'Sup with all these Bolex Pros allofasudden?

[Guest rndfilms]

I thought this was a rare camera...by the way, how quiet are they? And who can do a super16 conversion?

[Jon-Hebert Barto]

Its hard to find info on these....

 

and they always seem to be sold in pairs.(?) WTF? They also seem a little cheap for what they are....hmm ;)

 

I'd also like to know what other members have to say on the matter.

they are loud, better as an MOS rig. there are a number of places that will do the conversion such as these guys http://www.cameraspro.com/super16.html. Just google it.

Rumored to be made by Arri for Bolex, bot definitely made in Gemany rather than Switzerland.

my link was not for the purpose of identifying cameras. I was addressing his question of who can do a super 16 conversion.

[adam berk]

anyone ever find out if the bolex pro could be converted to s16?

It might help a bit, I found this older thread about the Bolex Pro: http://www.cinematography.com/forum2004/in...showtopic=13724
