Hey Alec, great footage. Did you stabilize in post? I find that Bolex H16's generally have a lot of gate shakiness/breathing. This is very clean footage though! Also, how did you clean up the noisiness in the blacks that come with shooting at 500T!

Wanted to ask if you had a crystal sync motor on it because it looks like it’s running at 24 fps rprety good !

Give me celluloid any day. Long live celluloid.

Those Minolta lenses worked wonders with the Bolex. Seeing that you used a reflex Bolex, were there any issues with the adapters or lenses or any special modifications required? I ask this because I know that the reflex Bolexes required RX lenses in focal lengths of around 50mm or shorter. Out of curiosity, did you happen to use a Minolta 50mm lens? .
