Hello, I'm interested in purchasing an Arri 2C medical camera body. Can be a 'For Parts' sale, as long as the advance knob is functional. Please reply with price request. Thank you.

Can the Norris Intervalometer be used to make an MOS camera (the Arri III) shoot sync? Thank you.

Thank you.

Hello, does anyone know if there's any operational difference (light loss, image coverage) between using a lens with a Cameflex mount on a Cameflex mount camera vs. using the same lens on a PL mount with an adapter? Or is that too general a question and it would depend on the lens? Thank you.

I would have to go back and check to confirm (and I may do so in the near future), but I believe I gathered it from one of the commentary tracks included with the special edition (Blu-ray) that they put out (it includes the memo of revisions Orson Welles wrote upon which Walter Murch based his changes), where the commentator went over the differences between the different versions of the film.

I would guess a Baltar, but I'm not sure which focal length.

David, thank you as always. My understanding is that the rear projection shots were forced by the studio into the film and against Welles' wishes. Do you happen to know, or are you willing to guess, as to which lens they used for Dietrich's close-ups?

Famously, Touch of Evil was shot almost entirely on one lens, the Angenieux 18.5. Does anyone know which specific shots didn't use that lens and, perhaps, which lens they did use? Thank you.

Thank you for your input. I assumed Lomos, just because they’re Russian; I have no personal experience with them. In my limited experience with Zeiss, I find their perspective to be a bit more distorted than other lenses.

Thank you for the link. I will be sure to check it out.

Last night I watched for the first time Come and See on Criterion's Blu-ray. A mind-blowing film, sometimes difficult to watch, and that, for me, reinforces the cultural need for the shared experience of watching movies in a theater. Does anyone know which lenses were used? Thank you.

I saw Pier Pasolini's "Teorema" (1968, D.P. Giuseppe Ruzzolini) for the first time last night and i thought it had a beautiful look. Does anyone know which lenses were used? According to imdb, the cameras were Arriflex. Thank you.

Dom, thank you so much.

The subject pretty much says it all. I'm thinking of converting my Aaton mount camera to PL, but I would hate to lose the use of my Aaton-mount lenses. Thank you.

I was told by Steve at Du-All here in New York that the 'AR' stands for anti-reflective coating. Specifically to Davo: I in no way claim to be anything close to an expert on this but my understanding is that a lens in an Arri Bayonet lens mount will not fit into an Arri Standard camera mount, precisely because of those wings, which are usually machined as part of the lens housing. I believe you would need an Arri Standard to Arri Bayonet lens adapter, which may not exist, since except for those wings, these mounts are the same, including the same depth. Unfortunately, you may need to either re-house the lens into an Arri standard mount, or find a different mount extender with the appropriate adapters, which is how I solved the problem. In other words, my lens is in Arri standard, my extender is in an Eclair mount, and my camera is an Aaton with an Aaton mount. Thus I purchased an Arri to Eclair adapter to fit the lens into the extender, and an Eclair to Aaton adapter to fit the the extender (with the lens and its adapter) into the camera. I have yet to test this set up for light loss.
