Bolex H16 SBM Super16
Equipment description
Bolex released the SBM camera in 1970. The “M” version has a 400ft magazine mounting option at the top of the camera.
The version using 100ft magazines uses a spring mechanism.
The camera has a bayonet mount and thus PL-mount lenses can be used.
It comes standard with a Kern-Switar zoom lens.
Recently modified to a Super16 version instead of the usual 16mm by Mr. Stanislaw Kwiatkowski.
