For Sale: Arriflex 16ST Body Only - Okay Condition

[Alex Landherr]

For sale: Arriflex 16ST (body only)

Location: Sweden (EU). Happy to ship within EU/UK at buyer’s cost.

I’m selling an Arriflex 16ST 16mm camera body (no lenses, no mags and no motors included). This is the classic Arriflex 16ST – turret 16mm camera, 100ft internal loads, reflex viewfinder.

Condition / notes:

• The camera is in overall good cosmetic and mechanical shape for its age.

• The movement cycles.

• Viewfinder/optical path is intact and usable. Could benefit from a CLA.

• Shutter and mirror are present and not visibly damaged (my judgement, I don't have the tools or experience to take this camera apart).

• No obvious cracks or missing external panels.

IMPORTANT: It has NOT had a recent CLA. It should be serviced / re-lubed before serious shooting. I’m selling it as an honest “good base body that needs a proper CLA,” not as a freshly overhauled, film-tested kit.

Includes:

• Arriflex 16ST body

• Original hardware that’s on the body

Not included:

• Lenses

• Magazines

• Batteries / cables

• Matte box / accessories

• Lens body caps.

Why selling:
This was a project camera. I’m not going to get around to sending it out for a CLA, so I’d rather pass it to someone who will.

Price:
7,000 SEK / ~750 USD / ~690 EUR (does not include shipping or PayPal fees)
(Open to reasonable offers)

Terms:

• Camera is sold AS-IS, unserviced, vintage equipment.

• Local pickup in Sweden is possible.

• I can pack and ship within the EU or UK at buyer’s expense. Buyer handles any import taxes/fees.

• PayPal preferred.

How to Buy:

DM me with your offer and if I accept then we can hash out shipping. I prefer sending via PostNord. When the PayPal transaction clears I'll quote reply to note that it has been sold.

Thanks for looking.
