[Frameworks] Bolex 16/super 16 conversion

[edwin m]

the newer 10mm and 26mm kern switars (with aperture presets) cover super16mm - don't know about the older ones. les bosher makes really nice mounts that can convert almost anything to the bolex bayonet mount - he made me a pretty nice one for arri lenses. he does conversions too, though they're maybe only economical if you're based in the uk because of camera postage

Also, I’ve got both an SBM and a REX 4—is there any reason to convert one rather than the other?  Also (finally) how do I know (in advance) if my lenses will cover super 16?
