Clive Tobin Posted February 25, 2006 Share Posted February 25, 2006 ...is this viewfinder the right one for my rex 1 reflex h16 the viewfinder that sits on thetop of the camera? No. This is for the non-reflex cameras. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Rizos Posted February 25, 2006 Share Posted February 25, 2006 Hi. That thing won't fit a reflex Bolex. It will fit the non-reflex turret models. It's used for viewing through the lens, but not during the shot, as the lens needs to be racked over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Ian Marks Posted February 25, 2006 Share Posted February 25, 2006 How is it that the viewfinder for your Rex is missing? I have used Rex 3, 4, and 5's and the finder is not removable, except by a technician. Maybe a Rex 1 is different. Good news, though . . . go to http://www.jkcamera.com/Super16.htm and see how you can have a completely new 13x reflex finder fitted to your camera. According to the company, it works with all reflex Bolexes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boris Belay Posted February 25, 2006 Share Posted February 25, 2006 All Reflex H16 viewfinders are non-removable, except for servicing. (And the one pictured is the wrong type.) If yours has been removed, you'll have a hard time finding a replacement one (without buying a camera attached to it, at least !). If you do find a spare one, screwing it back in is ralatively easy (with the right screws), but you will still need to adjust it, which is a bit more complicated. Given the market price of a Rex-1, a new viewfinder may or may not make economic sense to you. The other option, if you don't feel up to self-repair on a camera you're not familiar with, is to sell it back for parts and buy a complete camera instead. Are you sure your H16 is a Reflex model ? If it has a prism behind the middle, then it is. The trouble would be if it had been tempered with in other ways, or perhaps wasn't functioning correctly when its viewfinder was removed for parts... Best of luck ! -B Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
