This is the much sought after Bolex H16 16mm movie camera. It is in excellent shape. See the 5th photo and you will see that the viewfinder is marked H16-F 25. Do not be confused because the manual has a picture of the H8. The manual has instructions and pictures for both the H8 and H16. Ken Paillard YVAR (made in Switzerland) 16mm AR f/2.8-22, Front and rear lens caps. Ken Paillard YVAR (made in Switzerland) 75mm AR f/2.8-22, Front and rear lens caps (with original case and lens shade, shade has a very small dent in the front). Lytar (made in France) 25mm f/1.9-22, Front and rear lens caps. Slight haze (all could use a CLA). Small spot near outer edge of 75mm. It should not affect any images. Aperture rings are smooth and moves easily through all the f-stops. Focus is smooth through entire range on all lenses. In amazing shape with the original Bolex Box.
Crank winds the spring and camera appears to operate normally at all various shutter speeds. Focus viewfinder is clean and bright.
Just a really nice camera. This camera will take single or double run 16mm film. The serial number is 90805, which is above the double run only serial number of 76471.
This camera also has the latest pressure pad and trailing claw assembly, making it more desirable than older Bolex H16s.
