H-8 REX-4
8mm Camera
1965
OVERALL DIMENSIONS: 8 1/2" x
6" x 3"
WEIGHT: Approximately 6 lbs
OUTER CASE: Highly polished
duraluminium body, covered in genuine Morocco leather. Metal parts are
chrome-plated.
FILM CAPACITY: 100ft (30m), 50ft
(15m) and 25ft daylight loading spools of double run 8mm film. When a roll runs
through the camera, only half the width of film is exposed. The spool is then
reversed and run through again, exposing the other half. When processed, film
is split and spliced together giving twice the amount for projection.
THREADING: Automatic threading
and loop forming. The end of the film is simply placed in a channel leading to
the feed sprocket. The release is pressed and the film is then automatically
threaded throughout the entire mechanism.
MOTOR: Constant speed, spring
motor mechanism; governor controlled. Large winding handle folds downward and
attaches to camera when not in use. Spring cannot be over-wound. 8:1 and 1:1
external drive shaft permits the attachment of an electric motor.
TURRET: Rotating turret with
folding lever; Accommodates three interchangeable RX type C mount lenses;
Built-in turret lock.

Reflex viewing with semi-reflecting prism system; Groundglass focusing;
Adjustable to eyesight. The camera comes equipped with an Octometer viewfinder.
VARIABLE SPEED: 12, 16, 18, 24,
32, 48 and 64 frames per second
RELEASE BUTTON: provides for the
making of continuous exposures by a finger-tip release on the front of the
camera. A side release allows for locked, hands-free running or single frame exposures.
VARIABLE SHUTTER: 133 degree
variable shutter; Operated manually to decrease exposure time, or with
accessory Rexofader to accomplish fade-ins and fade-outs.
FOOTAGE COUNTER: adds and
subtracts accurately in forward or reverse motion and automatically returns to
zero when film is reloaded into the camera.
AUDIBLE FOOTAGE INDICATOR: A
distinct click announces the passing of each 10 inches of film through the
gate. This mechanism may be disengaged, if desired, by simply moving a lever.
FRAME COUNTER: Twin dial counts
frames individually and in total; Adds frames in forward motion and subtracts
when film is wound backwards. Dial may be reset manually at any time.
SINGLE FRAME: Time lapse and
animation is possible by using the side release button or an accessory cable
release and adapter; I-T lever allows for timed or instantaneous single
exposures.
MANUAL REWIND: Clutch disengages
spring motor and permits forward movement and backwind without running down the
spring; allows for dissolves and superimposition.
FLAT BASE: Contains three tripod
sockets: Two 3/8" thread and one 1/4" thread. Front of the base is
removable for easy mounting of the Bolex Matte Box.
