Pan-Arri 2C with PL, BNCR, PANA mounts + BNCR Speed Panchros

andrewbuchanan · November 1, 2005

Package consists of beautiful repainted Pan-Arri 2C w/hardfront PL, BNCR, and Panavision mounts.

Excellent professional machine work on custom hardfront (Nothing sloppy! This is very strong and secure mount) w/freshly painted Cine 60 flat base, LIKE NEW VS motor from Visual Products 8-48FPS or so (depending on battery) and LIKE NEW 24FPS motor. 2 400' mags in VGC and older mag case (it functions well, but isn't beautiful). Everything stored in new Pelican case. New battery pack custom built into Pelican case. This is a very clean, well-mainatined camera that has been regularly serviced. Everything on it is in great shape (including all the mag. gear etc.) nothing is loose sloppy or worn out. This is not some ebay dog out of someone's attic, but my personal camera. Everything functions as it should.

Also, for sale (prefer they stick with the camera, but will seperate for the right price). Set of BNCR Cooke Speed Panchros from Visual Products. These are the nicest set of Speed Panchros I have ever seen. VP has a larger set with the same housings etc for sale on their site...

My set consist of the 25mm, 50mm, 75mm and also a NEW (not LIKE NEW) rehoused Nikkor 18mm in BNCR...

All the lenses have been serviced and collimated at Visual Products and they are ready to rock and roll. They still have their Visual Products stock ID stickers. They are are amazing shape... no dust, "cleaning marks" etc... The 75mm has very very very mild yellowing (a problem unique to th 75mm Speed Panchro) it has never been a problem for me, but in the interest of total disclosure I should mention it.

Price is very fair and much less than I have in the package... but not the same as some estate sale camera off ebay, so please don't expect it to be that cheap. Please PM with questions.

...and what price are you looking for the the whole lot?

Slightly off topic - but how does your lens mount work? Is it easy to change between them - can it be done in the field or does it require a factory visit and how long does it take to do? If you could post an image of the mounts that would be much appreciated!

The reason I ask is I am looking at getting a panavision mount for my 2C and was wondering about how, where and how much

thanks

Rolfe,

The mount is a single hardfront that has detachable mounts. The attach with 6 or 8 bolts to different patterns drilled in the hardront. Switching is relatively simple, and could be done in the field (probably a 15 minute job though). It would be best to do in good light on a table some place. Attached is a photo of the hardfront/BNCR mount. You see inside where the smaller PV and Arri mounts attach to the hardfront. To remove the BNCR you have to take out the 6 flahead screws that are visible on the second tier of the mount, then remove the bolts that hold the mount on. It is a very secure and solid mount.

Hope this is helpful to you.

Honestly, I am not sure who did the work. The camera had this custom work when I purchased it. Whoever did it certainly did a great job. It is a really cool system to fit all three mounts on a single hardfront. I see different mounts for the IIC and III on ebay from time to time. You might be able to stick one of these on your camera... or you could always buy mine :P The price for camera without the lenses isn't too much more than getting a hardfront! :blink:
