Engr 0 Posted July 30, 2019 Share Posted July 30, 2019 May i know what is the difference between 8/19 and 16/32? Is the latter Bigger? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
seku 52 Posted July 30, 2019 Share Posted July 30, 2019 The later is way bigger, but still at a very handy and portable size. The 8/19 is a baby scope. I love both a lot Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Thank you! I shot an entire video duel focusing with the Bolex 16/32. It's not that bad once you get the hang. I was blind by the end of the day. Vision totally blurred. I use a ProtoDNA variable diopter now with a 40mm on GH5. I would recommend getting a single focus solution because of where and tear on the Bolex. TurboRat 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

leslie 661 Posted November 12, 2019 Share Posted November 12, 2019 I think i may have just joined the club. purchased this today in 16mm. I am informed it has fungus, so ill probably be pulling it apart to give it a clean. If anyone has any advice on either cleaning it or the unit itself i'd be happy to hear it the only thing i'm not sure about is if this is a projector lens and maybe this thread is talking about bolex anamorphic camera lens ? Edit : afer rereading the first few pages i realize i bought the projector lens i think please disregard Quote Link to post Share on other sites

itimjim 30 Posted October 31, 2020 Share Posted October 31, 2020 @keessie65 there I was contemplating selling my beloved Bolex 16/32/1.5x last night, chanced upon this thread, started having another play with my GX8 and 20/1.7 and now resolute I’m going to use it more and about to pull the trigger on the single focus add on I love how compact this thing is on the GX8 with pancake. Also figured out how to get this to work in stills mode by using the Penny EXTC mode in Medium at 8MP, which gives an extra 1.3x crop on the already 2x crop. Took a quick snap before. Works on my Voigtlander 25/0.95 too Love this anamorphic. Think they may need to bury me with it. Cheers for the inspiration pal Ian Edward Weir and keessie65 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
