 Light Meter
On Bolex Reflex cameras the Reflex viewing action is achieved by diverting 20% of the light incident on the lens to the viewfinder and the remaining 80% to the film by the use of a beam splitting prism inserted between the lens and the film.
When using any normal light meter with a Bolex Reflex camera you always have to make adjustments to the readings after you have taken them so as to compensate for the difference in light reaching the film due to the beam splitting prism being in place.
The meter can of course be used with Bolex Non Reflex cameras or other manufacturers cameras, however you would have to make adjustments to compensate for the fact that these cameras do not have a beam splitting prism present.

 anyone have any experience with a bolex? - The Digital Video Information Network
I'm doing a documentary project on dv, with a few brief shots planned to be shot on a bolex 16mm camera, at 64fps for true slow motion.
All Bolex cameras are noisy though, particularly spring ones, so you will need to build a "blimp" to filter the motor noise.
This differs from all later Bolexes in that they made a little spring latch button thing on the loop former lever-- after threading the film as described above you just put the camera door back on and as it seated it pressed the little button which released the looper automatically.
