Bolex Released the H16 SB and SBM cameras in 1970. The only difference between the SB and SBM being the fact that the 'M' of SBM means it has the magazine mount allowing the attachment of the 400ft magazine on top of the camera.

This particular camera has been modified from 16mm to the larger format of Super16 (16:9) in order match other commonly used film camera models such as the Aaton or the Arri SRII/SRIII.

The Bolex H-16 Rex and H-16 SBM cameras are 16MM reflex cameras. The optical system permits through-the-lens viewing at all times. The self-threading allows easy loading of daylight spools. Camera features include single-frame filming, extended exposure, slow motion, backwind and a 133 ̊-145 ̊ angle variable shutter.

PL-mount Ultra Primes are a popular pairing.
