You cannot use this lens on your camera. You’d need a negative-space adapter which doesn’t exist. ?
Two options: 1. Sell lens and find RX ones for the camera. 2. Sell camera and stay with the many regular C-mount optics. Non-reflex Paillard-Bolex H cameras offer almost the same number of mechanical features* and possibilities as the reflex models together with a critical focuser that you only have to get used to. It works even better than the reflex system because it makes use of 100 percent of the light compared to about 20 percent with the RX prisms system. I’d recommend a late H-16 with big base and 1-1 drive shaft. It accepts the Electric Synchronous Motor ESM with crystal control.

*Difference is the fixed shutter.
I made the same mistake - bought a Bolex H16 reflex with 3 lenses which turned out to be non reflex lenses.
But I´m confused, because the lenses can be screwed all the way in easily. So maybe I am able to use them?
Also I found this article saying that using AT-lenses on a reflex camera is not a big problem: http://bolexh16user.net/H16Lenses.htm
I just want to double-check before selling the camera again - actually I want to keep it and start shooting.
