This is the Bolex H16, a super cool 16mm motion picture film camera. It is beautifully designed with a rotating lens mount for quick lens changes in the field. I used the H16 for projects in film school, it is a fantastic camera.

The Bolex is a movie camera that does not need batteries, you wind it with a crank on the side. It also has a function to capture one frame at a time for stop-motion animation or for use as a stills camera.

It comes ready to shoot with the standard Kern-Paillard 25mm f2.4 Switar AR C prime lens.

It is in excellent condition with light wear and works perfectly. The shutter is accurate at all speeds and the motor is strong. The gate is clean. The lens is clean and scratch free with no haze, fungus, nor other issues. There is a small engraving on the body of the lens, but it is minor and only cosmetic. The focus and aperture are smooth.

Two body caps and the takeup reel are included.
