Bolex, Paillard H16 Movie camera

High-end Swiss cinema camera, Paillard Bolex H16, 16 mm format.

Excellent condition, fully tested. Mechanism in perfect working order; the spring motor is efficient and smooth at all frame rates.

A 16 mm film is provided in the internal compartment (for testing).

The viewfinder is removable to adjust the focus.

The indicators (needles, counter, frame rate, and shutter speed) function correctly; the springs are robust.

Note: the shutter trigger on the body works normally and depresses fully, but its return is a bit slow, indicating slight resistance; lubrication is needed.

A simple test for guidance.

Included: two original viewfinders of different sizes, two envelopes containing the manuals and certificates; a collectible piece.

Included: original Bolex control knobs and original leather case.
