Kern Vario Switar POE 16-100 RX S16, Kern Vario Switar RX Preset Macro Prime Lenses, available in separate listing

A Bolex H16 REX-5 with Perfectone Crystal Motor is known for combining classic Bolex reliability, reflex viewing, and a 3-lens turret with modern, stable crystal-controlled speeds (like 24fps for sync sound) and unlimited running time via the external motor, making it a robust, professional 16mm film camera for precise frame rates without hand-cranking. It's a design classic favored by filmmakers for its durability, versatility, and ability to handle various shots, from animation to sync sound

Key Features & Why It's Valued:

• Bolex H16 REX-5 Body: A durable, Swiss-made 16mm camera known for its legendary build, automatic film threading, reflex viewfinder (see through the lens), and a 3-lens turret for quick lens changes.
• Perfectone Crystal Motor: Replaces the original spring motor, providing rock-steady, crystal-controlled frame rates (e.g., 23.98, 24, 25 fps), essential for syncing audio to picture.
• Unlimited Run Time: The external motor allows it to run for full 100ft or 400ft rolls without winding, unlike the short spring-wound runs.
• Variable Shutter: Allows for exposure control, fades, and single-frame shooting for time-lapse/animation.
• Versatility: Used for everything from student films (Spielberg, Scott started with these) to professional productions, animation, and music videos

See our other premium Super 16 Cameras by "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.
