Hey all, For sale is a bolex EM motor in fantastic working and cosmetic condition, along with a brand new battery pack, power cable, and charger. This motor runs at 12fps & 24fps. I am asking for $300 + cost of shipping (within US) Also, I am selling a very nice angenieux 12-120mm Type C zoom lens collimated for Bolex Reflex cameras and their prism. The lens is in great cosmetic and working condition with no haze or fungus. Aperture, focus and zooms rings are all very smooth. Asking price is $400 + shipping (within US only). I am trying to sell off what is not essential to my personal working methods, and as hard as it is to part with these items, I have decided to let them go. if interested and you’d like to see photos, please send me a private message here. Thanks! -Derick

Hey everyone, I was wondering if anyone knew what the filter thread is for the Som Berthiot 10mm C mount RX lens? I'm looking to get filters and want to be exact. Best, -Derick

How would the scratches affect the image? As in contrast? Best, Derick

Hey all, I just wanted to ask a simple question on if the wratten gel filters for the bolex can affect the image if they are scratched? I have a ton of tungsten stock that I’d like to shoot In daylight and my 85 filter seems just a little beat up (visible scratches and marks, no finger prints, dirt, or grime though) and I was wondering if it will affect the image? If so, I might opt to just pick up a step up ring along with a Tiffen 85 and call it a day. Thanks!

Hey there, how much do you have and for how much? thanks!

I ran into a very similar issue with my bolex. At first I thought it was the lenses, but it was most definitely the prism. As Jean-Louis pointed out (Both he & Dom Jaeger helped me tremendously with this.) keep your prism as clean as you can, and try not to stop down to f/22 if you could help it, the variable shutter is helpful for this. To clean the prism, I used Kimwipes and some Pancro lens fluid, I only sprayed it once on a folded kimwipe and wiped each side of the prism once in one direction. Do not scrub and do not spray the lens solution directly on the prism, spray onto the wipe. This seemed to help my my issue.

Perfect, thanks so much Simon. I appreciate the advice. I’m looking forward to using some of this stock.

Thank you very much for clarifying, Simon. I also have some 2253 & Shellburst film that i'd like to experiment with that are both Estar based so this clears up a lot of confusion (and worry) I know not to run the goold ol h16 at high speeds without film, but I just want to be sure that if shooting on Estar based stock, that i could run at 24fps without worry of jamming and breaking the mechanism (provided that the film is loaded properly). Should this be of any concern? As always, thanks so much for the input, its appreciated.

Also, one last question. Could i run this stock at 24fps in my bolex h16 rex 4 without issues of jamming? I was told to avoid high speeds.

Thanks so much everyone, sorry for the late response. Just one more question, I understand that Estar based stocks density is different than acetate based. Does this mean that the film plane may be slightly further back? Would this affect the focus of my images on my Bolex rex 4 even if the image is sharp in the viewfinder? Or is this not really a concern? Thanks in advance! -Derick
