H16 M1
Year of Introduction 1958 From s/n 153,000+
The
fall 1958 issue of Bolex Reporter magazine heralded the arrival of the
Bolex H16M camera. One of the main reasons for its introduction is so
that filmmakers who want to own a camera of Bolex H quality but who do
not require the use of a turret can now do so.
A standard of Bolex cameras of this period is that it has a footage, frame and an audible footage counter. It is also the first camera from Bolex which includes an exposure guide on the camera itself.
