Selection of Bolex  H Super 16 Cameras
Back to Super 16
Bolex H body cameras: EL, SBM, SB, EBM. Rex5 and Rex 4  are converted to Super 16 format
before sold. Lubrication and clean up service is done to all used cameras sold by Meritex,  internal
mechanics are cleaned free of gummy grease and oils and re-lubricated. The gear train and bearings
are  inspected for wear and repairs performed accordingly. The spring motor is resealed for graphite
leaks as necessary and spring tension tested.

All cameras listed are modified to Super 16 format before sold. Cameras having an original 10x
viewfinder are also modified to 13x view.  Viewfinder optics are realigned to match the viewfinder
image with film gate. See ground glass markings. 

For turret mount cameras Rex 4 and Rex 5, the axel for the turret plate is permanently relocated to
S16 position, making the 3 hole turret  fully  functional  for S16 optical axes. See 2 available options
for converting your camera.

Bolex H8 Rex 4 and Rex 3  Converted to Super 8mm.
The camera on the left is a standard 8mm. converted to S8 format by JK Camera. Often I get questions how to identify the converted camera:
The sprocket hole is in line with center of frame,  Super 8 film sprockets are larger in diameter,  reel spindles have square adapters for 16mm reels
(Super 8 film is supplied in the 16mm. reels).

H16 Rex 3 and Rex 1 Rex 3 can have a square base like Rex 4 or  around base for single mounting screw. Identify Rex 3 by having one outlet only (8 to 1) and the viewfinder is the same size as Rex 4 has.  Rex 2 has single screw base, 8 to 1 outlet and the viewfinder system is smaller  than Rex 3 has. Rex 2 on the right has 1 to 1 shaft and motor mounting screw  inserts installed. This camera is functionally the same as Rex 4
