Eclair 16-35 Cameflex Standard
The Eclair Cameflex 16-35 Standard is a French-made motion picture camera capable of accepting both 16mm and 35mm film magazines on the same body. It was a professional cine camera aimed at newsreel, documentary and feature work.
Sales data for this model is extremely thin: a single UK auction-hammer result recorded in May 2000 sells for £705, and no further verified hammer prices are available to establish a current range or median in 2026. Because that figure is more than two decades old and reflects wholesale saleroom level rather than dealer retail, it should be treated as an indicative data point only when judging what an Eclair Cameflex 16-35 Standard is worth today.
