Kern Vario Switar POE 16-100 RX S16 Lenses, available in separate listing
The Bolex H16 REX-4 is known as a durable, high-quality Swiss-made 16mm camera famous for its reflex viewing system, allowing precise composition, a reliable spring-wound motor for smooth, battery-free operation, and creative tools like variable shutter speeds (12-64 fps) for slow motion/time-lapse, making it a classic for both amateur experimentation and professional use, especially for animation and special effects
Key Features & Why It's Famous:
- Reflex Viewing: A semi-reflecting prism lets you see exactly what the lens sees, a major step up from older models, ensuring accurate framing and focus without parallax issues.
- Spring-Drive Motor: A hand-wound clockwork motor provides consistent, smooth film movement without batteries, adding to its reliability and classic appeal.
- Creative Control: Features like a variable shutter (adjustable 0-145 degrees) and speeds from 12 to 64 fps enable in-camera effects like fades, slow-motion, and time-lapse.
- Triple-Lens Turret: Accommodates three C-mount lenses (often requiring specific "RX" lenses for best results) for versatile shooting.
- Build Quality: Housed in a robust duraluminium body covered in Morocco leather, it's built to last, reflecting Swiss precision.
- Film School Icon: Widely used in film schools, it's a staple for learning filmmaking fundamentals due to its manual operation and deep feature set
"JK Cam Super 16 conversion" on a Bolex camera refers to a modification done by a company called "JK Cam" (referring to Jaakko Kurhi) that converts a standard 16mm Bolex camera, usually a Bolex H16 model, to shoot Super 16mm film, allowing for a larger image area and improved picture quality compared to regular 16mm film; this conversion is particularly popular among filmmakers seeking a vintage aesthetic with modern capabilities. Jaakko's work is well respected and considered to be the best conversion even compared to Bolex Switzerland.
