Questions
What affects the price and value of an H16 Reflex?
Mechanical condition, prism clarity, included lenses and accessories, and the specific Reflex variant are the main factors; cosmetically tidy cameras that run at correct speed sell for several times the price of project bodies.
Is the Bolex H16 Reflex still usable for shooting 16mm film?
Yes — it is a fully mechanical spring-wound camera that does not require batteries to run, so a serviced example remains practical for 16mm film work provided stock and processing are sourced.
