Arriflex 16s MINT(-) 3 Lenses, 24fps Sync Motor, Bellows, Orig Case & Power Cord

Description: Arriflex 16s MINT(-) 3 Lenses, 24fps Sync Motor, Bellows, Orig Case & Power Cord Features and further details Please excuse my introduction to a camera that scarcely requires one among the cognoscenti. The Arriflex 16ST, a paragon of its era, continues to deliver imagery that not only meets but exceeds the standards of contemporary cinema, a testament to its revolutionary design. When juxtaposed with the venerable Bolex series of 16mm cameras, the Arriflex 16ST boasts a more robust construction and a film gate renowned for its unparalleled steadiness, surpassing even the later iterations of Bolex cameras. Mount this cinematic marvel on a fluid head tripod, and brace your cast for their imminent spotlight at your forthcoming indie film festival. In my extensive encounters with cameras of this caliber, seldom have I stumbled upon one in such impeccable condition—truly, a specimen befitting a museum exhibit. Its low serial number and the sheer quality of craftsmanship imbue the user experience with an almost ethereal quality. I've conservatively graded it as MINT (-), under the presumption of recent manufacture, despite its nearly septuagenarian legacy. It appears to have been ensconced in a dry, temperate environment for the majority of its existence, showing minimal signs of use. This camera has undoubtedly enjoyed a pampered existence, likely occupying a place of honor on the shelf of a hopeful filmmaker's dreams. Low Serial Number: It has a unique non-beveled film door and classic view finder distinguishing it from later models. This functional art piece stands apart as a testament to the bygone era of traditional filmmaking.Body Condition: Signs of use are evident, though sparse. Lens Condition: There is no fungus or fog on the lenses. They have some light makings on the glass, but only seen with the discerning eye. The lenses are in fantastic shape. Internal Condition: Unknown. I wish I could speculate, but I believe you will eympathize as to why I cannot. I will say these machines do not break spontaneously under regular conditions, which from its cosmetics has given me no reason to believe it's been subjected to any extreme conditions as such. Accessories: The motors and cords are untested, though cosmetically they are in great shape.
