Bolex D8L

The Bolex D8L is a double-8mm cine camera, part of Bolex's amateur movie camera output. It belongs to the era of consumer 8mm filmmaking before the Super 8 format took over.

Auction evidence for the D8L is thin: a single UK saleroom record from August 2023 shows a hammer price of £12, so today's wholesale value at auction sits at the low end of the amateur cine market. With only one data point, what a D8L sells for in 2026 is highly condition- and completeness-dependent, and a clean working example with its case and accessories could realistically achieve more than this lone result suggests.
