Great tutorial, but you missed out the pistol grip.

The best video on this subject. Thank you!

Thank you for the clear vid ❤

Great tips. Thank you so much.

I would like to add this camera is actually a DL 8-A and that’s a definite Plus ! Bolex did not add the A except on a tag which came with it. Added feature is the rewinding crank for lap dissolves which work very nicely.

Thanks for the excellent video! only one on youtube! Does a full wind up cover 25ft of film? or is there a chance it can cut out half way through?

Thank you for this detailed explanation, the only one I can find on youtube! I was recently gifted one and it's in wonderful condition - Only thing being I have no lens caps (lenses still seem perfect). Do I have to have them in order to load properly? What would happen if I didn't? Thanks again!

Wich Type of battery does the Bolex K1? My cameras battery no longer works. I have the battery but can't find a precise description on it. It says 3v and nothing more. Thank you.

Best video of film loading on the internet

Thank you so much for this very detailed video. I am totally new at this. this is probably a stupid question but I am assuming the liquid will go in through the funnel before you close with the lid right? Also, could you do a video on how to agitate the barrel, I have seen a few videos with different suggestions and the warning that the film can get damaged if not done correctly, everyone with different recommendations but no definitive answer. Thank you in advance for the answer!

👏👏👏 I've been reading the manual 1000 times, but nothing beats showing it to us!

Fascinating video, great tutorials

This was such a helpful video thank you!

Great video! Thanks you

where can I find this film stock?

Thanks for this. A quick note may be helpful. You will find that reversing the mounting positions of the normal 12.5mm and tele 36mm lenses relative to the wide 5.5mm lens reduces the chances of seeing other lenses when shooting on the wide lens. Additionally, on my D8L (not a D8LA like yours) there is a dot on the preferred mount for the 5.5mm. You may want to check that as well as the precise Swiss engineers probably found an extra fraction of a millimeter to help with this as well. Thanks again and keep shooting.

Fantastic video! I kept having issues with film not wanting to stay in the roll but after cutting the film as instructed, I've no longer got the problem.

Do you have any idea how to clean ? Or lubricate ? Cause mine doesn’t run..it winded but it sounds like it wants to go ..

Great video!!! Many thanks

I totally understand what you're doing here! The only thing I never knew was that the film reels could be taken apart. Great info, dude!

Awesome. Is there a way to test a develepor? I have Kodak Xtol and I mixed it April and I think it should be good but wanted to test it? Thanks

Thank you for short and to the point on how to do this.

You do realise you can pull the film onto the reel before you need to finish winding the rest of it in the dark? Makes it miles easier for the rest of the process :)

awesome. Thanks. :)

Great video. Perfect. Thanks.

Hi. I have one of these. Lock doesn't lock the shutter release button and the release button although it worked previously, has now become just loose to use in with no registering to make the shutter run when the camera is would. Any idea why it might have gone like this. Anything I can do to make it engage again and roll the shutter?

Use a test roll with the lights on to practice starting the film on the reel (1:10) over and over until you have it down. It can be tricky to do, especially in the dark.

So the other lenses aren’t to be use?

I have a question- how to focus in this case?

After closing the camera following loading which you did incorrectly. you run the camera untill you reach the zero NOT the 1 foot indicator. You start filming at Zero feet and when you have reached 1 foot you have filmed one foot. When loading, the loops must be clear of the top and bottom of the gate mounts. yours where at least one frame too tight top and bottom. Film will get scratched if you load like this.Read the manual that is available for the camera. its the same for all bolex cameras. 8mm 16mm and 35mm.It pisses me off that a college dept is teaching students incorrect information.

I have been shooting film for a while now but just started developing my own at home. I bought a film picker for about $20 on ebay and use that to extract the film without opening the canister. Then with the light on I can start to load the film on to the development tank reel. Once I have the film started the lights go out (I have a bathroom with no windows). I load the film on the reel, put it in the tank and, seal it and then turn the lights back on. It works great for 35mm. I have not tackled 120 yet but that is next.

Well done, very informative

I used to process 35mm film in the 1960s, I always used a changing bag to enclose the tank for loading, this was 100% lightproof and a very comfortable way to work.

I have one of these in pristine condition along with a very good condition Bolex 160 however they both sit beautifully on my display shelf looking wonderful while I use my DSLR cameras to actually capture all of my professional video. However it is nice nostalgia if one is able to use these wonderful antiques from time to time for old time sake.

Very helpful; ready to try my first attempt at this. Thanks.

I agree with @Jamie. I loved it

Does this camera take normal super 8 film?

Great video! It has inspired me to do a similar one for the P1.

Straight to the point, informative, no rambling. Excellent video!

Excellent video thank you! I just recently bought a D8L and am very excited to shoot.

One question, I shoud load the film in a dark room right?

I have a question: I have two lenses for this camera and while the f-stop ring works, the focus distance rings for both won't budge. Maybe I'm not turning it correctly but they fail to move in either direction. Could there be a reason for this?

Thank you for making such a great instructional video; it really helps!

At 2:40 you show that that camera is not in order. The claw hood assembly which also holds upper and lower film guides and the aperture-plate lever is not correctly mounted. Also, threading can be done much easier by first inserting the film end into the take-up spool slot, giving it two turns, all in both hands, and then dropping the whole into the film race while forming the film loops with both forefingers. Close gate, check release, and close door.

Excellent, no-nonsense, dummy proof video.

Thank you!

how can i convert the th to fps? 7:18

great video. thanks

The camera has a ratcheted wind, so you can twist the key back and forth as you wind the camera. It's much easier than winding, taking you hand off the key, reseating your hand and winding again.

Thank You! I have the very same Patterson Tank.. And there is one thing You didn't use... The "Agitator" tube... What should I use it for? Or isn't that necessary? Thanks for Your answer! :)
