Bolex Reflex Camera

[Gregory Irwin]

Hi all…

Does anyone know who and where one can have a spring wound, Bolex reflex camera converted from standard 16mm to super 16? Many thanks!

Not your usual camera choice Greg.. ?

There are only a few options left that I'm aware of.

Jean-Louis Seguin, who posts here sometimes, is the best Bolex tech I know, and does excellent conversions, but I believe he is semi-retired now so may not be taking on new jobs. You could ask him though:  bolextech@gmail.com

Otherwise there is Dr Bolex, who also posts here sometimes as Arthur Sanchez: https://www.drbolex.com/super-16mm

Or Cameraspro, whose conversions seem OK from the one or two I've seen: https://bolexsuper16.com/

Across the pond in the UK there is a company that converts Bolexes called Stecica:  https://www.stecica.com/

Unfortunately I can't recommend Les Bosher anymore.

Thanks Dom! I appreciate you. This is for a young filmmaker who just purchased one and was asking me about it. I’ll pass on your info!
