  1. Visuals in Geneva Switzerland are selling their Arri master macro. https://shop.visuals.ch/fr/macro-pl/168998-arri-k2475720-arri-master-macro-100-t20-m.html#/18-condition-used
  2. Another theory coming from an internet expert. I would not trust this person entirely as he is trying to promote his own camera repair work. You speak about a "correct conversion", who is offering this service? Some years ago this same person was inventing some stories about the beginning of the H16 camera. When I asked him to justify his assumption, he stopped answering e-mails. The person who replaced Otello Diotallevi and is now working for Bolex International is in my opinion very competent as he learned the craft from the former Paillard Bolex employee who developed the super 16 conversion for the H16. He lives and breathes for Bolex. At the beginning Bolex International started by subcontracting the super 16 conversion. They were not happy and started to do their own. Maybe "the wreckage" you have seen six years ago comes from there (not far fom Basel). "I have seen two H cameras with aperture plates filed for Ultra-16". I have never heard of any Ultra-16 camera coming from Bolex International, when did they offer such conversion? Hopefully for us filmmaker the new owner will not be as incompetent as the previous one.
  3. You can convert your Bolex to SUper 16 at Bolex International in Yverdon, Switzerland. They are overpriced but the conversion will be made correctly. https://bolex.ch/
  4. Hi Simon, thank you for your suggestion. I would like to use the Bolex as a printer as I working on a documentary about the Paillard Bolex company and want to keep it Bolex only.
  5. Thank you very much fort the tips! Using a infrared video camera will be very helpful. If I understand correctly, I can bipack the negative film with print stock From the KODAK VISION Color Print Film / 2383 PDF: "Color print film is balanced to be printed from a color negative, duplicate negative, or internegative, using either an additive or subtractive printer. Black-and-white (silver image) negatives can be printed to yield a fairly neutral image, although slight coloration may be seen in highlights or shadows. Overall filtration should include a UV-absorbing filter, such as a KODAK WRATTEN Gelatin Filter No. 2B." Do you know wich filmspeed are KODAK VISION Color Print Film 2383 or 3383? From the KODAK VISION Color Print Film / 2383 PDF: "PRINTER RECOMMENDATIONS Pictorial Printing The printer setup for KODAK VISION Color Print Film / 2383 is similar to EASTMAN Color Print Film 2386 / E / 3386 / E, with little or no change required. For example, if you use an additive-type printer, such as a Bell and Howell Printer, Model 6123, to print originals, you can use a 90 V dc lamp, a KODAK WRATTEN Gelatin Filter No. 2B, a KODAK Heat Absorbing Glass, No. 2043, a printer speed of 240 feet per minute, and the printer settings in the table below: You can also expose this film with a subtractive printer with a KODAK WRATTEN Gelatin Filter No. 2B, a KODAK Heat Absorbing Glass, No. 2043, and suitable color-balancing filters (KODAK WRATTEN Color Compensating Filters)."
  6. Title should be: Printing Color negative with Bolex Unfortunately, I cannot change it.
  7. Michael Carter is doing this with Black and White films as explained in the video below. Richard Tuohy wrote in this forum: "With a normal bolex you would wind max 50 feet of meg with the same amount of print stock with the emulsion to emulsion. Note, start with the neg head out. It will end up tail out after preparing it with print stock. Load bipacked roll into camera. Take off lens. Point camera at a bright light bouncing off a white wall. Develop film. If it's too light or too dark change the camera speed and repeat."
