Beaulieu R16 Automatic
The Beaulieu R16 Automatic is a 16mm cine camera produced by the French manufacturer Beaulieu. It was aimed at advanced amateur and professional cine users who needed a compact reflex 16mm body.
Auction data for the R16 Automatic is thin: a single recorded UK saleroom hammer result (Christie's, 2001) reached £446, which gives a reference point but not a reliable market band for what the camera is worth in 2026. Because that result is wholesale-level — a hammer price excluding commission — and more than two decades old, today's value is best confirmed by checking current listings before buying or selling.
Sales History
Prices shown are UK auction hammer results — the wholesale level achieved in the saleroom. Neither buyer’s nor seller’s commission is included. Dealer and retail asking prices are typically higher.
