Its speed is variable from 1 to 75 fps, and its mirror shutter can be manually adjusted from 45 to 180 degrees. A completely new lightweight ergonomic design, integrated electronic accessories and compatibility with the same lenses and accessories used by its 35 mm siblings make the 416 the most powerful, flexible and portable Super 16 camera ever built.Visit the Arri 416 website |

Bell & Howell 100′ Roll Cameras: Bell & Howell began manufacturing 16mm cameras in about 1924. Their “70 Series” Cameras (AKA “Filmo”) continued production into the 1970’s with few modifications.Many pre-WWII 70-Series Cameras required 2R Film, as did some of their 1920s-vintage 16mm projectors. Later cameras (most of what is in use today) can run 1R Film, but the customer must determine for sure, whether or not their camera has a second row of teeth on the drive sprockets. |

Bolex: It is difficult to categorize Bolex cameras as to 1R vs. 2R requirements. About 90% of these machines are designed to run 1R Film. There are some that, like the Bell & Howells, are “pre-war” and will need 2R unless they are modified (not a big job, by the way). As a rule, if the Bolex in question is a “Reflex” Model, it should run 1R. The customers must determine their own needs, as with the Bell & Howell Cameras. Visit the Bolex website |
