Hi Randall

Still for sale by any chance?

Thanks

Simon

I have one available for sale if you're interested.

I have a few of these. How much do they go for these days?

Is this still available?

Workaround if you can't find any:

Get Sony's XQD to SxS adapter, all B&H reviews say it works equally well.

I don't think that would work in the Alexa. https://forum.arri.com/viewtopic.php?f=46&t=147

3 or 4 perf? Might be interested.

 

Hi Robin,

 

just thought you should know, the Switar (and any other lens marked RX) is designed to compensate for the optical aberrations introduced by the prism, but not the light loss. The iris markings relate to the lens alone. You should calculate your exposure the same for every lens.

 

You're absolutely right and with that I did another test that came out perfect. THANKS!!

 

This video is nothing more than a montage of 16mm short ends (daylight loaded) I shot to setup my lightmeter for the Bolex prism ⅔ adapt for light loss compensation. The speed motor of the EBM held it's sync all the way through the day and night in -24℃. -2/3 on the meter is perfect for this camera. The night shots were a little underexposed but all I had was a 1.6. film was scanned with Spirit HD and deliverables were Quicktime uncompressed 8bit.

 

The stocks I used were Kodak's 50D and 500T.

 

Vision Globale :) they do 2K They scanned for the film "Starbuck" clean tranfers!!

Did you compensate for the beamsplitter light-loss? If your footage is all about one stop too dark that would be the reason.

 

I did for the Canon but the switar preset is already designed with the prism in mind. I think it was a bad use of the stupid app. I tested a sekonic next to the iphone app and its all wrong.

Thanks guys. I'm really happy the camera works.

 

I had to push the blacks a little in post. I used the iphone app called pocket lightmeter to figure out my exposure.. bad idea. it's really not accurate. I'll do another test with a Sekonic next week.

 

Nicholas that film is lovely! I don't think they sell double perf 50D anymore. I could only find single perforated. I shot at 24ps and the slowmotion a 50fps. the EBM doesnt offer 48 or 60 unfortunately. maybe Fuji still has double. not sure though.

I bought a Bolex EBM a couple months ago without a lens or battery. I got a battery and switch made by Du-All Camera, a Bolex bayonet to canon FD mount by JK camera and I bought a Bayonet to c-mount adapter on ebay. For glass I got a canon FD 24mm 2.8 and a switar 10mm 1.6 preset. Finally went ahead and put some kodak 50D through it last week and sent the film off to technicolor.

 

enjoy.

I recently switched s16 to dslr ..Here's a short I just just shot on the 7d.

I think the low light shots at the end turned out great..

 

 

It's sad to see snowboard movies to digital now.. I'm glad that Pirate Movie Productions still films in 16. BTW I'm a big fan of your work and you have one of my dream jobs. If you need someone to help you out that stills films in super 16 I am your man ;)

This has been awhile and sorry for not responding. Ya the shots came out soft unfortunately. I have no idea why. I recently bought a Bolex EBM getting it converted to Super 16 I'll post another test film soon.

I'm getting the Redrock DSLR rig. I need suggestions on how to mount the RR Mattebox on my bolex EBM. Anyone care to share?

 

Thanks!

Hi

 

This was shot this winter in sweden using a Bolex rex-4 super 16 scanned to HD.

Perfect! I purchased one. Also, I Pm'd you about a super16 conversion.

 

Thanks,

www.Jkcamera.com sells FD adaptors for bolex bayonet mounts...

 

:o :o LINK PLEASE??

haha ok so I'm trying to mount an array of FD lenses on My bolex EBM. I already own a bayonet to c-mount adapter from Bolex. I was wondering if I could mount an FD to C-mount adapter to it like this one:

Any drawbacks or issues if I go this route instead of having one fabricated?

 

Thanks :)

Hey all,

 

I recently acquired a Bolex EBM and a Rex-5 plus motor and was trying to find a site or someone who had a power source or two I could use to hook up to these monsters. Do not have XLR conversions or anything on them, just the original connections. Help!

 

Thanks

 

Erik

 

Bump for answer!

very nice! thankyou for the quick information!

Please help me out.

 

I'm buying a Bolex EBM and I'm in need of an external power source. does anyone make these for the bolex?

 

Thanks!

 

Robin.
