  1. Hi Everyone, thanks for the replies. It does sound like a shutter mistiming issue. But here's a link to some shot's I've plonked together from the reel, for Tyler to look at: I'm assuming it is fixable if it's a shutter issue? Huge thanks Jack
  2. Hi On my last few 16mm Bolex H16 reels I've been getting this light aberration (examples in the attached photos). It seems to happen when there is a slightly overexposed part of the frame, and is particularly pronounced when it's contrasted next to a much darker part. I'm shooting with a Kern Palliard 25mm lens, but it hasn't always had this problem. I'd like to know if people think it's a problem with the camera or the lens? Many thanks Jack
  3. Hello I'm looking for a simple and easy to use light meter app for my Android phone that is as straightforward to use as the Pocket Light Meter iPhone one, for when I shoot on my 16mm Bolex. Any suggestions? The ones I've downloaded seem more complicated, whereas the iPhone one was very simple! Cheers Jack
  4. Hi Guys Thanks for the replies, lots of really useful information there. So a side finder should be a little less dark? I think I might invest in one of them, but an ND also sounds like a good idea. Primarily you've answered my question that my camera is not broken or faulty in any way, which is reassuring. Thanks very much Jack
  5. Hi When I close up my Bolex H-16 Reflex aperture (which I do often shooting in daylight) I basically can't see anything through my viewfinder. Is there some way I can fix this? I have my viewfinder lever open (down pointing backwards) and there are no filters in the camera, although the frame filter holder is in as it should be. It basically makes it impossible to re-frame or re-focus while filming. Is there anything I can do about this? Would a parallax side finder help at all? I pretty much always use a 25mm Kern - Palliard prime lens with the camera, and I once used a much longer zoom lens for a shoot (and the viewfinder, when closing up to shoot, was still almost black). The camera has always been like this, I bought it refurbished from a recommended seller who sells Bolex cameras a few years ago, and I've found it quite hard to find more detailed information about this particular problem on the internet. There is no mention of this in the manual I got with the Bolex. I know that viewfinder gets less light than the film so will always be dimmer, but this just seems impractical. Any advice with this would be much appreciated. Thanks Jack
