  1. Hi Robert, Thanks for your message. I'm sure I've press the little button there to open the scissor blade before close the camera cup. I was so ossessionate with this scissor blade that I unload and reload the film from the top to be sure of that crucial step. Now I've semd the camera to Simon. I'll update this threed soon. Francesco
  2. Goodmorning Simon, Thank you very much for your precise intervention. I think I will send you the Bolex at this point.... If you agree, I'll email you and we'll arrange it. Have a nice day, Francesco
  3. Yes, I' think I'll send It to Simon. Thank you all for your kind support guys.
  4. Thanks a lot Dom, I will try, yes, I have the rewind crank, but in any case I understand that the camera needs a professional to repair it...
  5. All right Tyler, so so so thank you for your help! And also very compliment for your celluloid reaming project!! That's amazing!! So at this point I will use a piece of the 16mm reel that has already been ruined by these technical problems. It is true that this first reel was often shot with large beams of sunlight to the side or front. Another aspect was that the film was exposed at 50 iso instead of 250 (+ 2 1/2 stops), and even this overexposure perhaps served to emphasize the problem, in that sense it was a good thing. If it's okay with you try to write down what I should do for this test and (I hope) to align this frame misalignment myself. I will try what you tell me and make a video to post here Thank you very much Translated with www.DeepL.com/Translator (free version)
  6. Thank you all for the kind responses! I confirm that the problem is not always but occasionally. Below are two links: The video of the total shot. https://youtu.be/4GLzAIcyC9M The video of the front shutter (24 frames, slowed down) : https://youtu.be/lh0qKq4Akvw I don't have a film to test yet, but I will retrieve it before I do a subsequent shoot and do the tests you suggested. Thank you so much! Francesco
  7. Thanks a lot Mark, Do you know how I make these "reductions"? Do you mean manually ungrip the film and reposition it? Anyway is clear I must fine tune my Bolex film loading procedures, and your help is very precious ?
  8. Thank you very much for your quick reply Aapo, I actually loaded this first roll practically in the dark, and I wasn't sure if the film wasn't touching the edges of the loop. I will try then to load a fake film and see how it behaves, so if by chance I see that it touches the edges of the loop is there anything I can do? Regarding the pressure plate, this one is fixed well, clean and seems to me to be making the correct movement with its spring, but I couldn't tell if it is good or not. Thank you very much Francesco
  9. Hello, everyone, This is my first time to post in this great community, I hope I am doing it in the right place. I recently purchased a fantastic Bolex H16 Rex 5 from a trusted person who was already using it for some work, and I shot my first 250 D Kodak film. The result is strange, in that in some scenes there is a kind of "phase shift" effect of the film plane... not on all takes though! Some data: I shot everything at 24 frames. I mounted a Matt Box and had two lens hoods made with a 3D printer to fit both lenses I used: A 25mm Ken Paillard Switar RX A 10mm Ken Paillard Switar RX Macro Pictured is the setup I used. The light was quite low, the film was overexposed by 2 stops when shooting (exposed at 50 ISO), maybe too much... Do any of you have any idea what might have caused this? I also checked: - The slide and the proper functioning of the shutter (although I don't think they are responsible)... Do any of you have any ideas or suggestions? Thank you very much Translated with www.DeepL.com/Translator (free version)
