I shoot on flim and I do not have that problem and I will never get any problem in the future !

We convert Bolex, Eclair etc, to Ultra 16mm or Super 16mm . Ultra 16 is kind of better than super 16mm! Cheaper to convert and no risk to get dust on the top and bottom of the image! Also, you can use all 16mm lenses. You will get a 1:8 aspect ration like 35mm! Also, if you edit your film, you can edit in 'A 'roll instead of A& B rolls.Both S16 and U16 loose the sound track. No problem if you use 16mm interlock projector or if you transfer your film to digital. More info, please contact guycameraspro@gmail.com or cameraspro@cox.net We convert almost any camera for almost 20 years

Giorgio You said that the camera was never used and on the board, you said that the film looks great. I do not understand. I do not remember the camera, but it's possible. We made so many conversions! If you find a prism. You have to remove the front of the camera and remove the little plate on the top and you will see the top prism. You have to remove the viewfinder . Change the prism and put the new one in the right position ,put back the front and the viewfinder. That's it. After that, you have to re-seal the camera and adjust the claw, film frame etc... or your film will lose the loop . Guy

Giorgio Donot try to remove the front prism! You will never be able to put it back in the right position without the Bolex colimator Guy

Posted 08 February 2005 - 08:35 PM All. Got an email from Mr. Bodart. I no longer require any help, but thank you all anyway for reading my message. Best, BR PS: Mr. Bodart's services are excellent, as are his rates. A top recommend! Read more: http://www.cinematography.com/index.php?showtopic=4886#ixzz1DdzhqYqP

If you find some metal parts outside the camera, what can you find inside??? You call that a nice job!Lol. Cameraspro

I talk to Dieter 2 days ago and he told me that Jakko (JK Meritex) will stop his business ..He did not know when yet. I also receive cameras from Dieter. He is not always happy with the collimation /viewfinder from JK and has to redo it. You must know what's going on before to incriminate the equipment or the technicians. Do not forget that those cameras have more than 30 yeas olds...By the wat, Visual Product uses cameraspro for conversions. They are real pros. Trust me.Bolex Switzerland will not stay in business either and they are expensive. Shelton is closing, Optical Electro House will close too...Who will stay in business??

Why you did not send the camera to Cameraspro? The conversion comes with 6 months warranty. Comming here to cry is not the solution. I also received cameras converted from Les Bosher, JK and Bernie. The problem with the JK conversion is the prism. The glue is melting under high temperature and your viewfinder is OFF. I told Dieter about that. Bolex Switzeland doesn't glue anything on the prism. The viewfinder doesn't need any marking. THe cameraspro conversion shows you the projected picture inside the viewfinder and you can clean the prism without any problem. No dust infiltration is possible. If Cameraspro is so bad why the big productions are working with him. We only have problems with amateurs because they cannot take good care or use their camera the way it must be. Tell me what kind of problem and the reason why tou did not contact Cameraspro to fix it under warranry...Maybe you drop the camera...And you did not want Cameraspro to see that ! There is no secret on how to convert a Bolex orEclair to Super 16mm. You cannot have any problem if you use it properly. If my conversions are good enough for Sonny Miller , his crew and the James Bond movie...I think you have a problem and not the camera Thanks Guy Cameraspro

Hello I am Guy from Cameraspro! Do not worry, I am in business and well. THe problem I had was a health problem (Fybromalgia and tachyarythmia. I was in so bad shape for almost 6 years that I was not able to keep my promisses and delay . Brian doesn't have to panic. His camera is done, but always for the same problem, I was unale to post it. He was not decided on his viewfinder either. So, we wasted time. And I had other stuffs to do. Yes, I own a casket company too http://www.versaillescasket.com and also we started and auction http://www.walybi.com ( pleasee joint it, it's free) ameraspro is alive and well. We are working on a new website too. You are right, I came back from Europe and the Cameraspro site was down, because the server Ixwebhosting did not renew the site automaticaly. But it's working fine now David Wilkinson, you can write to me again the site is working Sorry about all that, but everything is ok! Thanks a lot for you patience and understanding Guy Bodart CAMERASPRO.COM

The best EBM batteries are made by Cameraspro . And they are the most powerful too! 2200mAmps ! It's twice the power of a Bolex one. Cameraspro is making those batteries for Procam Bolex Dealer in the US and JK Enginering Meritex .They also have a 1200mAmps. They are MH-HI. No memory! You can also buy directely from Cameraspro! Just ask for Guy. He knows his job! http://www.cameraspro.com guy@cameraspro.com

Dear Jaakko I read your post with great interest. Iknow that you convert Super 16 Bolex cameras. But what you do not know that I learned to do it with ARC a Belgian company that lauched Super 16mm conversion on the market .It was in the 70's. They were ( And myself) formed by the the gy who invented theSuper 16mm format. At that time, the US did not know about super 16mm conversion. What you do not know either that Cameraspro was the first one to shift the complete turret assemby to use your 3 lens mounts in Super 16mm positin. At that time, you were only offering just one lens mount on Super 16mm position. On all those point we were and are in the first position. Bolex doen't use a Super 16 marked groundglass but only the full super 16 frameare displays in the viewfinder. One other think, you do not need a 13x viewfinder to have a good result to shoot super 16mm. A 10x viewfinder works very well if the job is well made. Now, about Dieter from Procam, maybe he did not tell you the truth or you did not write the right think. Because he is sending me customers for super 16 conversions. He is a very good technician .So, he made the repairs for us. Same as Mike Casey from visual Products. It's a big professinal company.

B)--> QUOTE(Steven B @ May 20 2005, 10:19 AM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}> New info came to light just today! Procam in Arizona does a semi in house conversion, circa $1000 for an SBM (I guess they sub it out), and Chambless does one for about the same price, in house. JKcamera is about the same price as well, and includes a viewfinder upgrade, even on the 13x... I guess he bumps it up to 14? Cameraspro is slightly cheaper, and I've heard both good and bad. Steven Hi You can heard good and bad from anybody, Procam, Du All, Chambless, JK and Cameraspro. All I know that we are making a great job and + --80% of the Super 16mm made in the USA are made by CAMERASPRO. Repair are always made by Dieter that I consider as a very good friend and the best Bolex technician in the US I can tell you that CAMERASPRO was the first one to introduce the 3 lens mounts able to be used on Super 16mm. JK, at that time used only one lens mount to shoot super 16mm We at CAMERASPRO, we are doing the same conversion that Bolex Switzerland made. The 3 lens turret are super 16mm . JK is right about the pressure plate. He doesn't have to be replaced But I saw one camera made by JK an I did not like the system that he is using to fix the ground glass onthe prism. Ilive in Las Vegas and a customer sent me a Super 16 made by JK because h had problem with ground glass. The problem was that the heat melted the black glue used by JK and the ground glass was not able to stay at the right place. We work with all professinal for many years. I am a DP, Film Director you can find my name on the internete "Guy Bodart" My first set was "Onve upon a time in the West" a Sergio Leone film, with Bronson, Fonda, Claudia Cardinale and Jason Robarts. Tony Delli Colli was my mentor. He won and Oscar for "The life is beautiful" It's to tell you that I know what a cameraman needs. And I van give it to him. Because it's my job. I am not only a technician. I am a cinematographer! We work with Ducovery Chanell, Sonny Miller (Last James Bond movie with Pierce Brosnan), National Geographic and of course with pros and Cinema scholl all over the world. Why? Because we are the best to convert those cameras. About my friend Dieter, I can assure you that he send me customers when they need Super 16mm. Just call him BOLEX-USA.COM I made his web site!). Or call Mike Casey from Visual product and you will see if I am right or not! I want to thanks all my customers for their business! Best regards Guy Bodart http://www.cameraspro.com

CAMERASPRO is working with the best film makers in the US. They have great price for conversion. And unlike Less Bosher, Cameraspro make a complete conversion!!! B)--> QUOTE(Steven B @ May 20 2005, 09:44 AM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I've been from one end of the internet to the other, tossed back and forth on waves of indecision, inquired of most of the experts in the known universe for the answer to this question: Who does the best Bolex conversion to Super in the US? Please feel free to chime in here. I've been researching the heck out of it and mostly I only hear from people who saw Cameraspro's convincing website, or JKcamera's. Andrew Alden said to ask Tobin, who said he didn't have any personal experience with any of them either. The three US authorized Bolex people, Chambless, Procam, and... what's that other one... all send the camera to the factory for conversion at seemingly exorbitant prices. Please chime in here if you have experience with this. Who is the Les Bosher of the United States? Hopefully we can solve this mystery once and for all. Thanks, Steven San Francisco PROCAM doesn't make any conversion at all. Procam send the cameras to Switzerland or to CAMERASPRO Chambless have no technician and send the cameras to Switzerland or to JK CAMERASPRO is the best one in the US. He works for almost all professionals, National Geographic etc... B)--> QUOTE(Steven B @ May 20 2005, 10:19 AM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}> New info came to light just today!
