Paillard Bolex H16 REX 16mm Reflex Movie Camera + SOM Berthiot f2.4 17-70mm Zoom
 
Paillard Bolex H-16 REX 16mm Reflex Movie Camera from 1960 
Also known as RXVS or RX1. 
 
Serial No. 184309
 
Specification:
    • Highly polished duraluminium body, covered in genuine Morocco leather. Metal parts are chrome-plated.
    • Film Capacity: 100ft (30m) and 50ft (15m) daylight loading spools of 16mm film.
    • Automatic threading and loop forming. The end of the film is simply placed in a channel leading to the feed sprocket. The release is pressed and the film is then automatically threaded throughout the entire mechanism.
    • Constant speed, spring motor mechanism; governor controlled. Large winding handle folds downward and attaches to camera when not in use. Spring cannot be over-wound. 8:1 external drive shaft permits the attachment of an electric motor.
    • Rotating turret with folding lever; Accommodates three interchangeable RX type C mount lenses.
    • Viewfinder: 6x magnification; Reflex viewing with semi-reflecting prism system; Groundglass focusing; Adjustable to eyesight.
    • Built-in slot holds a gelatin filter behind the taking lens and in front of the shutter.
    • 12, 16, 18, 24, 32 and 64 frames per second
    • Release Button provides for the making of continuous exposures by a finger-tip release on the front of the camera. A side release allows for locked, hands-free running or single frame exposures.
    • 145 degree variable shutter; Operated manually to decrease exposure time, or with accessory Rexofader to accomplish fade-ins and fade-outs.
    • Footage Counter adds and subtracts accurately in forward or reverse motion and automatically returns to zero when film is reloaded into the camera.
    • A distinct click announces the passing of each 10 inches of film through the gate. This mechanism may be disengaged, if desired, by simply moving a lever.
    • Twin dial counts frames individually and in total; Adds frames in forward motion and subtracts when film is wound backwards. Dial may be reset manually at any time.
    • Time lapse and animation is possible by using the side release button or an accessory cable release and adapter; I-T lever allows for timed or instantaneous single exposures.
    • Clutch disengages spring motor and permits forward movement and backwind without running down the spring; allows for dissolves and superimposition.
    • Tripod Socket: 3/8″ & 1/4″ thread
    • Dimensions: 8 1/2″ x 6″ x 3″
    • Weight: Approximately 5 1/2 lbs
 
Good condition and in working order. Minor marks from use.
 
This model also includes an automatic spool ejector; automatic opening of loop former when closing the film door; the addition of a threaded hole in the camera body (for mounting the “Rexofader” automatic fading device sold as an accessory); the addition of threaded opening behind the lower lens mount position that permitted a turret locking screw.
 
Includes a SOM Berthiot Pan-Cinor f2.4 17-70mm Zoom Lens in good condition, clear and bright with only minor internal dust which is expected with a vintage lens but does not affect it in use. The focus and zoom work smoothly. There are some external marks from use but no real damage. It includes the original SOM Berthiot lens cap.
 
It is a vintage used item so please remember it is not in mint condition. Please look at all the photos to assess the condition for yourself. Only items present in the pictures are included.
 
Shipping includes fully insured with carrier.
