Luca Bonicalza Posted December 19, 2024 Share Posted December 19, 2024 Hi everybody, I would like to share here with the forum my last job about Bolex h16 rex 1 to 5 conversion to super 16. My aim was to preserve the turret functionality and definetly also the bolex camera style. Because of that I've rebuilted the front plate, offcentering the turret axis so that each mout will be centered with the optical axis. New gate was required too, and new sprokets also. This conversion have no light leakage at all, do you like it? Do you have more suggestion for that project? Thank you very much and best regards to everybody!

Premium Member Simon Wyss Posted December 19, 2024 Premium Member Share Posted December 19, 2024 I can tell by the photo that the aperture is not wide enough. Is it according to ISO 5768? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luca Bonicalza Posted December 19, 2024 Author Share Posted December 19, 2024 Yes it's large enought, ISO 5768 requires 12,35mm and this is slight larger, as you can see from this other picture Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
