Arnold& Richter Arriflex 16 BL

The Arriflex 16 BL is a 16mm motion picture camera produced by Arnold & Richter (ARRI). It is a self-blimped reflex cine camera designed for synchronous-sound shooting in news, documentary and feature work.

Public auction data for the 16 BL is thin: a single Christie's hammer result from 2003 settled at £1,175, which is a wholesale saleroom figure rather than a dealer asking price. With only one verified sale on file there is no defensible current price band, and what a 16 BL is worth today will depend heavily on completeness of magazines, lenses and accessories rather than the body alone.
