Bolex H16 EMB Electric

The Bolex H16 EMB Electric is a 16mm motion-picture camera in the Swiss-built H16 reflex line, fitted with an electric motor drive. It sits in the later, professional segment of Bolex's 16mm range, aimed at users who needed sync-capable electric running rather than spring-wound operation.

UK auction hammer prices for the H16 EMB Electric have ranged from £380 to £1,750 across recent sales, a wide spread that reflects how much condition, completeness and included lenses drive value at saleroom level. With only two data points on record, there is no reliable median, but as of 2026 a clean, working body with original accessories sells for considerably more than a stripped or untested example. Buyers searching for what a Bolex H16 EMB is worth today should treat the upper figure as lens- and outfit-inclusive rather than body-only.
