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

Forgive me for not looking but have these equipment houses ever adjusted their prices or are they still acting as if film is the only game in town? I'm thinking of the prices I used to see for gear up on the second floor at Adolph Gasser in San Francisco; already seemed absurdly out of touch in

Jason Halprin, didn't you tell me a few years ago that Dieter (aka http://www.bolexusa.com/) was selling reconditioned Rex 5s? Or was that only for the academic market? On Sun, Apr 12, 2020 at 7:22 PM Eric Theise wrote: > Forgive me for not looking but have these equipment houses ever adjusted

I think you mean DuAll. DuArt was a film lab famous for losing films in their vaults. DuAll is recommended and in NYC. Jeff Kreines Kinetta j...@kinetta.com kinetta.com Sent from iPhone. > On Apr 12, 2020, at 7:29 PM, Scott Dorsey wrote: > > You tried DuArt and B's used division? >

Jeff, is the Rex 1 possible to refit with a Rex 5 finder? The Rex 1 finder is really kind of horrible but I have never seen a retrofit done before. > Get a 10mm Rx Switar and you're good to go. I second this recommendation... I had no idea how cool this lens was until a few years ago. --scott

[Frameworks] Looking to buy Bolex or similar

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

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
