Bolex Light Optical Bench
This is a support for the Bolex H series cameras.(Bolex code SUTEL)
It allows the user to shoot with extremely long lenses or a mattbox,
do title work, and macro-cinematography.
Although this "bench" is designed for Bolex cameras, it could easily be used
with any camera that is the same distance, or shorter, than Bolex from the
tripod mount base to the centerline of the film gate. Taller cameras would
not work, but there are few, if any cameras that are taller than a Bolex.
