AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
The Bolex Compendium (often referred to as 'Bellows Matte Box') is a vintage accessory designed for Bolex 16mm and 8mm movie cameras, particularly for models in the H16 and H8 series.
Main Functions
Lens hood: Its primary function is to protect the lens from parasitic side light, preventing glare and ghosting.
Filter Support: Allows the housing of filters (gelatin or rigid filters) in front of the lens to control exposure or add creative effects.
Special effects: Thanks to the expandable bellows structure, it was historically used to create 'old school' titles and masks for special effects directly in camera.
Technical Features
Structure: It consists of an adjustable bellows mounted on a rod system or a specific adapter.
Compatibility: The classic models (such as the COZOM) are compatible with the Reflex versions (REX-3, REX-4, REX-5) and the flat-base versions introduced after 1963.
