Premium Member Tim Terner Posted April 19, 2006 Premium Member Share Posted April 19, 2006 Opinions greatly appreciated. Is this a value for money package ? Roughly how much would it cost in the UK to convert to Super16 and would it (with a blimp or similar) be quiet enough running to do sync sound in enclosed locations ? Thanks in advance for any help http://cgi.ebay.com/ARRIFLEX-Arri-BL-16mm-...1QQcmdZViewItem Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marty Hamrick Posted April 20, 2006 Share Posted April 20, 2006 Difficult camera to convert to Super 16. -Tim It can be done, I've seen some ads for conversions of Arri BL's and Arri S's.Yet for the price I think you would do better with an Eclair NPR or ACL or Aaton LTR.These cameras convert much more easily.

Rik Andino Posted April 20, 2006 Share Posted April 20, 2006 The Arri 16BL is a good camera...but difficult to convert and expensive It's also noisy without the lens blimp. If you're looking for a decent S16 camera research this package... http://cgi.ebay.com/super16-CP16R-w-3-CP-u...1QQcmdZViewItem A well maintained CP16R can be a good S16 You can also search for Aaton, or Eclair NPR, or Eclair ACL like Marty mentioned Good Luck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
