Pro 16mm Film Cameras | The EXPENSIVE ones

16mm Film has been used for everything from home movies to big blockbusters! I'm taking a look at some of the higher end professional quality 16mm cameras that are out there to use on those bigger film projects.

    I just read a book about a BBC sponsored British expedition that travelled across Zanzibar and Tanganyika (now Tanzania) in a 3 person hydrogen balloon in the early 1960's featuring an Arriflex 16mm camera ( see A. Smith, "Throw out Two Hands" , George Allen & Unwin, (1963) ). The appendix to the book mentioned the camera initially used 8-volt Varley batteries that proved 'spillable and heavy' until one of the cameramen improvised his own battery constructed of electronic flash unit cells, each with 3 floating balls to show the state of charge, embedded in foam rubber and encased in a small metal box that clipped onto the waistband of his trousers. The battery was chargeable from the Land Rover battery via a 12 volt stepdown built in series. They carried a range of 11 lenses for this camera: a 12.5mm Taylor Hobson lens; 40mm, 90 mm, 150mm, 300mm Kilfitt Kilar lenses; as well as 240mm and 400mm Novoflex lenses with follow-focus pistol grips. The film stock (courtesy of the BBC) consisted of 24,000 feet of Eastman Plus-X 16 mm negative film in 100 foot rolls; 24,000 feet of the same in 400 foot rolls; and 12,000 feet of Eastman Tri-X 16mm negative film. The sound recording was done on a Ficord midget tape-recorder.

    Hi, thank you for this blast from the past. I am a 60 yo special effects technician semi retired now but back when I started in the Melbourne Australia film industry as a 18yo I was a clapper loader / camera assistant. I cut my teeth on all these beautiful cameras you describe. I did student films, local TV station news, documentaries, TV commercials and full on feature productions. When I went to Germany on a job, I got a tour of the Arriflex factory in Munich. One time I was a clapper loader on a rock concert movie filmed over two days non stop. I loaded for 15 cameras of all different types and 3 different film stocks and we ended up shooting 686 rolls of 400 foot. I had blisters on my thumb from loading 16 BL magazines. Thank you for the fond memories. Peter A

    Love the Arri 16BL and SR2/3. These are great, but heavy for hand-held shooting. I've never used an Aaton, but they have a reputation for being more comfortable to hand-hold for long periods. One warning with the SR1: the early ones have a French motor and are basically un-repairable if anything fails on them. The later SR1s have a German motor and are very similar to the SR2 (and are still repairable).

    Another great video! I used to work a lot of ITT Tech commercials and they were all shot on 16mm, usually an Arri of some sort. Sound was on a Nagra at first but by mid 90s went on to DAT. ON TV sets of that time, it was pretty hard to tell 16 from 35, but the step down to Beta SP was a sheer drop. The video assist taps were awful at first. Grainy b&w that was hard enough to see when camera not running, as soon as it started rolling it flickered horribly as most of the light went to the film. A cat could walk across set and you’d never know from video assist, which was frequently captured on VHS. Eventually color taps came and they reduced the flicker. Ahh, the old days.

    Good very basic breakdown for would-be filmmakers. As someone who has shot with all of the cameras you discuss on this video, and still owns a few today, I'd like to share some more technical notes for you and your viewers. Video taps for instance, can't all be treated the same. It wasn't until the late 90's that video tap's became clear enough to even see things that were in focus or auto correct for exposure. The late generation Aaton tap which is on final production XTR Prod and Xtera is probably one of the best taps made, next to the 416 tap of course. They are flicker free, which means as the spinning mirror rotates and creates a strobing effect in the viewfinder, you won't see that on the tap thanks to a ingenius frame buffer solution. But remember, there are no factory made HD taps for 16mm cameras, so the image still looks like a VHS camcorder at best. A critical feature is camera speed. Very few 16mm cameras can run over 64fps. The pulldown design needs to be made a certain way for it to work and the gate needs to have less friction. Plus for electronic cameras, you need more power the faster you run the camera. The best "normal" camera speed is 75 which is what the Aaton XTR and Arri SR3 have. However, the HS cameras SR3 and 416 can run at 150fps. They have a different pressure plate assembly that helps reduce friction in the gate, but it does mean a less stable image for normal sync sound speed. Another thing to think about is power. Arri up until the SR3 was a 12v company like Aaton. However, after the SRII, they decided to go 24V on all their cameras including the SR3. This means the SR3 batteries are very expensive to re-build and there are no high capacity options. It means the 416 requires a special battery to work OR you're stuck with a battery belt. Aaton on the other hand is 12v and the XTR Prod with a very cheap adaptor can run NP1 batteries, which are cheap because the audio industry uses them nearly exclusively. When discussing camera choices, you've gotta bring up lenses and lens mount. All of the cameras before the SR3 and XTR, had a wide range of mounts from C, to M43rds to aaton to Arri B, the list goes on and on. After the SR3 and XTR, things started to stabilize towards PL mount. The key here is that you can get cheap Arri B and C mount glass, but very few of it will cover super 16 and finding Aaton mount or M43rds mount glass is hard. Remember ANY lens will work, it's just that a decent set of PL lenses will run you several thousand dollars and so will a zoom lens. Where Arri B glass, can be found for less money, but not in super 16. So there is a real tossup for young filmmakers who wish to shoot film on a budget. It's sometimes better to forego super 16 and get an SRII. The later cameras also have much brighter viewfinders. Over the years they switched to a fiber optic system that means there is nearly no loss in the viewfinder. Aaton XTR even goes one step further and allows the user to remove the beam splitter for the video tap if you want the viewfinder to be even brighter. That to me is a great feature because it shows Aaton is thinking about low-light production. Finally, one great feature I love is the built-in light meter so many cameras have. The SR was the first mainstream commercial camera to have it as a feature. Aaton borrowed the idea, updated it to be electronic and has it in their cameras as well. It means you don't need to get a light meter, you can point the camera at your subject and shoot. I've always been impressed with the perfect exposure I get using the built in meter. In the end, a camera is a personal choice. Today sync sound super 16 cameras are very expensive because film has been making a comeback and it's here to stay. I personally have owned nearly all of the major cameras outside of the 416 because they're too damn expensive and Arri's 24v system and accessories are crazy. So I've stuck to Aaton for personal work and the XTR Prod I believe is the best over-all 16mm camera made. It has just enough features to be a weapon on set and not be missing very much. It's light, small, dead silent and doesn't gobble up batteries, even with the tap and monitor running. There isn't much support, but there is SOME here in So Cal, so shipping to here for service is always a possibility. In the end, I love working with these cameras and shooting on 16mm. I'm currently shooting yet another feature on 16 and 35. vimeo.com/315405815

    Honestly I'm really surprised nobody has made a 24v lithium battery solution. You could get that out of six standard 18650 cells and while that might be larger than the original pack size it's really something that could be solved with a bit of work and would power a camera for far longer (and probably less weight) than what I assume would be the original NiMH batteries. Makes me want to try getting a dead pack and take it apart.

    I just picked up a Aaton Aminima this year. One thing I learn is you cannot expect or trying to change the camera but adjust yourself to adapt the camera the smaller little camera is real joy to handheld but lacking of the mounting place or modern video tap. but the more I shoot the more I get used to the operation of the camera. Those are old technology and there are some compromise and quirk.

    I just sniped my first 16mm camera on eBay last week for under $800, and now have an Eclair NPR in hand. While there are inexpensive pro bodies out there, they all end up costing one way or another. I estimate by the time I have it production-ready (cleaned, tapped, ground glass brightened, crystal motor, 15mm rods, etc.) it will have set me back several thousand. That’s just how it is. From what I’ve seen, the single biggest saving is to be had by sticking with regular 16. Springing for Super 16 really jumps up in price. The native cameras are more desirable, and conversions are pricey. I’m planning to DIY a video tap with raspberry pi and self-solve several other aspects like batteries etc. though, which I’m more willing to try on an NPR. If I’d spent the thousands all at once on an SR2, I’d probably be scared to even touch the thing 😂 I suspect I will save big not being shoehorned into PL glass as well. There are satisfactory C-Mount optics around still. And I’m a longtime anamorphic user, so my needs are non-standard in the glass dept. anyway. It also negates the aspect ratio “downside” of not having a Super 16 camera. If anyone has a 15mm rail support solution for the NPR though, that would be very helpful.

It will work on mains power but I would like to refurbish the batteries and shoot a short. I would be happy to collaborate on an assessment of this camera if you would be interested. Cheers!

I am also trained in factory refurbishment of the Bolex line of cameras, which means, i could tear one down on set, fix the problem, and continue shooting, in a short amount of time. To call the Bolex an amateur camera is not very fair. The Bolex allows users of every experience level and can be as professional as you want them to be.

Make sure you've got good batteries in it and grabbing some cheap film like Kodak Gold to start trying it out. Then you can learn if it's all working properly by playing with the different shutter speeds and features! camera-wiki.org/wiki/Olympus_OM2000

    @@UpcomingJedi b&w Normal8/double8 is much cheaper. The films are very cheap in comparison to super8 and the development is the same also digitalizing/telecine is the same cost. Also the cameras are more robust and solid. Super8 cameras are mich more expensive with the right exposure settings and a working motor. I got two very good old Normal/Double8 cameras very good working for around 20€. When I tried to buy cheap super8 cameras there were always a problem with it. I would love to try super8 but cannot afford the expensive cameras which work, neither have the skills to repair it.

    Aaton's are great but since they don't make cameras anymore if something major breaks then it's really hard to get fixed. I have an SR3 which I love. The 416s for whatever reason are like 30K+ to buy right now. Great camera but a bit over rated IMHO. The minima was cool the hardest part now with those cameras isn't even the rolls it's the spools. The specific spools for this camera are limited in terms of how many their are left. That's the bigger issue. Better to rent that one if you really want it but it is a really fun camera.

    I know a collector in Hong Kong that wants to sell many of his items including his film gear. He has amazing things like mint new condition 16mm and 35mm cameras and projectors.. some absolutely like new. Hundreds of them.. I have never seen anything like that actually. The other day we were talking and asking me where would be the best place to list his items for sale.. i only know of eBay but surely there are better markets for this kind of stuff. Any advice? He even has stuff like (to my knowledge) the only last brand new (never used) surviving Elmo LX-2200 16mm projector (including a bunch of new original Toshiba extra replacements 2000W Xenon bulbs). He also has (2) Philips DP70 70mm projectors.. all in new condition like the day they were built. No idea where to list items like that.. and how to ship hahahaha.. monstrous equipment..

    I get the artistic look that some film makers are after. But I was thrown back to hear that modern day TV shows like the TWD and some movies were shot on 16 mil. I wonder why? Is it a cost factor? Or purely artistic? Today shooting in the digital format a film maker could add just about any kind of effect the director wants.

  • @AnalogResurgence

    Unfortunately that’s a pretty big request! I’m not aware of any motion picture camera that’s easy to service and repair yourself unless you happen to be a professional with the right tools. These are complex pieces of gear whether it’s a camera with a spring driven motor like a Bolex or a something higher end like an Arri SR2 so I’m not sure that being able to service and repair yourself is necessarily an option, I would never take a 16mm camera apart with the hope of having it back together properly myself! Sync sound cameras are expensive and working on a tight budget is very difficult. You can look into a Bolex camera like a REX 4 or 5 and then get a Tobin Crystal Sync motor for it. There are sync motors like the Tobin TXM-22A that can be put on An Arri 16S. Maybe the cheapest option is a CP-16R camera. These cameras are also usually not super 16 and something like a bolex would need a conversion done to it. All of these options will likely need a budget of at least $2000 based on how expensive 16mm cameras are.

    It would have been nice, if you stated that no more than 400 feet should be exposed on a nominal 400-ft. portion. The limit prevents overspill of reels. So 400 foot, 40 frames to the foot, gives 16,000 frames that last eleven minutes and six seconds at speed 24 or ten minutes and 40 seconds precisely at 25 fps.

    Pretty much anything professionally shot on 16mm in the last like 40 years was done on Super 16 because it allows for a widescreen image to be exposed on the film. Some popular ones include The Walking Dead, Black Swan, Moonrise Kingdom, Fruitvale Station, Beasts of the Southern Wild, and portions of Vice, First Man, Blackkklansman, Batman V Superman. Regular 16mm cameras are often cheaper to buy though

Most film sets I been on TV including shots on arri mini or arri Alexa and now the arri mini LF. So I have no idea what you’re talking about people still shooting 16 mm professionally. It’s still done but rarely. Also it’s always going to shoot on film not because film is expensive but because the processing back to digital. I love film but you no one is using it much anymore.
