One of the first model Bolex H8 cameras, with D-mount lenses and no footage counter. The H8 takes 100 foot, 50 foot and 25 foot daylight loading spools of double run 8mm film. When a roll of film is run through the camera, half the width of film is exposed, the spool is then reversed and the other half is exposed. For processing the film is split and spliced together which results in double the amount for projection.
