Paillard Bolex H-16!
This camera originally took double perforated film however we have converted this to single perforated along with giving it a full CLA this means the film is readily available from Kodak.
The Bolex H-16 was introduced in 1935. The design appears to have been loosely based on the Bolex Auto Cine B. However, apart from the shape and a few similar functions, it was a radically different camera. Among the most notable improvements was the addition of a three-lens turret and variable speed dial. Over the next decade, the H-16 saw several alterations.
The Bolex H 16 camera played a central role in the work of many avant-garde filmmakers from the 1940s through to the 1970s because of its precision and lightweight, robustness and range of facilities, and the high quality of its optics, especially the zoom lenses, and its simple operation, which made possible an infinite combination of creative cinematographic choices.
