Some time ago there was a Bolex SBM being sold at ebay that apparently was in a metal bag with swamp like foam. The camera body looked like these ducks after a petroleum boat leak Bad situation and i would like to hear the comments of the guy who cleaned it. So the door compartment is a good case. You could diy repair but also i think its not expensive to have it repaired.

This camera seems and feels weird when you shoot mostly super 8. Very lightweight, compact toy-like, and yes fun, with good results (as seen to the link of Mr Giles Perkins). I always end up buying super 8 film so mine is still untested. Great short by the way!! ;-)

Ive had similar adventures with a locam 51 camera.I found a 19 pin deutsch connector and with a 30 volt battery its going to run. But i was wondering can i synch a light strobe (old one)with the camera? anyone that knows help is appreciated thank you

Hey Gencer Hassan! Insist with that camera, study this forum and soon you ll start having great results! Dont go for a simpler one, but before that make sure your camera functions properly. And also heres a link where you can find the instructions manual of your camera in case you dont have it! http://www.mondofoto.com/manuals/ Alexandros

Hello For sale Eumig Nautica Zoom sets (6 sets available) 12 Euros each set + Shipping Mint condition probably never used

Yes good link. So they use almost everything.

I ve done my research here about "skip bleach" and "bleach bypass" i will go one more to completely understand things out. thank you again for your help

Thank you for the answers Well im not sure which season is being shown here in greece. ill have to check it but the opening titles are the same i think between seasons anyway what i see and i dont know how to explain it is that the highlights are burnout the contrast a bit high but still the color saturation looks normal. so i thought it was skip bleach used but still i was expecting desaturated image. anyway it must be complex to understand because i think they use lots of post to their footage. i searched the forum and found some info about skip bleach and also i have seen for example Amores Perros which has scenes that have skipped bleach.any other movie i could see?? im trying to see if skip bleach is the right way to go for a micro budget short im self processing. thank you

Hello! If anyone watches Cold case series i have some questions? what medium is it shot with? some scenes look like 16mm also if it is with film do they use skip bleach process? or this look is something else? thank you

hello maybe you already have this but i thought maybe it could help you good luck with your shooting and if you want share with us some results .aspect185.pdf

Seeing this picture doesnt help much.Excect the bad plastic finish (which maybe (??) doesnt affect shooting) all we can see is a difference in the presure plate which is still plastic but solid without the kodak bumps. Is that enough? Its a patend and maybe we cannot see the inside parts before buying one(the first buyer and user if kind enough should send us some pics) I would like to see if there is some better mechanism behind that gate comparing to kodaks metal thingy which most of the times works great

Well it looks like sweet or something you can eat.! any update if it is reloadable or only sold with GK-Film film? (im going to get something to eat)

maybe you forget to remove the lock screw,(the cap like one)the silver with the red outline. also maybe because it hasnt been removed for long unscrew the lens via its silver round mount with patience and force not too little not too much. hope that helps

So i have some questions and this thread is similar. to sum up for a bolex RX is there anything else than the century adapter to use? The Century 5.7mm f 1.8 c mount lens has also the ussual problems caused by the prism? thank you

If you check his site there are many interesting (disturbed acording to others hehe ;-) ) stuff i like his work

Hello a little bit off topic but since you mentioned it i have a question how can someone estimate the age of the film using the batch code number?

My mom sais im not allowed anymore to surf in the cinematography.com lol now really very nice footage.

Yes shooting one of all 4 as a test is the ideal, so that you can see yourself what is best for you. what i think is that the 200t stock is the most forgiving one. Tri x is grainy (even more as i home process it) and its wonderfull , to my eyes its grainer than the 500t. thats why my cameras overexpose 500t more than Tri X. when it comes to comparing the b/ws with the color ones its difficult because the b/w films are reversal and the color are negatives.

Comparing the frame with 35mm stills when wide open the 16mm frames seem to be a little better! maybe because the frame is at the center of the lens so better result etc. So that viewfinder prism again, Nick Mulder, right? Well i quess we settle down with our cameras special charecteristic and as you people of the forum have numerous times suggested TEST TEST TEST. thank you again for your help.

Hey Matthew W. Phillips!!! Very good results once again. but are you sure balsa is strong?I used it for models back when i was in architecture school and it was like butter.maybe it has to do with variety of balsas i dont know. Also i have the same question like Dan Salzmann, about the aluminium support blocks. Maybe its not so difficult, expensive to consider another prototype with aluminium. Good job there and keep us posted

Well i will check again the negatives to see those infinity shots cause i never thought infinity would be a problem.About the m42 lenses i knew that problem but for still cameras.well not only. On my next test i will measure precisely the distanse of the subject to compare it to the lenses distance marks. In my first i relied on the viewfinder only.

Hello I bought a c mount adapter and now i can use my nikon lenses with my bolex (nikon brand adapter) i read here cinematography that the lenses need to be collimated. My test roll shows no problems except with the 50mm when wide open 1.4 it is a bit soft but still acceptable(for me). If i dont collimate the lens is that a big problem? Thank you

Hello I am tranfering film at home with a variable speed projector off the wall for preview.So far i had success with color positive film and with b/w positive and negative the problem comes when i try to transfer color negative.the orange base is the problem.is there any filter (for premier) or other method i could use ? i think that with a camera tha color corrects could do something but dont have one thank you
