BolexH16 Supreme


This little beauty is a Bolex H16 Supreme. Built in 1955, this 16mm movie camera weighs in at just a little over five pounds with a film capacity of 100ft, (at 24fps that’s 2 minutes and 46 seconds.) Variable frames per second: 8, 16, 24, 32 and 64.

Why is this important? Because she’s all mine! I stumbled across this while poking around one day, thanks to my wife Ellie, who loves to shop at antique stores.

I’m looking forward to giving it a test drive soon. I’ll let you know how it goes.

If you or someone you know and love is needing information on their Bolex camera I found this site extremely useful. http://www.bolexcollector.com/
