Eclair 16 NPR
The Eclair 16 NPR is a 16mm motion picture camera, a professional cine format used by news and documentary crews from the 1960s onwards. It was positioned as a shoulder-mounted reflex camera for synchronous-sound 16mm film work.
Sales data for the 16 NPR is extremely thin: a single UK auction hammer result on record, a Christie's sale at £540 in 2006. With only one wholesale data point and no recent comparables, today's value at saleroom level is not reliably established by this dataset, and condition, completeness of magazines and motors, and lens mount configuration would heavily influence what one sells for now.

Frequently asked questions
What is an Eclair 16 NPR worth today?
Auction evidence is limited to a single Christie's hammer result of £540 from 2006, so a current price cannot be reliably stated from the available data.
How much does an Eclair 16 NPR sell for at UK auction?
Only one UK auction hammer sale is recorded in our dataset, at £540, which is insufficient to establish a typical price range.
Why is pricing data on the 16 NPR so sparse?
It is a specialist 16mm cine camera rather than a stills camera, so it appears in general photographic auctions only occasionally.
