Ryan Sloan Posted December 29, 2020 Share Posted December 29, 2020 Hey Cinematography family, I’m prepping for my first feature film on an S16 Arri SRII in April and I really want to shoot on some Ultra 16 primes. I love how sharp the lenses are. I’m curious if anyone knows anyone to rent them off of in the NYC/ NJ area. I’ve searched multiple rental houses but no luck. If I can’t end up finding the Ultra 16s, what would be the difference shooting on S35 Ultra primes? Will they be any less sharp? And what would be the widest I can go before having any framing issues? Thanks! Ryan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marcel Zyskind Posted December 29, 2020 Share Posted December 29, 2020 Have you tried Arri in NY? Arri in London only have up until 14mm in Ultra 16's and suggest using Ultra primes above 14mm. They will match nicely. You will however have issues with using wide s35mm primes as they are bigger lenses. 12mm UP is huge. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryan Sloan Posted December 30, 2020 Author Share Posted December 30, 2020 Hey @Marcel Zyskind, thanks for the swift reply. I have no idea why I didn’t check there first. They do indeed have them and I also found a spot called New York City Camera rentals who had a set! thanks again! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
