Attention camera fanatics, ebay has a listing for you. The Paillard Bolex H8 Military Gun was apparently used by a Vietnam war reporter and survived. Wartime details about the equipment isn’t listed but just think of the history this camera might have recorded. The buyer gets a few more lens along the original documentation and a case too. But is it worth the $1,318 Buy It Now price?

  • The camera shown seems to be a Bolex H16 or H16R, (using 16mm filmstock, and not the H8 (using 8mm filmstock). Interesting piece, still !

    • …by the way, 8mm filmstock is actually 16mm film, of which only half of the width is exposed. At the end off the roll, the film is flipped and the other half can then be exposed.
