What it is

{"overview":"The Bolex H16 SBM is a 16mm spring-wound cine camera from the long-running Swiss-made H16 reflex line. With only one data point in 2026, that figure is the best available reference for what an H16 SBM is currently worth, though condition, completeness and any included lenses will move the price materially.","buying_guide":"Inspect the spring motor for smooth running at all speeds and check the reflex viewing system for clean, bright optics.
