A question to all the Bolex experts around here

There is no such thing as S16 film, perhaps you mean single perf film as opposed to double perf? Most modern 16mm film stocks are single perf now.

Early Bolexes used double perf sprocket rollers (with two rows of gear teeth) that won't work with single perf film, but Paillard changed the design to single teeth in 1952, from Bolex #76471 onwards. It's possible to convert those older Bolexes to be compatible with single perf stocks, but it's bit of a pain. All reflex Bolexes are single perf cameras.
