Notkin spills — "That the lethal cartridge’s digital Bolex…"

quote

That the lethal cartridge’s digital Bolex H32 camera—already a Rube-Goldbergesque amalgam of various improvements and digital adaptations to the already modification-heavy classic Bolex H16 Rex 5—a Canadian line, by the way, favored throughout his whole career by the Auteur because its turret could accept three different C-mount lenses and adapters—
