The Legendary Bolex. Stories of shooting all day then being used to drive tent stakes into the ground only to continue shooting the next!! These Swiss cameras run like clocks and are built like tanks!!
Here is a fine Bolex Rex-5 Super 16mm movie Camera with Tobin TCS TTL time lapse stepping Motor, Battery and charger. Camera comes with 3 Som Berthiot c-mount lenses 16, 25, & 75mm lenses.
Super 16 conversion was done by Cameras Pro in LA. Has the good 13x viewfinder! I used this camera for years to film Time lapses and MOS cinematography. It is like any Bolex - Solid!! Never had any issues with this camera, it still purrs when wound up.

Also comes with animation cable for manual frame by frame shooting. D.C. Battery and charger are included. Battery may need reveling.
The Lenses:
Som Berthiot 25mm , & 75 Comintern lenses are in good condition, could use some cleaning but overall good condition.
