Pictures and Video

 

Film Test - Shot in August 2024
 

Disclaimer

Although I have used this camera and have shot the film test, I’m not a professional cinematographer.

Please refer to pictures and the film test for reference. If you would like additional pictures or information feel free to email me. I’m an honest person looking for an honest buyer at a fair market price.

There’s no inching knob on the motor. My process has been to check the loops for 2 seconds or so to confirm good loops and claw is engaging. With automatic mirror parking, personally I’ve never had an issue.

I talked with Paul at Visual Products about a CLA and described the visual state of the camera and case. He said “I think you’re fine” in terms of the CLA.

Other than the film test I have not used the camera for 10-12 years, but it's been in its case, in a non smoking controlled environment.

I’m asking $5,500 for everything. The buyer would pay for shipping. Prefer to sell in the US only at this time. If you’re close by, I would consider meeting in the middle. I’m in northern Illinois.
