Bolex stuff- H-16 RX-3, 4, or 5 wanted

[Annie Wengenroth]

I am looking for a Bolex H-16 body, preferably a rex-3, 4, or 5. A Rex-2 in good shape would be okay too but I'd like to eventually have the option for the 200 or 400' mag and the motor if I so choose. I'm cool with spending up to about 500 on this for a 4 or 5 model, but beyond that I'd have to think about it. My current rx-3 body is ailing and I was told it was cost upward of 400 bucks to fix it. Considering I bought the whole package for not much more than that, I'm not sure I want to spend that much, so I'm looking into just replacing the body and keeping the lenses I have. It would also be cool to get a pistol grip.

 

As far as selling, I have some Bolex odds and ends that I don't need. I have a set of gelatin filters (the ones that go behind the lens in the little frames); there are 5 of them in a case. I'll take $50 for these. I also have 2 backwind cranks which I will sell for $25 each.

 

So if anybody is interested in some Bolex goodies or if they want to work out some sort of trade, please let me know either through email, private message, or replying here. I also have a 75mm Switar lens I might part with but I'm not sure yet; I will keep you posted.
