Hello Everyone, I am making a short movie about a little girl and a rabbit and I would appreiate if somebody could guide me on specific lights / equipments to rent for this shot. I want a ambient light around and a soft light coming from the window on the little girl and rabbit. I am shooting with a Bolex EBM 16mm using a Kodak Vision2 200T/ 7217. I have some stills from the room for you to have an idea. Shot 1 I did some manipulation in Photoshop. Also if anybody knows a good place for renting lights in LA please let me know. Thank you very much for your help. Best, Paulo

Thank you everyone for the feed back. Bernie thank you very much for the technical tip, I will try it. Best, Paulo

Hi, No I don't think so, I know that is probably is going to go high than that but still 2,200.00 versus let say 375/400. Are people trying to get as much as they can? p

Hi Everyone, Is there any way that I could record sound on the Bolex EBM without any problems? Does the Bolex company have any solutions? I know about the blimp but I heard that does not work very well either. I s there any other hightec sound proof material out there? another question is what if I decide to buy a brand new one from the Bolex company are they silent enough to record sound? Thank you, Paulo

Hi everyone, I also have a Bolex EBM, and I am looking to get a macro. I look the price on www.chamblesscineequip.com for the Switar 10mm and is $2,200.00. And my question is what is the difference between the $2,200.00 one and the $102.00 on Ebay? Thank you, Paulo

I got it. Yes I put in the wrong way, the concave was out far way from the gate. Thank you so much for your help!

First of all thank you for you guys respoding to my question, I appreciate very much. I didn't know about the diopter. That is just for the our eyes or acctually affect the camera viewport? The c mount adapter, where you see the letters printed on the (metal) adapter "C mount adapter" I mouted that facing the camera or I could say the lens were on the opposite side of the letters engraved on the metal. My other lens is the original "POE" and is perfect the camera is like new. Thank you! First of all thank you for you guys respoding to my question, I appreciate very much.

Hello people, I own a Bolex EBM, and this last weekend I rent a 10mm c mount. Throught my view finder I couldn't see anything everything was blured. The lens just have the f-stop and the distance in foot. Am I missing anything, is that right? Thank you!!!

Hi Nathan, I have a Bolex EBM with the 400 mag, do you think is possible for me to load a 200 spool on a 400 mag. I think would be ok right? Thank you, Paulo

Hi Jonathan, Thank you for sharing your experience, acctually that is the question that I want to know, if it is worth it, unless of course if you get some awesome price. Paulo

Hi Nathan, Thank you, I will check it out. You are right it will be a pain in the neck! Paulo

I forgot to ask : Do you guys know any way that I could buy, for example, 1200 feet of film and roll it on 100 feet spools? Is that something that people do? Can I do in the bathroom with a green light? Do I have to buy any equipment to roll the film? Paulo

Hey Guys, Thank you, this is the coolest site everrrrrrrrrr....... I just notice on the label, the thing is; in the other ones (non reversal) labels, they are on big bold letters ex:500T. -Paulo

Hi Everyone, This is probably a stupid question, I did seach but I can not find it. Where can I find the film speed for the reversal Tri-X 7278 (I don't know if is B&W or color) and the Tri-X 7266 black & white? Thank you, Paulo

Tim, Thank you very much for your help. I will practice for a couple of weeks and I will let you know how it goes. I cann't wait, I am very excited, hope the camera doesn't have a shutter bounce. - Paulo
