Is Bolex Super 16?
Bolex started modifying their cameras to the Super 16mm format in the early 90’s and unlike others who offer the service the factory conversion easily allows you to switch from Regular to Super 16mm when on a shoot. They also have to modify there main zoom lens the PTL and the 400ft magazine to work with the format.
Is shooting on 16mm expensive?
A 400′ roll of brand new 16mm film (not re-cans) will run you about $100 – $125, and will give you 11 minutes of footage. The processing/scanning will come out to be around the same, so for every 11 minutes you shoot, you’re looking at about $250 all in.
