Roy Baake Posted May 31, 2009 Share Posted May 31, 2009 I have a late model SBM that I'm considering converting to super 16...However, I've heard some horror stories while reading old post. I am considering either JKCamera or perhaps Jean in Canada. Does anyone have any experience with these people? I was very surprised that this topic has not been discussed here before...at least I didn't see anything. Thanks Roy B. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi Roy, please change your name to first and last name as per forum rules. Thanks! And I'm quite sure we did talk about S16 conversion for Bolexes. Where you at? Cheers, Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My strong suggestion is the Bolex factory in Switzerland - not the cheapest or most convenient but in my experience a very good conversion. I have had problems with conversions done in the U.S. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've considered Bolex, but I just cant justify the price. It seem there of plenty of good conversions out there that were not done a the factory.

I am considering either JKCamera or perhaps Jean in Canada. Does anyone have any experience with these people? I have an EBM that was converted to Super 16 by JK. Zero problems, the conversion is excellent. I've also heard great things about Jean's conversions. Elliot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andres victorero Posted June 17, 2009 Share Posted June 17, 2009 Les Bosher (UK) did my EBM conversion to Super 16. Great work and great tech Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
