Beaulieu R16 Movie camera

Here is a Beaulieu R16 16mm film camera, made in France. In excellent condition, it looks almost new and all of its functions are fully operational. This is a motorized version. It offers shooting rates from 2 to 64 frames per second, switchable between 24 and 25 frames per second (FSB) for standard cinematic speeds, thus enabling slow motion, time-lapse, and other special effects.

It is equipped with a reflex viewfinder, an interchangeable C-mount for the lens, and is compatible with 3-inch focal rings and zooms. It also includes a Gossen exposure meter for semi-automatic exposure measurement.

It is powered by an integrated handle battery or by an external power source. It can hold 30- or 60-meter film magazines; a 60-meter magazine provides about 5 minutes of continuous shooting. The battery should, however, be replaced for normal operation. It comes with an Angenieux Zoom 17-68mm f/2.2 lens, in excellent condition, functioning perfectly and with a very clear and well-coated glass.
