About the Item

Note: This antique May qualify for our Gallery wide ~EXTRA~ 10-25% off sale, Going on now. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The Arriflex 16ST was introduced in 1952 by Arriflex (Arnold and Richter) of Germany. It was one of the most popular cameras ever built for professional filmmaking. Offered for your approval, this example is a very early, pristine, rare, ribbed body, exposed drive belt camera with a rare, vintage, new old stock, 400' film magazine with the impossible to find ~Made In Western Germany~ label intact. Included is the very clean camera, a set of three vintage correct early German cinema lenses, a pristine factory bellows matte box with beam - sunshade, factory filter holders, an original early 't' bar viewfinder eyepiece with original factory rubber eyecup, factory constant speed motor, factory power cable, and other accessories as shown. The early Arri - Cartoni 'gyro' gear driven tripod head with wood Arri factory tripod shown is also included in this price. The tripod extends the overall height of this piece by approximately another 28 inches added to the stated height. Some very minor paint touch ups have been done to the camera body over the years, but these have been smoothed out in our workshop. A full cosmetic detail is included with this iconic camera package. Tripod shown is era correct. Additional (non specified) lenses, accessories and power supplies are not included but available from our stock. Display it or make movies with it or both. An iconic example of a classic camera that mostly all vintage filmmakers have used at one time or another. ~Like artifacts of an ancient civilization - these rare legends of early Motion Picture and related production equipment technology - have a secure and appreciating place in history.~ NOTE: Our selling prices are usually pre discounted and intended to be at 'Designer Net' and 'To The Trade' price levels.
