Bolex L8
The Bolex L8 is a small-format cine camera, part of Bolex's 8mm movie camera line aimed at amateur home-movie users in the mid-twentieth century.
Sales data is thin: the only recorded UK auction hammer result in our dataset is £25 from April 2025, so today's saleroom value for a Bolex L8 sits at the low end of the vintage cine market. Buyers should treat that figure as a wholesale level — what a clean, working example sells for at auction rather than a dealer retail price — and expect condition and completeness to swing the price meaningfully.
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.
