Kenny N Suleimanagich Posted May 28, 2007 Share Posted May 28, 2007 And really the only reason why they made the Elaine was to capitalize off of students who wanted to use them. It's a good substute for a CP-16 or Arri 16BL for film students. After all they only made 6 Elaines and of those 1 remains stolen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matthew Buick Posted May 28, 2007 Author Share Posted May 28, 2007 Shame. Would have been a nice camera to go hunting for. :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't really have any information to the contrary, but these cameras do get used quite a bit. If they only have 5 that leaves them very little wiggle room if a few are out at one time and they have a problem with one. It just doesn't sound right to me....

Have they become that well known with only 6 having ever been made? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
