Herb hooked it up...thanks! I'll post some pics in a bit.

Hey, I bought my Som Berthiot 70 without the viewfinder, and I had to dig alittle bit There is a ebay seller called Sales Barron, who (for better or worse) sells his Som Berthiots and their viewfinders individually. Check them out. They had it listed at $100, but I called them and they ended up selling it to me for like $30. Good luck!

Again, I just purchased a Lindahl Shade which was intended for a still camera, however, It can adapt to any size lens and even works on my giant Pan Cinor 70 with has a OD of 70mm+ Also they are cheap. I bought mine for $10 plus shipping on ebay. They also sell tiffen adapters for the filter slot. It has bellows and is light weight...great for lens mounted matte boxes...this was the one I purchased and I couldnt be happier with it. http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewI...em=290280453789

Yeah I've been on the lookout for an Iris Vingetter for the last year. and they seem to be more than ellusive. Herb, thanks for the email.

Herb I sent you a message. ...awesome! It seems that one I was watching disappeared from ebay.

If its a reflex camera you should get what you see through the viewer. So long as the lens is adjusted to the bolex...

Yeah saw that guy...watching it. I really would love the base that Herb mentioned. The adapter that can adapt the matte box, although my real need is to stabilize my Bolex on the tripod. With my lens and various other attachments, it is worrying me to have t teetering on that little round base. I'll buy that one if it stays cheap. Other wise I might just ask a friend in a machine shop to whip me up something similar.

Yeah I thought the same thing. I think on some of the models, you cant even close the door unless you release the loop formers. It think one of mine allows it to shut and one doesnt.

Thanks a ton! That really helped me out!

Look around for cheap lens mounted filter/matte boxes. I know that Lindahls are light and fairly inexpensive.

I've been diggin around and keeping my eyes peeled on ebay, but maybe someone on here can sell me their extra or unused BOLEX FLAT BASE ADAPTER....thanks.

My question was answered in the Bolex Forum...this lens takes series 8 drop in filters. Thanks.

poop, they are threadless? I;m going to do some research on them. Thanks a ton!!

So they have a 63mm thread?

If you can float a little extra dough, you can buy a sync Super 8 from www.pro8mm.com here in LA. They are Beuleau's ...but they adapt the gate and have sync sound. They are a little pricey but reliable buys.

Hello Bolex friends! So I love my H16 with a Pan Cinor lens. But, It is too long for the stock Bolex Matte Box, and it is a round base camera, so I would need the flat base adapter to even connect a Matte Box should I buy one. So I have been digging around to find a light LENS END filter holder. I've found a couple nice cheap and light options, but I cant FOR THE LIFE OF ME find a 65mm step ring. The Pan Cinor 70 has 65mm threads. I bought a 67mm just to see if it could work, but alas...no dice. Has any one had any experience with this issue. I cant find 62mm, I can find 67mm...but no 65mm???? Anyone have any ideas or MacGuyer style DIY's? Thanks,.

What is there not to understand? I need a 65mm step ring. It's obvious you cant help...so don't. Cokin DOES NOT sell a 65mm step ring.

This is the actual filter holder I would like: http://cgi.ebay.com/Mamiya-Gel-Gelatin-Fil...p3286.m20.l1116 77mm thread size. Although I would be happy with ANY 65mm step up.... I cant find 65mm anything?!?!?

Thanks for the tip. The problem is that that clamp is for a 65mm exterior diameter. I am trying to adapt a Pan Cinor 70 (Som Berthiot) on my bolex. (see picture below) The lens is a 65mm and the exterior diameter is about 70mm. I would like to adapt either this Cokin Type Filter (more for mattes and vingetting) http://cgi.ebay.com/Filter-Holder-Adapter-...93%3A1|294%3A50 or this filter system: http://cgi.ebay.com/Filter-Holder-Adapter-...93%3A1|294%3A50 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ I've dug long and deep for something that would work and I'm at a loss. The other issue being that the focus is controlled at the end of the lens, so anything that would be adapted would rotate as I focus. So weight and bulk can and will be an issue.

So , I know the answer to my question already...no one makes 65mm step rings. But, why does NO ONE make them? I want a 65mm to 77mm step up ring for a lens attachment to my Som Berthiot 70 lens for my bolex. Answers? Solutions? ....appreciated.
