£695.00

Paillard Bolex H-16 Reflex Movie Camera with f2.5 Wide-Telephoto 16-32mm Zoom Lens.
 
Paillard Bolex H-16 REX-3 Serial No: 204153 from 1963. 

Specification:

Highly polished duraluminium body, covered in genuine Morocco leather. Metal parts are chrome-plated.
Film Capacity 100ft (30m), 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. Spring cannot be over-wound. 8:1 external drive shaft permits the attachment of an electric motor.
Rotating turret with folding lever; Accommodates three interchangeable C-mount lenses; Built-in turret lock lever.
Viewfinder 10x magnification; Reflex viewing with semi-reflecting prism system; Groundglass focusing; Adjustable to eyesight.
Variable Speed 12, 16, 18, 24, 32 and 64 frames per second
Release Button 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.
145 degree variable shutter; Operated manually to decrease exposure time, or with accessory Rexofader to accomplish fade-ins and fade-outs.
Footage Counter adds and subtracts accurately in forward or reverse motion and automatically returns to zero when film is reloaded into the camera.
A distinct click announces the passing of each 10 inches of film through the gate. 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.
Flat Base & tripod sockets 1/4″ & 3/8″ thread.
Overall Dimensions: 8 1/2″ x 6″ x 3″
Weight: Approximately 6 lbs

Additional features of this camera include an automatic spool ejector; automatic opening of loop former when closing the film door; the addition of a threaded hole in the camera body (for mounting the “Rexofader” automatic fading device); the addition of 4 threaded holes in the camera body permitting the attachment of an external motor drive; the addition of threaded opening behind the lower lens mount position for a turret locking screw.

This H-16 REX-3 includes the Eye-level focuser allows for critical focusing through a groundglass screen.

Also included is a Modern Sony f2.5 Wide-Telephoto 16-32mm Zoom Lens. This lovely Wide-angle to Telephoto lens brings all the benefits of a modern lens, fixed-focusing and short range zooming. An exceptionally bright and trouble free lens.

The camera works properly after winding and running, maybe it would be good to lubricate it sometime, that’s normal after so many years but only when the camera will be actively used.

Good cosmetic condition. Minor marks from use.

This is a vintage used item so please remember it is not in mint condition and I may not have found all flaws or faults. It has been well looked after over its lifetime. Please look at all the photos to assess the condition for yourself.

Only items present in the pictures are included.

Despatched in secure packaging with fully insured carrier.
