It seems that is a Supreme (rotating turret with folding lever). Deluxe : Supreme :

Natural color ? It seems to me that the colors shown in this video are outrageously saturated and unnatural.

I thought that there were screws hidden under the metal label. After unstuck the metal label, I realized that there was no hidden screws. :huh: This left only one way: After removing the stack of discs, washers and spring from the crown of indications, I found the two screws holding the two shells assembled. The thing that was moving in the meter was a broken piece of a shell (a piece of thread from one of the screws, precisely).

I just bought a Bolex light meter (for H Reflex). It works well but there is "something" inside that moves and makes noise. How can we disassemble this exposure meter? I removed all visible screws, but the two black plastic shell will not separate. Do you have an idea of ​​how to disassemble the meter?

Are the Kern Paillard Bolex bayonet mount for the latest Bolex camera, directly compatible with older C-mount cameras by removing the three screws of the bayonet (with no other changes)?

Thank you. I prefer like this… :)

What is the aperture correction to be made on a Bolex H16 Reflex when using — for example — a C-Mount > Nikon adapter? C-Mount flange focal distance: 17.526 mm Nikon flange focal distance: 46.5 mm

I bought one for € 226 (≈ $ 305) with a Optivaron. eBay

For less than $400, you can easily buy on eBay the best camera and the best optics, eg a Leicina Special with a Optivaron zoom or a Cinegon. You can also buy cameras as good or better for much less, eg a Zeiss Ikon Moviflex GS8.

I acquired a Bolex H16 Reflex (1957) with three lenses SOM Berthiot Cinor (Cinor 10 mm f/1.9 RX, Cinor RX 25 mm f/1.4 and Tele-Cinor 75 mm f/2.5). It seems that everything is in very good condition, but the adjustment ring distance of the lenses are very difficult to turn. I guess it is the original grease which has dried. How can we fix this?

With ebay, you can buy in the world.

Many people still use the Super 8? I fear that this is not the case. As for development "at home", it will still remain a small minority of fans. It is not enough only to develop (with chemicals prohibitively expensive), it is also necessary to dry the film free from dust. This requires an installation already substantial. But it is true that the Chinese could produce low-cost developing tanks (but they are not interested in “the niches market”. What is missing really, it is the reels adapted to these films.

Pro8 cartridges do not have notches?

To correct the differences in brightness of the subject, one can use a gray card or white diffuser cap.

Thank you for that answer. I also thought the solution of neutral density filter, but it's very inconvenient. I bought several cameras for each model (3 or 4). Either the automatic exposure system does not work at all. Either it works so winded and obviously false. They will be therefore museum objects.

Exposure: With a Super 8 Cartridge in the camera, the diaphragm dial varies from 1 to 2 values​​. Filter: Of course, there was an internal filter. Otherwise the rotation of the wheel 10 would have no effect. For example: “Sun” position: 8 “Lamp” position: 11 “Moon” position: 5.6 “Night” position: 8 Screw size: The screw is standard (1/4 inch). It attaches great. But there may be an internal mobile thread which is gone. The base seems designed for quick system attach (groove).

If the normal focal length is equal to the diagonal of the image, then in Super 8, the normal focal length is 7 mm (43 mm in 24 x 36). 6 mm correspond to 35 mm. 70 mm in Super 8 correspond to 430 mm in 24 x 36.

More sensitive and smaller is the film, more the grain is visible. Grain is already highly visible on 24 x 36 mm sensitive films, so imagine the same film with the tiny images of Super 8 (4.01 x 5.79 mm)…

I have read on a french forum (Google Translation) that if the internal gelatin filters are removed of the cameras, it is necessary to re-calibrate the internal optics (especially for very short focal lengths). But it seems that cameras with interchangeable lenses like Beaulieu (2008-4008) and Leicina Special have no internal lens that could be re-calibrated. Can we remove the internal filters of Beaulieu (2008-4008) without focus problem (with no other changes)?
