What it is
{"overview":"The Bolsey 8 is a subminiature dual-purpose camera capable of shooting both 8mm motion picture film and single still frames on the same stock. The market is thin and condition-sensitive, so in today's saleroom examples with working shutters, clean optics and original accessories tend to sell for the upper end of that range, while incomplete or non-functional bodies are worth considerably less.","buying_guide":"Inspect the shutter and film-advance mechanism carefully, as wind-on faults and sluggish shutters are common on cameras of this age and complexity.
