Paillard A.G. Bolex H8

{"overview":"The Bolex H8 is an 8mm cine camera produced by Paillard A.G. of Switzerland, introduced in the late 1930s as the 8mm counterpart to the 16mm Bolex H series. These are saleroom results — wholesale levels rather than retail asking prices — and as of 2026 the H8 is worth noticeably less than its 16mm H16 sibling, reflecting the narrower user base for standard 8mm film today.","buying_guide":"Inspect the spring motor for smooth run-down at all speeds, check the shutter and claw mechanism for consistent transport, and look for haze or fungus in the viewfinder and any fitted lenses.
