About this item The Kern Paillard Yvar 16mm f/2.8 AR is a classic Swiss-made wide-angle cine lens designed for 16mm motion picture cameras. Manufactured by the renowned Kern-Paillard for Bolex systems, this lens is celebrated for its compact all-metal construction and high-quality Swiss optics. The "AR" designation indicates an anti-reflective coating, which helps to maintain excellent contrast and color fidelity. Its standard C-mount makes it compatible with a wide range of vintage cinema cameras, as well as modern mirrorless digital cameras via an inexpensive adapter. Condition: This vintage lens is in general good condition for its age. The glass elements are clear and, as confirmed, are free from fungus, haze, or heavy scratches. The mechanical rings (focus and aperture) operate as intended. Please note that while the optics are clear, there may be very minor internal dust specks or faint cleaning marks typical of a lens of this era, which do not affect image quality. What you get: Main unit with front and rear caps and original Kern leather case as pictured. No other accessories included. Please review every photo for a close look at the condition. Everything is fully inspected and covered by eBay's 30-day money back guarantee, so you can buy with confidence. Why you'll love it Swiss-made precision optics by Kern-Paillard.
