new BOLEX Model L-8 was not designed to do everything ... on a sort of "Jack of AH Trades and Master of None" basis. Rather, it was developed to accomplish everything which may reasonably be expected of an 8mm motion picture camera . . . and to function in those capabilities in a manner preeminently superior to any other 8mm in the field. Only the BOLEX L-8, among 8mm cameras, guarantees identical exposures from the first to the last frame of every sequence. This is assured because of the precise mechanism which drives the camera at one exact and constant speed.
Every frame in every sequence in this sensational, new double-eight receives the same exposure — that is, l/30th second at 16 frames per second (normal silent speed). There is no "sputtering" as the spring runs down, changing the exposure from l/30th to perhaps l/15th because, at the end of the winding of the motor the mechanism operates at 8 frames instead of 16 frames per second.
If, in still photography, the shutter of your camera had the habit of becoming tired, and made only the first exposure at a given speed and the last exposures at half the speed, your progress toward good pictures would be seriously hampered — would it not? Well, in effect, that is just what happens when you buy an 8mm camera without a constant speed motor. If you desire a constant speed motor ... if you desire identical exposures in every frame of every sequence ... if you desire home movies that neither lag in action nor speed up beyond the normal 16 frames per second, you have no other alternative but to use the new BOLEX L-8. When you become familiar with BOLEX precision you will realize why now, as always, BOLEX is first among critical amateurs.
The BOLEX L-8 is the ideal camera. Worn on the wrist, it may be brought into operation instantly. The wrist strap provides ease in action since it enables you to operate the camera with one hand only. Simply find your subject in the viewfinder and press the button. Anyone can make excellent full color or black-andvhite movies with the BOLEX L-8. Moreover, it slips conveniently into a suit or coat pocket.
HERE ARE A FEW OUTSTANDING ATTRACTIONS OF THE BOLEX L-8
ith an 8mm camera. • Accurate footage counter re-sett automati
• Pressure plate is removable to facilitate cleaning of aperture. • A pointer automatically comes into viewfinder field as you near the end of 25 feet run, showing you actually when it is necessary to reverse film or unload camera. • Viewfinder corrected for \2'/j mm, I inch, and l'/2 inch lenses. • Focal plane shutter. • Improved optical system, assuring better 8mm pictures than you heretofore thought possible
cally to zero when loading or reversing spools. • Handsome leather and chrome finish ... as a matter of fact, it's the most attractive double-eight on the market. • Last, but not by any means the least, the BOLEX L-8 is the simplest of all eight's to operate.
