P3D Re: '54 Vintage Bolex 2D 3D H-16 Stereo Movie Camera

["Norm in S.F." <normlehf@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

This was actually a beam-splitter system that fit most Bolex 16mm
cameras. It came with a projection lens what was actually two lenses
with polarizers in a single barrel. There were sleeves to fit most
standard 16mm projectors. I have a similar system made by Elgeet. It
works pretty well if you like the vertical format images it produces.

I have heard the the Bolex polarizers have usually gone bad and must be
replaced. My Elgeet ones are fine.

They are a little higher relative to width than the pictures produced by
the 35mm beam splitters because the 16mm frame is relatively narrower
than the 35mm frame.
