The equivalent cost today of the Bolex H8, with just a single lens, is 5,148 pounds sterling or $6,692. In other words a small fortune back then! My father made 12 pounds a week back then, so this camera was totally out of reach for the average person. Only a wealthy person could have afforded this camera.
