Bolex C8SL
The Bolex C8SL is a small-format cine camera, part of Bolex's range of 8mm home-movie equipment. It sits at the consumer end of the Bolex line-up rather than alongside the company's professional 16mm models.
Sales data for the C8SL is very thin: a single UK auction hammer result in 2022 reached £38, which is the only reference point we have for what one is currently worth at saleroom level (wholesale, before commission). On that basis, in 2026 a working C8SL today tends to sell for a low two-figure sum, though condition, completeness and the presence of the original case or lens can shift the price.
Sales History
Prices shown are UK auction hammer results — the wholesale level achieved in the saleroom. Neither buyer’s nor seller’s commission is included. Dealer and retail asking prices are typically higher.
