Arri LT prices and where to purchase?

[Matthew Glover]

Does anyone know where I can purchase a New Arri LT? And what is the purchase price? I know its expensive so a high number will not suprise me. I have only seen prices for used. If I do decide to buy used what should I look out for before purchasing? I know people will recommend going digital because its cost but there is just a look I get with film that I cannot acheive with digital for whatever reason.

Are you sure you wouldn't rather want to rent it? Even the one for sale behind the following link is probably used, not new..

My understanding is that Arri has stopped manufacturing film cameras.

you will get plenty of Arri LTs but of course used ones. This camera model is not very old so they will be relatively newer than other models. Film cameras are rugged and they don't age that fast.

few months back I saw Arricam LTs being sold on ebay for 10,000 and 25,000 dollars.
