A battery powered (Mallory RM450) cadmium sulphide photo-resistive cell measures light through the lens. The reflex viewing system of the Bolex P3 was improved with a coincident image rangefinder. Unlike the earlier P series, the exposure metering system is sensitive to film ratings from 5 to 400 ASA. Condition:Cosmetically it is in quite good condition for its age. It is a used camera so there are minor body marks from previous use. Runs well and all controls seem to be working. Not tested with film. Meter is working and included is an adapter to use a MR400 battery in place of the now unavailable PX450. Power-Zoom is working but needs batteries.
