Eumig C16R

The Eumig C16R is a 16mm amateur cine camera from the Austrian manufacturer Eumig, a maker historically associated with home-movie equipment. It sits within the small-gauge motion-picture category rather than still photography.

At recent UK auction, hammer prices for the Eumig C16R have ranged from around £40 to £110, with a 2025 result of £110 indicating what a presentable example sells for today. An older 2005 saleroom result of £600 is an outlier and not representative of what the model is worth in the current market, where values sit firmly at the lower end.
