CLA'd Siemens CII 16mm Film Cine Camera, Meyer Optimat f/1.5 20mm, 4x film cass

This is my vintage Siemens CII 16mm Film Cine Camera with Meyer Gorlitz Optimat f/1.5 2cm lens, in working condition. Camera has been serviced, spring motor is strong, and runs well. Comes with 4x rare reloadable film cassettes for single perf 16mm film. Lens is clean and clear, as is viewfinder (some dust). Rangefinder patch is contrasty and focuses very well. I tried in vein to get a good, clear pic through the viewfinder. It doesn't show the rangefinder patch very well, but when viewed through in person, it is contrasty and easy to focus. Focus and aperture is smooth, matching body and pressure plate serial numbers. I used this as a smaller, more portable option for when I didn't want to carry around my bulky, and heavy bolex.

The integrated rangefinder allows accurate focusing, and framing is quite good. The viewfinder automatically adjusts/accommodates for parallax as you focus.

All film cassettes are usable, and are pretty simple-ish to load in a darkroom once you get the hang of it. Loads are somewhere around 33 feet (10m) - I never precisely measured, but would fill 3 cassettes from a 100' film roll. They're good for about 45 seconds at 16 fps. The cassettes are a breeze to change. Please see pics to assess cosmetic condition.

Pictured are a few random frames I took with this camera. I don't have a proper light table, so the light source was just a white background on a tablet, so you can see the lined pattern of the tablet's surface. The actual footage obviously doesn't have this pattern. Stock used was wittner chrome 200d, home processed E6.
