According to his wife, Elizabeth Greene, Plimer also worked on documentaries throughout his 30 year career.

Technical
The Paillard-Bolex was one of the world’s most popular “amateur” cine cameras in use in the 1950s. Similar to the Bolex H16, the Bolex H16 Reflex is a 16mm movie camera for 100’ spools, with automatic film threading, an optical eye-level finder, spring motor, and a black leather-covered metal body. The Reflex, introduced in 1956, included a “revolutionary reflex system,” or “eye-level reflex thru-the-lens viewfinder,” which allowed viewing & focusing through the lens before as well as during shooting. It was especially good for tilting, special effects and extreme close ups. Interchangeable lenses mounted on a 3-lens turret.
