    I'm sort of fascinated. What sort of projects are you likely to do?

    Thanks for your interest. Most of the projects I use my Bolex on will be very short, most less than five minutes in length.

  2. Hi -

    I've just launched a newsletter called The Bolex Test, and it's about me trying to make a living with a 1963 Bolex REX 3. It's free to subscribe and updates will arrive in your inbox every Thursday. 

    Here's where to subscribe and check out the first post

  3. Hi -

    I recently purchased a Bolex REX 3 and it has some modifications I have never seen on a Bolex before. 

    1) When I look through the lens mount with the shutter open I can see a gold piece of metal that seems to shrink the size of the gate.

    2) The pressure plate is black. It looks to be the correct size, but it's definitely not a standard Bolex pressure plate.

    3) There is an arm attached to the pressure plate, and some mechanical stuff below it I don't recognize?

    Here's three photos to help illustrate what I am seeing:

    Has anyone seen modifications like these before? Do you know how/why/where they would have been done?

    Any help is appreciated, and I am happy to post more photos if needed.

    Thanks,

    Aaron

  4. Hi -

    I'm selling fifteen (15) 100-foot rolls of 16mm Kodak 7203 50D. The film was purchased at the beginning of November for a shoot that isn't happening. It's been properly stored, only caveat is that each roll has a camera roll number written on it in with a Sharpie. This is easily crossed out. I'm asking $590.40 (or $39.36 per roll) plus $20 FedEx Ground shipping for the lot. I prefer to sell as a single lot, but will consider selling groups of four rolls or more. I can only ship the film within the US. 

    Please DM me if you're interested.

    Thanks,

    Aaron

  5. David,

    This looks great. May I ask how you handled the sync portions and where you had your processing, scan and color correction done?

    Thanks,

    Aaron

    We have lots and lots of 16mm in the lab getting souped and I think it is just a case of high demand outstripping supply for now.

    Yeah, that's it for sure. Production ramped up at the same time schools/students were placing their fall orders and that's why 16mm film is hard to get.
