Bolex H16 Reflex 1 Camera Body 16mm Vintage Film Movie Camera *See Description*

Description: For Sale: DP owned Bolex H16 Reflex-1 16mm Motion Picture Camera**SOLD AS IS - PLEASE READ CONDITION NOTES BEFORE PURCHASING** Test Clips: https://youtu.be/fpKfi-IUagM Selling my Bolex H16 Rex-1. This camera has been with me since 2017 and used mostly for shooting B roll on music videos. I've run only about 1,000 ft. of film through the camera over the time I've had it. The camera shoots at frame rates between 12fps and 64fps. If you haven't shot film before this is a great starter camera and a joy to use. I'm sorry to see it go but with how slow work has been I'm clearing out some equipment that isn't getting enough use. I've included some test footage from the most recent shoot I used the camera on. Condition Notes:This camera is in need of a CLA before any professional work.The speed regulation on the camera is finicky and likely needs repair. It does not like to hold speed unless the spring is fully wound and even then sometimes you can hear it not running at the right speed. Not a big deal for me as I'm just using it for b-roll and don't mind the occasional unintended speed ramp (one of the test clips shows this) but you likely will want to get this looked at before critical professional work. High speed and slow speed do work when everything is working properly but again just be aware that things are finicky on the speed front.Start/stop button and lever are sticky.Footage counter works and is accurate.Cosmetic condition is good with limited scratches or abrasions on the body. Interior is clean.Lens turret level was sheered off at some point prior to my owning the camera.Viewfinder could use cleaning but works and is accurate.Camera takes up film easily and pressure plate/gears are in good condition.Please let me know if you have any questions!
