The Roman philosopher Cicero said, "to know nothing in the world before you were born forever remain a child." This is true in all fields of interest, and generally most iPod and digital camera buyers will probably know not a whole lot about the analog precursors for their high-tech tools. It is a shame, because the story of how we all got from there "" (bakelite telephones, wire recorders, and record players in the ' 50s) "here" (iPhones, digital recorders and MP3 files).
In the case of cameras is just a glance at the history of Bolex most educational. The fact is, the filmmakers were still using wind-up, low-tech Bolex kamerærne over 80 years after the company was founded with cameras from 50 to 70 years old is "sweet spot" for working collectibles.The film exposed in these units can be digitized and edited on your computer workstations, like all other digital recordings, but it has the deep color from the movie and Hugo Meyer and Zeiss lenses, optical beauty. past and present meet, to be sure, with a Bolex.
Founded in 1927, Bolex International is a Swiss producer of 8 mm and 16 mm motion picture cameras and, with such partners as Hugo Meyer in the early days and Zeiss today, high quality lenses, as well as. Their famous products were essential ingredients in the growth of early news television coverage and was an immediate hit with decision-makers documentaries, nature and sport, movies, avant Garde projects and animated features.
While some newer models are electric-powered, most done since 1930s use a spring-wound lubricated drive. introduction of Bolex H-16 in 1935, which can be converted easily to Super 16 mm, solidified the company's reputation for advanced engineering and optics. Kamerærne is so well designed and built the original features of H-16 are present, with some significant changes to the models that are now being made; there are many 50 to 75-year-old Bolex cameras still in use today.
There are many lovingly maintained Bolex cameras for sale from collectors and specialty dealers, if you do not want to buy a new one (they are expensive) models used to save some money, but don't expect a bargain basement price on any Bolex, there have been well maintained.
If you want a H-16 you should avoid early models with obsolete dual-sprocket drive, as they require double-perforated 16 mm film, which is almost impossible to find.Record-1952 H16 models with serial numbers higher than 76471 uses modern single-perforated film.Finally, if you want to use large, heavy lenses can you bayonet mount featured in newer versions of H-16.
Filmmakers who have settled on some other "appearance" will use whatever tools "get them where they want to go."For many today, it means using state-of-the-art digital cameras from red, Sony, Canon, and many others.Great effort has been put in to get rich, saturated appearance of films through filters, camera settings and (of course) post-production phases processes. But there is still a group of dedicated auteurs that insists on using a Bolex or other oldie-but-goodie bag, even if they convert the movie to a digital file for editing and final production. Film world, and our, is all the richer for their efforts.
