Item History & Price
Reference Number: Avaluer:7043569 | Brand: Bolex |
Film Format: 8mm |
He purchased this camera in approx 1964 but never got the chance to put a reel of film through it.
Still with the original cardboard box, carry case, swing tags and accessories just as the day it was made 55 years ago. The price is still on the tag, 297 pounds 10 shillings . That would have been a King's ransom back in the day.
I'm positive opportunities like this don't come al...ong every day and it could very well be the only unused 55 year old model in existence.
My Dad passed away many years ago and I'm sure he would want it to go to someone passionate about Swiss made movie cameras.
Please research your details on this camera as I'm not a collector and unable to answer technical questions with authority but if you do have any I'll do my best to answer them honestly and within my ability.
Of course it purrs away like any Swiss made clockwork machine at the push of the plunger. To my knowledge its fitted with optional clockwork motor aperture for fades and lap dissolves and the zoom lense configuration.
Kind regards and thanks for looking. Sent with Australia Post Standard Service.
