rule, this thread would qualify. But given the circumstances (membership interest, small market, Gábor's history with the site), I'll make an exception.

Christian Sagehorn at Olympia Express mentioned the anniversary model would be available in September; some may have noticed the site billboard promoting it:

• 

Christian noted that starting from September production, the Cremina and Maximatic will have these improvements:

• Stainless steel frame and cover
• New switch is a shutdown switch (for Swiss and European regulations) it will stop the electricity after one hour
• Driptray will have more volume and the grid now is above

And of course the anniversary edition will have the unique paint color.
