In search of Arri 16s Turret cavity lens caps.

[Jon R Williams]

I need two body caps for the turret lens cavities on an Arri 16S Camera body. Where can I buy them?

[Duncan Brown]

There's a guy on eBay selling sets of 3 for $25 plus shipping...but they're just generic pipe plugs that happen to sort of fit.

I have two extra ones that are legit Arri-standard port caps, but they are aftermarket, not Arri-branded and just have "Taiwan" stamped on the inside.  I'd let those go for $10 shipped in the US (i.e. 2 or 3 dollars more than my cost of shipping).  PM me if you want them.

Thank you Duncan. Do your caps say Arri on their front?

This would be a perfect candidate for 3D printing.

They do not, they are aftermarket work-alikes.  They are in every way that I can tell identical to the Arri ones, except for the lack of logo, and a slightly narrower band of not-krinkly texture around the outer edge on the front.

For comparison, here are the hilariously wrong ones on ebay (I believe you can see they are from Caplugs.com)

Hi Boyd,

did you build the model?
