Re: [Frameworks] Bolex 16/super 16 conversion
David, Douglas Palmer d...@filmisfine.co is a leading proponent and practitioner of the Ultra16 format based in the UK. He has converted Bolex 16mm cameras and a Bolex 16mm projector, e.g. http://filmisfine.co/bolex-ultra-16-camera-sprocket/ http://filmisfine.co/an-ultra-16-projector/ http://filmisfine.co/ultra-16-projector-at-the-finish/ http://filmisfine.co/is-ultra-16-the-answer/ Cinelicious in California has a very rare Ultra16 gate implemented for their URSA Diamond and Spirit Datacine. i.e. http://cinelicious.tv/we-love-film/small-formats. They can output 4K if you are so inclined.

[Frameworks] Bolex 16/super 16 conversion
Back to celluloid now after my brief foray into the digital world. Does anyone have recommendations for where to get a Bolex converted to super 16? Also, I’ve got both an SBM and a REX 4—is there any reason to convert one rather than the other? Also (finally) how do I know (in advance) if my lenses will cover super 16? Thanks, Frameworkers, for always knowing more than I seem to… Roger ___ FrameWorks mailing list FrameWorks@jonasmekasfilms.com https://mailman-mail5.webfaction.com/listinfo/frameworks
Re: [Frameworks] Bolex 16/super 16 conversion
Your 10mm Switar probably won’t cover — and to me the 10mm Switar is the best reason to use a Bolex. http://www.bolexusa.com/index.html Dieter at ProCam does good work. So does Les Bosher in the UK: l...@lesbosher.co.uk Of course, you can probably find a good S16 Aaton or Arri SR conversion on eBay for not much more money.

Re: [Frameworks] Bolex 16/super 16 conversion
Contact Jean-Louis Seguin in Montreal for the Super 16 conversion, i.e. bolext...@gmail.com. Yes. The Bolex Bayonet mount is more robust. Start researching the image circle of your lenses. Remember the lens mount will have to be offset for the Super 16 format. Jean-Louis can also collimate everything on his Bolex optical bench. He has re-manufactured approximately 12-13 Bolex cameras for our UltraPan8 format. He is very good, e.g. http://vimeo.com/92484795 On Tue, Jul 29, 2014 at 4:53 PM, Beebe, Roger W. beebe...@osu.edu wrote: Back to celluloid now after my brief foray into the digital world.

Re: [Frameworks] Bolex 16/super 16 conversion
the newer 10mm and 26mm kern switars (with aperture presets) cover super16mm - don't know about the older ones. les bosher makes really nice mounts that can convert almost anything to the bolex bayonet mount - he made me a pretty nice one for arri lenses. he does conversions too, though they're maybe only economical if you're based in the uk because of camera postage Date: Tue, 29 Jul 2014 17:25:09 -0400 From: nkov...@gmail.com To: frameworks@jonasmekasfilms.com Subject: Re: [Frameworks] Bolex 16/super 16 conversion Contact Jean-Louis Seguin in Montreal for the Super 16 conversion, i.e. bolext...@gmail.com.
