Description from the seller
Rare complete Paillard Bolex H16 16 mm set with many original accessories – Switzerland – 1950s/60s
Offered for sale, an original set around a Paillard Bolex H16, one of the most iconic 16 mm cameras ever produced. Made in Switzerland, the H16 is renowned for its build quality, precision mechanics and its importance in the history of amateur and professional cinema.
The lot is particularly interesting due to the presence of numerous period accessories kept together, something increasingly rare.
The lot includes
* Paillard Bolex H16 camera.
* Three C-mount lenses.
* Zeiss Ikon Ikophot light meter with its original case.
* Divided leather carrying case.
* Kodak 16 mm metal reel.
* Kodachrome II box with its original instruction sheet.
* Old Kodak film present on the reel (offered only as a collectible accessory, with no warranty of use).
* Several optical filters.
* Various lens caps and covers.
* Sunshade / Kodak accessories.
* Viewfinder frames and accessories.
* Period documentation and accessories visible in the photographs.
The 3 lenses:
1. PIZAR AR 26mm f/1.9 No. 210537
2. SOM BERTHIOT PARIS CINOR 17-85mm f/1.9
3. STEINHEIL MÜNCHEN CASSAR 75mm f/3.5 No. 920786
Condition
The camera presents a nice cosmetic condition for its age, with normal signs of use.
The mechanical controls (levers, dials, wind-on and external controls) seem to function normally when manually operated.
The camera is however sold untested with film.
The three lenses show internal haze as well as marks on the lenses (probable fungus, separation or deposits related to age). They are sold as-is and will probably require servicing. The viewfinder also shows haze. The set is sold untested and as-is. The set is mainly intended for restoration, refurbishment or collection.
The complete operation of the shutter and the mechanism with film has not been verified. The camera is therefore sold as untested.
The set is sold exactly as presented in the photographs.
Dimensions: approximately 40 × 28 × 22 cm.
Shipping mode: carefully protected package with tracking and insurance appropriate to the final value."
