This Bolex Rex 5 camera works perfectly and has had film run through it to test it. It had a complete service around 2004 and I can furnish the invoice for the work that was done. The light meter on the lens appears to function normally however, when I did my filming with the camera I used a hand held meter, so the accuracy of the built in meter is not known. The camera is in excellent cosmetic condition and the viewfinder only has a couple of very small dust specs. This camera has the better 13x viewfinder and is very clear and bright. The Vario Switar is in very good condition and shows no The Rex-O-Fader works perfectly as do all of the shutter speeds on the camera. It also includes a grip. This is an excellent movie camera that can also accept the optional 400ft. magazine. The top of the line bolex! I guarantee a quality packaging job and this will be sent via registered mail.
