T his listing is for a vintage Paillard Bolex H16 16mm Reflex Movie Camera that comes with 2 Lenses & Pistol Grip. One lens is an Elgeet 1 1/2 f/2.7 Cinematar Telephoto and the other lens is a Kern-Paillard AR YVAR f/1.8 13mm lens. The camera appears to be in working order but my testing was very limited. The serial number of this camera is 160953 which indicates that it as manufactured in 1959. 8 1/2" x 6" x 3.
Highly polished duraluminium body, covered in genuine Morocco leather. 100ft (30m) and 50ft (15m) daylight loading spools of 16mm film. Automatic threading and loop forming. The end of the film is simply placed in a channel leading to the feed sprocket. The release is pressed and the film is then automatically threaded throughout the entire mechanism.

Constant speed, spring motor mechanism; governor controlled. Large winding handle folds downward and attaches to camera when not in use. 8:1 external drive shaft permits the attachment of an electric motor. Rotating turret accommodates three interchangeable C mount lenses.

The top position allows for critical focusing through a magnified groundglass screen. Eye-level focuser allows for critical focusing through a groundglass screen.

Tri Focal viewfinder gives an exact viewing field for lenses of 3 focal lengths. 8, 16, 24, 32 and 64 frames per second. Provides for the making of continuous exposures by a finger-tip release on the front of the camera. A side release allows for locked, hands-free running or single frame exposures. This mechanism may be disengaged, if desired, by simply moving a lever.

Twin dial counts frames individually and in total; Adds frames in forward motion and subtracts when film is wound backwards. Dial may be reset manually at any time. Time lapse and animation is possible by using the side release button or an accessory cable release and adapter; I-T lever allows for timed or instantaneous single exposures. Clutch disengages spring motor and permits forward movement and backwind without running down the spring; allows for dissolves and superimposition.
