You’re in good company, too: Many notable filmmakers such as Martin Scorsese, Steven Spielberg, David Lynch and Andy Warhol used Bolex cameras to shoot their first films.īolex still manufactures its film cameras and although it doesn’t physically produce the D16, the decades-old company oversees quality control for the new digital camera.
