Hi Lindsay, Is the person with the EBM anyone I would know? I have a battery grip and battery box for an EBM if they're looking. Or the 7-pin connectors to make a power cable/adaptor. Todd Eacrett (Victoria BC) On Mon, Apr 20, 2020, at 1:35 AM, lindsay mcintyre wrote: > I've got an extra

I've got an extra SBM I could sell. It has a 13x viewfinder and the big bayonet lens on it that they came with. Might be more trouble than it's worth though as I'm in Vancouver. Let me know off-list if you are interested and I will take some photos. I also know a guy out here who has a S16 EBM for

Yes, I was able to purchase two Rex 5s & lenses from Dieter in Spring 2018. This was for an academic department, but I believe he's not picky about who wants a camera ;) Jason Halprin jihalp...@gmail.com jasonhalprin.com On Sun, Apr 12, 2020 at 10:56 PM Eric Theise wrote: > Jason Halprin,

Filmos and K100s are excellent cameras. No reflex finder, but with a 10mm Switar who needs one. The problem with the K100 VF objectives is that 15mm is the widest, IIRC. The one Beaulieu I kind of like is the spring wind R16G. Yeah, still has that aerial image finder that’s bright but hard to

I had one of these cameras that I already sold. The wind ups, from my research, were not meant for export outside of France. They are interesting cameras many features like a true 1/50th shutter at 24fps. I sold mine fairly cheap since I already own an Arri S, Rex 4 and a Bolex El. I sold it for

The problem is that there aren't many people who can service the things any longer, whereas it used to be there were thousands of older guys who had been through Filmo and Eyemo school in the service who were doing camera service. So what you save in lower prices due to reduced demand, you pay

Dieter does sell Rex 5 cameras. Some well known 16mm camera retailers have reduced their prices for sync cameras and less feature-rich MOS camera alternatives to the Bolex. The Bolex’s overall level of quality for the money and it’s spring drive have made it seemingly less prone to the up/down

I’d avoid the EL — buggy electronics and hard to fix. Beaulieus are buggy, too. And don’t even think of a Scoopic... Get a later Rex 5 (not for the magazines, but for the 13x viewfinder (vs 10x on the Rex 4 and earlier Rex 5s, and the 2x on Rex 1 and IIRC Rex 2. Get a 10mm Rx Switar and

Hi, everyone. I hope you're staying safe. My trusty Rex-4 was stolen last Fall and I'm ready to invest in a replacement. Ideally I'd like to find a Rex-5 in nice shape (any extras a plus.) I would consider a Beaulieu R16 or Bolex EL *but* I'm not sure if these have time exposure features, and
