One thing to observe:
There are two kinds of Bolex lenses: the older ones, and the RX lenses.
The RX lenses contain a compensation in the optical formula for the
beam-splitter in a reflex Bolex.
This means that RX lenses contain an error in the optical formula when used
on cameras which have mirrors, instead of beamsplitters.

It is not recommended to use a 10mm RX lens on your Eclair.
A non RX lens will work.
