I mean 662 frames

Thanks again. So it must be my frame counter that is off. It only indicates 612 frames per wind.

Hi, I have a few questions on this lens. Also, I would like any personal reviews and experiences with the image quality of this lens. is it okay to use the lens without the dog leg viewfinder or while light leak into the hole and fog the film? I do not like having to adjust the viewfinder that is not always level. Next, what is the filter thread diameter of this, it's not printed anywhere on the lens. thanks all

I have another question. My spring motor only gives me 24 seconds (24 clicks of the audible signal). Is this normal?

Thanks for the info. Puts my mind at ease! :)

Is it safe to keep the camera wound when not in use? If not, is there a way to wind it down without using film. I do not have a rewind crank. Also, do cold temperatures (5 degrees Celsius and less) affect the spring? I was filming and as the motor was at the end of its wind it sounded as it it was running slower. Is this normal? Is the speed still constant despite what I was hearing? Thanks

Thanks for the info. I put the film in a plastic bag just incase. I think I'll use the fridge from now on.

What about unexposed film? Can it be stored in the freezer until use or fridge?

sold, can you pm me the details? thanks!

Hi, I just got a Bolex H16 REX1 which I tested and found to be working. However, I am not sure about the rewind function. I would like to do dissolves and things like that but I don't know if the rewind is working properly or I am not doing something right. My camera is only equipped with one knob for the 100-1000 frame counter and another for the 0-50 counter. I should also mention i don't have the rewind crank. When i disengage the motor and rewind back nothing in the transport seems to be moving (when viewed with the film chamber cover open). Should I be seeing the transport moving backwards or forwards? The only thing that happens is the frame counter moves. Thanks for any help
