Bolex Rex5 Test on Kodak Ektachrome 100D 16mm film

Demo shoot on a Bolex Rex5 16mm movie camera, using Kodak Ektachrome 100D reversal film. Shot with Som-Berthiot 100mm, 25mm, and 10mm lenses. Once again, the 10mm lens is no winner when it comes to edge sharpness! This was scanned "full frame" in HD, which gets the entire image area on the film, but when using a projector back in the day, the image would have been cropped off on all 4 edges, so you wouldn't see the corner vignettes, the raggedy edge of the film gate, etc.

Nice work. You were the only practical reference I found on filming the moon. Very helpful. Did you use any filter? And it was 24 fps?

That would my 600mm Kilfitt lens test video, not this one...but no, no filter since it was 50D film and the light source was sunlight! And yes, 24fps-ish (not a crystal sync motor on that Arri 16S)

What was the apreture?

[@kadel1778]

The camera is defective, there is a separation between the shots

Couldnt that just be how it’s cropped? it was prob originally an overscan?
