I have an H16 reflex bolex camera since yesterday, I would be very happy, but I have some problem running the film. After I loaded the film, I realised when I push the record button, not only the take up spool - motor starts to turn but also the supply spool motor. The effect is that the supply film starts to run down from the spool, and make a huge kaos in the camera. Im using newer cameras usually, and my experience that only the take up spool should run by the engine, the supply spool usually drag by the take up spool motor. If i stop and control the rolling of the supply by hand, the film is running well. Maybe my day light spool is too small? it not fill the hole entire space. But, anyway, why this supply spool motor runing by engine? it should be run free! I dont have the handbook for the camera. please write me if u know the answer! Thanks a lot Gergo ( Hungary

Hello, I just got my Bauer 508A camera, which is read only 40 or 160 films, that?s why I have to use my external light meter if I want to shoot on 64T, triX and 500T. If I know well, my camera has a variable shutter, but I don?t have any fact about the angles,its not written on the camera, and I don?t have the manual, but I think its 180 when its totally open (?) In that case, on 18 fps I can use 1/36, and 24 fps I can use 1/48. Is it right or there is something else I have to take attention? Maybe some light loosing in the viewfinder, I don?t know. How can I do the most exact lightmetering? If somebody has an English manual for this camera pleas email me! thanx
