[Doug Palmer]

Hello everyone ! Selling my Switar 86EE, that one with the light-meter. Just £16 at present, and only 3 days to go !

I'll do some research but perhaps you (or someone else) may know how useful this would be on a Bolex EL. It's not a reflex but suspect lens would work fine. I'm not sure about the trigger mechanism though.

Yes I'm not sure either I'm afraid. Lens is £26 now... another 24 hours ! Maybe someone else here knows whether it will work on an EL ?

There are two points I make:

I am sorry to say that you cannot use this lens on an EL camera. The lens is a C mount lens and the EL camera has a Bolex Bayonet mount. You cannot use a C mount to Bolex bayonet mount adaptor either, because the lens back plate will foul the dish shape of the adaptor.

 

Apologies for the earlier non-sensical message!

I see, yes. It's a pity the rear of the lens is constructed in this way. Maybe you could use a very short extension tube, but then you'd lose any distance focus.
