In the 1960s, Kern-Paillard began manufacturing a line of zoom lenses for Bolex cameras. Innovations in lens design produced the first automatic exposure zoom lens for 16mm motion picture cameras; the Vario Switar 36EE. With the introduction of the Bolex H-8 REX camera, a new line of lenses was designed. The H-8 REX adopted a turret that used the same 1" diameter thread of C mount lenses, but with an optical distance between lens seat and film plane of 15.305mm. This outfit of three prime lenses is listed below. Two zoom lenses were also designed specifically for the H-8 REX: the Vario Switar 36 and 36EE. Another significant development was the introduction of macro lenses for H-8 and H-16 reflex cameras. These lenses featured a built-in macro extension with pre-set diaphragms. Listed below are the lenses manufactured by Kern-Paillard during the 1960s.
