Bolex Service Workshop Amsterdam

[Dom Jaeger]

I‘m just putting out some feelers to see if there might be any interest in a 2 or 3 day Bolex Service Workshop for people in the EU or UK. It would be held in Amsterdam in January 2026, conducted by myself, a professional camera/lens technician with 20 years experience working on Bolexes.

I’m often asked where people can learn movie camera maintenance, perhaps this is one way to pass on some knowledge. 

My thoughts were that people could bring a camera they want serviced, plus some tools, and we can go through the process together. 

Ideally it would be people who have tinkered with a Bolex before, but want to have a deeper understanding of how their camera works and what an overhaul procedure entails. 

Feel free to message me or email cinetinker@gmail.com if interested.

I'd buy a video of it.

You got mail. I'd so be in!

If I lived in Europe I would definitely attend as my H16 is my go to camera. Photos, instructions, and video would be great to document for repairs and maintenance you do frequently that could be made available for a fee?

I'd be interested in a workshop in Melbourne Dom, if you do them. Though I've never tinkered on a Bolex.

Would be interested in a video as well (if someone is willing to record such an event)

HI Not based in Eu so would be amazing If there a video of this.

I suspect a US version of this would be popular and well attended.

Maybe a world tour with T-shirts and everything.
