Paillard-Bolex H 16 Rex movie camera, Vario-Switar 1:2, 5 86 EE lens, Leather Case and more.
Includes camera serial # 224581. Vario-Switar 1:2, 5 f=18/86mm EE lens no. 1056474. Auxiliary Viewfinder. Bolex Exposure Meter. 5 Gel Filter Holders and Case. Sekonic Studio Deluxe Exposure Meter, model L-398, and Case. Leather Paillard-Bolex Carrying Case with misc. leather straps. Also includes instruction manuals shown in photo.
Background: Based on the camera's serial number, I ...think it was made in 1966. I bought the above equipment "used" in January of 1984 from the respected Dodd Camera in Cleveland for a college film making course I took. I shot about 6 reels of film with no problem during the course, but went on to other interests and never used the camera again. It has been stored in the case in a dry area since then. I wound and tested the camera about 10 years ago, before testing it again at the time of this posting. The camera was well cared for since I bought it, and based on the excellent condition of the case, it was likely well cared for before I bought it. I believe the lens and other opticals are good based on my prior use, but can't provide an expert assessment.
I don't know if the Bolex or Sekonic exposure meters are still functional.
This entire set is sold "as is" with no guarantees.
