Help Identyfing Mark's camera (RENT)

[Elessar Sparrow]

I've been trying to try and find out what kind of camera the character of Mark Cohen uses in the film/Play from rent. So far my only lead is that it might be a Bolex H8 8mm. Anyone have any ideas?

Wow, I haven't seen one of those in a while. It is indeed a Bolex. When I was in film school, I paid $50 for one at a bicycle shop where the owner had it mounted on the ceiling as a fake security camera. When I offered to buy it, he came back out with the original box and paperwork. I ended up selling it in '99 for over a grand.

Good cameras!

Wait? The 16mm is the one I posted a pic of or the one he uses? Either way thanks in advance. Now I need to track one of this babies down.
