Going one up on the Bolex H-16 Rex is almost impossible. But Paillard found three ingenious ways to refine viewing, focusing and fade control. The new reflex viewfinder gives you a life-size 1:1 image with the standard 25mm lens. The payoff is in needle-sharp focusing. The variable shutter is engraved to indicate four positions from fully open to fully closed. And when the shutter is not fully open, a new yellow safety signal pops into the reflex viewer to tell you so. Fade-ins and fade-outs are precisely controlled. The new eyepiece is adjustable from plus three to minus three diopters to suit the vision of the individual. If you’re an experienced moviemaker, you probably know the standard features that have made this Bolex a global favorite. Otherwise, better get to a Bolex dealer straightaway. Why the matte box? Just a reminder that it is one of the most versatile Bolex accessories— for titling and special effects. Can you imagine anything Bolex H-16 Rex-2 can’t do? Tell us. $500 with Lytar 25mm f 1.8 lens.
