Arri Arriflex 16

{"overview":"The Arriflex 16 is a 16mm motion picture camera produced by the German maker Arri (Arnold & Richter). As of 2026, the spread reflects how much condition and completeness matter: stripped bodies tend to sell for what a working kit with a functioning movement and clean optics fetches at auction. Buyers should note these are wholesale hammer figures rather than dealer retail prices, so the value of a clean, serviced example on the retail market will sit higher.","buying_guide":"Inspect the film gate and pull-down claw for wear, run the movement at multiple speeds to listen for rough running, and check the reflex mirror for pitting or residue. Confirm that any included lenses and magazines are present and free-running, as missing accessories depress the price significantly. The price is strongly tied to mechanical condition and whether lenses and magazines are included."},{"q":"Is the Arriflex 16 a good buy at this price?","a":"For collectors and users of 16mm film, the current value range is consistent with a functional professional cine body of this age.
