Alright, does anybody wanna be our guest and spill some beans on whatever Arri is going to announce on the 28th?

As Tyler already mentioned, those are all gone. They got rid of anything that was left about a year ago, there are no more parts or accessories for any of their analog cameras. I missed it by a few days when I was inquiring about a part I was looking for. Arri also cleared a lot of their lens stock. I managed to buy a few brand-new Ultra Primes at a fraction of their original price a year ago. I presume that by now none are left.

This right there is what worries me, Aapo is doing a commendable work giving a second life to certain cameras, but for me, the next ten years will be critical in determining the repair future on a lot of these cameras, if there is one...Funnily enough their digital breathen will and already are suffering a much bleaker future, it's a bit ridiculous what the shelf life of an Alexa Made in 2010 and those made after turned out to be.

I agree, the next 10 years will be telling. I do think there will be solutions tho, at least 3 of us are working on them.

Well yea, you need to spend a little as possible on digital cameras, there is no value in them after 3 years.
