Hey all, I have a pretty remarkable Bolex H8 8mm Reflex camera I'm selling. All Switar lenses...a 36mm f/1.4, 12.5mm f/1.3, and a 5.5mm f/1.6. I just need to sell it as I have 16mm equipment that sees fairly daily activity and I'm sure someone else would enjoy it far more than I have recently. Please make me a reasonable offer, and I'll have it shipped. It is in its original box, with lens and body caps...I also put a rexo-fader on it a while back and will include that as well as the original crank handle. I also have the external viewfinder that will also be included.

The camera looks like it has had very few rolls run through it over the years...and the lenses show this, as the apature rings are a bit stiff from non-use. I also own an H16 Bolex and can tell you, just wow!!!! Awesome machines!!! I have personally owned it since 7/2003, and have run two rolls through it. On both accounts, the man who did the developing said that the camera tracks and exposes beautifully...as well as any high end camera made today (relatively speaking of course).

Thanks for looking and hopefully someone wants or even NEEDS this for family fun or a world class film school project?
