OS of €XC€LL£nC In ' science, art and industry there are standards by which all others within each sphere are judged. In the amateur motion picture field the standard of excellence is BOLEX. Behind BOLEX are one hundred and thirty years of precision craftsmanship. The Paillard factories at Ste. Croix, Switzerland, are known all over the world for the excellence of the precision instruments they produce. BOLEX cameras, beautiful to behold from outward appearances, are even more beautiful from a mechanical standpoint, inside their cases. Here, to the trained mind of the engineer, lies the secret to superior BOLEX performance; accuracy in every function and consistency in photographic results. Nowhere, except in the Paillard factory, and by the trained hands of the craftsmen employed there, could such precise workmanship and mechanical excellence be embodied in motion picture cameras at current prices for BOLEX cameras. In fact, BOLEX excellence among substandard cameras offers no apologies for workmanship and design to standard studio cameras costing thousands of dollars each. In America and all over the world, users of BOLEX cameras will support the claims made for it. Get BOLEX as your first camera and save money by not "trading JK up to it." BOLEX is the ultimate in fine cameras. As you progress in amateur cinematography BOLEX will become more and more desirable. Therefore, we advise, get the facts and a BOLEX NOW".' The BOLFX H-8 for double-eight film, taking spools of 25', 50' and 100' capacity and the BOLEX H-16, using 16mm film, are identical except for the film size used. These cameras have every refinement and appointment including trifocal, parallax correcting vtewftnders, critical visual focusing thru lens and ground glass, turret for 3 lenses, clutch to disengage spring motor, cranking by hand, forward or reverse, and rewinding without limitation, automatic threading and a host of refinements found in no other camera. The price of the H-8 or H-16 is $200.00, without lens, and this, price is $65.00 below the OPA ceiling price.
