Marco Montenegro Posted November 17, 2021 Share Posted November 17, 2021 Hey people I would like to know if there is a place where I can send my camera and convert from 4 perf to 2 perf? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Member Dom Jaeger Posted November 17, 2021 Premium Member Share Posted November 17, 2021 I don't think anyone is doing 2 perf Arriflex 2C conversions anymore. AM Camera in LA does conversions for a few other cameras but not the 2C. Bruce from Aranda here in Australia is retired and no longer doing conversions. For the cost, you're probably better off trying to buy an already converted one. They pop up from time to time. Someone was selling a 2 perf 2C body here just recently: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Premium Member Dom Jaeger Posted November 22, 2021 Premium Member Share Posted November 22, 2021 Let us know what you find out. He's doing some interesting things, 2 perf conversions, HD splits, even a new 35mm camera based off the old Kinamo form. No shopfront or website though, just an Insta account and no other press, so it would be good to hear more about it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marco Montenegro Posted November 22, 2021 Author Share Posted November 22, 2021 He seems to be legit. He is showing his work on his Instagram stories periodically I contacted him and he said conversation would cost $2k out of the door. Plus shipping from St. Petersburg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Giorgio Taricco Posted December 29, 2021 Share Posted December 29, 2021 I have one converted by him and is a jewel. G. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robin Miller Posted December 30, 2021 Share Posted December 30, 2021 (edited) Seems to me in today's 16:9 and 1.85 world the "ideal" format would be 35mm 3-perf? Edited December 30, 2021 by Robin Miller Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marco Montenegro Posted December 31, 2021 Author Share Posted December 31, 2021 Hey Robin, I do have Moviecam 3perf already. This Arri 4perf is something I would buy from a friend and convert to 2perf to save money on stock. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
