Bolex H16 Reflex + 3 lenzen Movie camera

25x32x15 cm, weight 9 kg. color of case brown, camera black. Rare Paillard Bolex H16 (1954) set-matching numbers with customs document from 1958 & Eye-level focuser in box. Motor runs at different speeds. This is a true collectors item. The set comes with the original Dutch customs document (Identiteitsbewijs Invoerrechten en Accijnzen) from Utrecht, dated 07-02-1958. The unique feature of this set is that the handwritten serial numbers on the document match the camera body and all 3 lenses. A historical "matching numbers" set in this condition is nowadays very rare. Camera body (serial number 99728): in very nice cosmetic condition. The mechanical wind motor has been tested. The speed regulator responds correctly when switching between all speeds (from 8 to 64 frames per second). Bolex Eye-Level Focuser: Included in the original, velvet-lined box. The sharpest aid mounts perfectly onto the camera's focus port. Original leather case: included and in solid vintage condition. Lenses Kern Yvar 75 mm f/2.8, Kern Switar 25 mm f/1.4 and Kern Var 16 mm f/2.8 (see customs document). Note on glass: Two of the lenses have clean, clear glass. Please note that the 75 mm lens shows slight haze from age. This is typical for lenses from this period (dried lubricant) and can be cleaned by a specialist. Also included are 16 vintage films from that period. Included 2 Octafilters, of which 1 loose and 1 on the camera. Added a Paillard Bolex tripod, with level, complete and working for quick attachment. The Rapid Attachment disc is missing.
