Guest svdodge Posted October 6, 2004 Share Posted October 6, 2004 Hey all, quick question. Does anyone know if one can use Bolex H8 lenses on an H16? I've searched and searched and can't find out what mount is on the H8. Thanks, Sam Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patrick Neary Posted October 6, 2004 Share Posted October 6, 2004 Hey Sam- The only H8 I've seen had what looked like a regular "C-mount", but I'd bet the lenses (which had correspondingly smaller focal lengths) don't cover the 16 frame. I also have to think that if the 5.5mm lens (or whatever it was) on an H8 covered 16, it's the best kept secret in camera-land... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mister X Posted October 6, 2004 Share Posted October 6, 2004 According to A.J. Surgenor's Bolex Guide, (9th ed., pp. 22f.), "The H.8 Reflex takes only specially designed lenses. These have the 1 in. thread, but they cannot be used with any of the other Bolex cameras." They are C-mount. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
