This Bolex P3 cine camera would look great in any collectors display cabinet. Does it work? I could not say, everything looks good but I cannot figure out the clockwork mechanism. It turns one way but not the other, maybe its not working or maybe its just me. I know there are plenty of sites out there where you can get assistance to sort this out if there is a problem.
See examples of this camera in action at bottom of page!
The cine camera comes with its own case and is in a good condition without any 'dinks' or 'dents'. Hopefully, with some work this item could be fully restored to a working condition and soon up and running capturing good quality film.

The P3 Zoom reflex used the same zoom lens as the earlier Bolex P1 but offered a power zoom feature; two levers were located on the side of the lens for zooming in and out.
The Cine camera comes with the standard SOM Berthiot Pan Cinor 8-40mm f/1.9 zoom lens with power-zoom control lense. The zoom can be powered by two mercury PX1 1.35v batteries which are no longer made. However, you can use a pair of LR50 (or PX1A or A1PX) 1.5v alkaline batteries.

The original leather case works fine but has signs of wear. There is a 'sticker' on the front as shown in photo.

What lens do you have with the camera? Two lens will add value and certain lens can be worth as much as the camera.
