NEW MODEL L-8 BOLEX . . . the most sensational motion picture camera in the 8mm field It's the ideal camera. Anyone who can press the button can make excellent full color or blackand-white movies. Every frame in every sequence receives the same exposure— 1 /30th second at 16 frames per second (normal silent speed). The speed of the motor is constant . . . giving you productions that neither lag in action nor speed up beyond the normal 16 frames per second. Here are a few features of the new BOLEX L-8: 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; viewfinder corrected for 12 1/2 mm, 1 inch and IV2 inch lenses; focal plane shutter; improved optical system, assuring better 8mm pictures than you heretofore thought possible; accurate footage counter re-sets automatically to zero when loading or reversing spools; the BOLEX L-8 may be worn on the wrist or carried in your pocket. $87. 50, list price,incltides excise tax. (It is necessary that purchasers of this camera furnish standard Smm lenses which will be adapted to fit, at nominal cost. Write for further information.) BOLEX productions emphasize this comparison, show why BOLEX equipment rewards with better quality. Soon Spring will tempt movie makers to reproduce scenes of this gay season in Kodachrome. Thousands of amateurs are awaiting, with BOLEX 8mm and 16mm cameras, this opportunity. They know from experience that they will achieve the utmost in quality in Spring-scenes that command such great interest on the screen. Nature supplies the perfect setting . . . BOLEX records it perfectly. Like these thousands of BOLEX owners, know for yourself what it means to achieve better movies with BOLEX. Both the BOLEX DoubIe-8 and BOLEX Sixteen are built by the world's best craftsmen in the manufacture of precision instruments — that is, the workers of the Paillard factories where precision instruments have been produced since 1814. When BOLEX lays claim to superiority, that claim is founded on something more than the trite assumption of an advertising copywriter. It is based upon 130 years of superior quality . . . and for years BOLEX owners have substantiated that claim. There is no substitute for the best, and the best in home movies is BOLEX. See for yourself. Both BOLEX 6 and 16 have the famous BOLEX semi-circular turret; automatic threading mechanism; clutch to disengage spring motor; audible footage counter; all speeds from 8 to 64 frames; critical visual focuser; parallax correcting and trifocal viewfinder; focal plane shutters . . . plus a host of other superior advantages found only in BOLEX cameras. Now priced no higher than cameras without the features of BOLEX . . . only $200.00 without lens, but including Excise Tax. rj4m^M€€m £Beieoc ^omfiawM, <$nc. 521 fifth avenue, new york 17, n. y. ★ STILL THE WORLD'S BEST "BUY". y.U.
