[Konvas] Bolex reflex lens? (off-topic)

[Herb Montes]

I got two of these.  One is a reflex Pan Cinor 17-85 mounted on a Bolex M5 which I want to sell.  Paid $500 for the whole outfit 10 years ago.  Don't know what it would go for now.

Subject: [Konvas] Bolex reflex lens? (off-topic)

I have a friend that's wants to do a shoot this summer. He will be shooting in HD, but wants to rent one of my 16mm cameras for a certain shot. He wants something that can go high speed for one of those slow-motion effects to make a punch look very cliché, kinda like in the old Rocky films (it's a comedy). Btw: Can anyone tell me what kind of frame rates they were doing to shoot those punches? I was thinking about 120-150fps?

I'm not in a hurry, since the shoot is this summer, but I'm looking for an inexpensive c-mount through-the-lens-viewing lens (like the old non-reflex Bolex cameras sometimes had), for my one high-speed 16mm camera rig. Preferably a zoom in good condition (and hopefully fairly fast). Like the old Bolexes, this high speed camera is non-reflex.

Can anyone tell me what viewing-thru-the-lens makes/models are out there, especially those in c-mount? Anyone know what the older lenses in decent shape usually run so I can start budgeting?

It should look something like this, except, of course, in C-mount:
