Premium Member Gregg MacPherson Posted July 5 Premium Member Posted July 5 (edited) Posted 1 minute ago (edited) I saw a promising ACL 2 kit on eBay. The seller bought it at action here in NZ. I'm trying to help him get it basically tested. USD6K buy now. eBay link.. https://www.ebay.com/itm/257001653238?_skw=eclair+acl&itmmeta=01JZBRQT3GBGZZMMJ75G0EA9FY&hash=item3bd67e03f6:g:cFIAAeSwn6doZzBH&itmprp=enc%3AAQAKAAAA0FkggFvd1GGDu0w3yXCmi1cd8G86BOp38L9y2kOLnA9JEzaLY%2FNyPJ56daSF0wr8kfbm5YqylzGiqQQ7MfSCaxXDNckbFe3iWhCkQckqW3e9%2FsIphp9BKEvjTSlAevHKPOQDQJuCEcGHNXCvsbR49A08CtA448z2NS8FdiB91vJnrY5Fr8VXG8A5vJ02HEp9KFnsGkegnSEdCrWS7F5ZAboqZdnaH0UwhVPQbje6ffJwaNKS4I2EAxBVICqpMsl%2FDknJUqPFmoel0wM9LkSVOoU%3D|tkp%3ABk9SR-yh3_j6ZQ You can contact the seller directly... Will Wallace<fiveonefive(at)gmail.com> Comment from Gregg: If I help examine and test the camera (video call) I may get to see if it is standard 16/ S16. If not S16 then the 15-150 Ang is a bit wasted. Including lenses in a sale can often confuse the value issue. The 15-150 has a couple of listings under USD700, which seems undervalued to me. If the camera kit is pulled off eBay then he may sell the lenses separately. Update 10/07/25)...I deleted the earlier update The seller is not signed up to the forum, so I will help by trying to itemise in an orderly way... Kit contents... ACL II body, standard 16, #2843 Kinoptic orientable VF, #....... Mag 1 #..... Nag 2 #..... Battery (BAKEL)... Charger (CIBRE..?)... Power cable spiral... Power cable short... Magic little box (to be advised)... TS/Arri-S lens port adapter TS/.....something I'm not sure of lens port adapter. (Nikon F...?) Ang. 15-150 zoom, Arr-S mount, #1432895... Zeiss distagon 8mm, f2, Arri-S mount, #5272243.... Rubber sunshade with bad memory bend... Pentax (sort of digital) spot meter)... A tray with some gel filter holders and glass filters..... If I missed something I'll fix later..... Notes: The gate looks quite good, no sign of high mileage. It's not clean, he will upload a better photo. I also asked for a sharp macro pic of the mirror The lens mounts aren't shown but assumed as Arri-S (pics of the mounted zoom). The other camera port adapter in the pics I can't tell what it is. Any ideas? A better pic should be coming. Is it Nikon F...? The video of the camera running (empty), with the camera about 30cm from the body, a few reflective elements in the environment...sounds reasonable. I'm assuming that it hasn't had CLA for a while. Noise will go down after that, even if just lubrication. Bear in mind that it's not a controlled test. The Ang 15-150 zooms are undervalued on Ebay at the moment. They cover S16 and can be quite sharp (I'm told). The magazine I saw ((didn't see detail of both)) is a late model type with a separate centre pressure plate. It's like an Arri SR mag, the overall pressure plate leaves a thin gap and only the little pressure plate over the aperture is applying pressure to the film. Good mag(s) for S16. Those little Pentax spot meters are great. I have one. New Price strategy if selling outside of eBay Price: NZD6000 (USD3614) Shipping: NZD500 (USD301) to NZD800 (USD482)..includes insurance. Money transfer by Wise..... If it just needs lubrication I think that is a really good deal... Edited 22 hours ago by Gregg MacPherson more words
