There used to be a small camera store (long gone) not far from where I worked. I think it was opened around 1940, and the gentleman who owned it took used cameras in trade. He had a large showcase with all the used cameras in it, so it was like walking into an old time camera shop. Most of the camera equipment I will be listing came from this store and has been in my showcase for many years. This is a Paillard Bolex H16 Supreme with all Kern Pallard lens. It is an excellent condition. The serial number is 97951. So, it was manufactured in 1954. I wound it and it runs properly, although I have never film tested it. This uses 16mm film 100ft reels, which are still available from Kodak. All the serial numbers, including the Octameter viewfinder match. A lot of times either the side back or the viewfinder has been replaced so the numbers are different. The 3 lenses are all Kern Paillard and not replacement lens. The Kern Pallard lenses are as follows: f=16mm 2.8f=25mm 1.4f=75mm 2.8 The lenses are clear with no mold or haze that I can detect, as is the Octameter viewfinder. (See photos). The original owner opted for the upgrade to the premium 25mm 1.4 fast lens. It comes with the Flat Base Adapter from 1956 which attached to the underside of ’round’ base H-8 and H-16 cameras, this support allowed the camera to be mounted on a tripod or balanced on a flat surface. The base was made of polished aluminum and contoured to the bottom of the camera with open space provided for the winding handle. Felt or cloth lining inside the base protected the camera body from scratches. All bases were adjustable to accept either 1/4″ or 3/8″ thread tripod screws. Please see all photos to determine condition. If you have any questions let me know. Item will be securely packed and shipped USPS Ground Advantage. Buyer to pay actual postage based on their location. I will try to ship in 3 days or less. Thanks for looking!

The H-16 Supreme also featured a folding turret lever that allowed the lenses to be rotated without disturbing focus or diaphragm settings. In addition, the turret was modified with a three position click-stop (earlier turrets had only two locking positions).The bottom of the tripod base was modified with a small, angled slot. This slot was included on all H models manufactured after this date and provided for the secure attachment of the Surefire Grip. Earlier cameras could be modified to include this slot, for a small fee, by a Bolex service facility.In 1954, this was marketed as the “H16 Supreme”. It was sold in the United States until approximately 1958.
