On Ebay a Bell & Howell Filmo HR untested at $1,200 . The original model may have come out in the 50s but this is much later. A lot of money for something that may, or may not work. Sold as is.

$$$$

Seems like I've seen these with the newer, larger bayonet lens (like the Kransorsk has) with an attached SLR viewfinder for much less money. I assume that the one I am referring to was somehow converted.

Hi James, I think these only take C mount Lenses. There are 2 types of Krasnogorsk cameras, some have a special bayonet fitting, and others take M42 lenses.

Bolex had a lens that could be used on non-reflex cameras, it had a viewfinder attatched to the side of the lens.
