999.- Euro plus insured postage (and possibly VAT). TV logic monitor VFM-058W, 5.46" lcd full hd viewfinder. Bought on the 27-5-2015 at bandpro Munich. Minty in original box with all standard accessories. I have used this monitor about 4 days in the field only, and for monitoring footage, about 50 hrs altogether. I found it still too big for my purposes and it slowed me down too much so I ended up using the camera viewfinder instead... It comes with a clever custom made sunshade which can quickly be unfold and which protects the screen when fold down without being bulky. If weight is not an issue, P+S builds an excellent and affordable viewfinder loupe for this monitor so you´ll get a highend full HD viewfinder. I´ll include a copy of the invoice so you could use the guarantees. Buyers from the EU have to provide me with an international VAT number, otherwise I´ll add 19% of German VAT. tobias@tmfilmpro.com http://www.ebay.de/itm/291577731317?ssPageName=STRK:MESELX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1555.l2649

999.- Euro net plus postage (plus VAT if you are German or European and cannot provide me with a valid international VAT number) B4 to PL S-16 sensor size adapter Abakus Scientific 132 superb sample Sony and MTF relabel this one For Sony F5 F55 2K/HD window, RED windowed, BMPCC, more from Black Magic, GH4 in 4K, Bolex Digital... A cherry picked superb sample from Abakus, I checked it in projection with my Canon HJ 18x28 and saw no quality loss. Results are simply stunning with a lens that good and will blow away most native S16 lenses. Bought in 2009 it is a real HD generation converter and coatings have to my knowledge not changed since. Rear and front lens pristine, a little bit of dust inside, signs of use on the body (see images). Sony and MTF (and I think RED used to) probably relabel this brillant adapter from Abakus Scientific and then charge way more (B&H lists both Sony and MTF with 3500USD). Im selling because I also have the IB/E 35. 14 day right to return. tobias@tmfilmpro.com http://www.ebay.de/itm/-/291577743829?

Oconnor 1030 D fluid head - 3129 USD, 2499 Euro, plus postage, plus - for Europe - VAT. Previous model. No handgrip/handle, 150mm base. It is in full working condition functioning like new, but definitely has signs of use. I bought it in 2009 for heavy ENG equipment and used it for my productions only (no rental). I´m selling because it is too heavy for most of my applications now as I have downsized most of my gear. The dovetail was not used at all as I had my own custom made Sachtler europlate system put on instead (like on Sachtler Video 18). Mail me if interested (700.- extra). The counterbalance wheel has a lot of friction but was like this when new, too. Panning and tilting is way smoother than most other fluid heads. 14 day right to return. tobias@tmfilmpro.com

Angenieux Cinestyle 11.5x5.3 superb sample This is a real Angenieux film lens which was modified for digital cinematography (2/3 HD). Can be used with a S-35 adapter or a S-16 adapter (on sale, too) for the latest one chip cameras. I bought it in 2006, my German dealer turned down 3 samples and gave me the 4th one after he had seen the measurement protocols (I had ordered on the premise that my lens would be as good as the demo lens). Price was 18 600.- net. It is really an excellent, selected sample, very sharp and great colours. The colour separation and reproduction and build quality IMO puts to shame the Canons and Fujinons, and the iris has 8 blades for nice sunstars. It has the famous Angenieux qualities from the film (not video!) lens department. Angenieux stopped production because they said they´d not earn enough from it. Complete with sunshade, all covers, meter scale and unused feet scale. The lens has signs of use on the body, but the lenses and the lens system is clean apart from some minute oil droplets in the periphery of one lens which is not visible on the images and a phenomenon I know from Zeiss, too. The zoom ring is a bit dry but the focus ring is perfectly velvety smooth. I price the lens accordingly so an extra service could be afforded. I sell it because I´m on S-35 now and always have to keep the weight down. Between the short wideangle and the Canon 18x28 the Angenieux has become somewhat redundant. One producer commented that in a 6 team project my lens was clearly the best wideangle zoom... 6999.- EURO NET plus postage from Germany with dhl. tobias@tmfilmpro.com

Hello, I put up on ebay some rare specialty items from my past film times. Located in Germany. Elite S-16mm/T1.3 first rate superwideangle lens Ebay item no. 290756355997 Abakus Scientific B4 to S-16 132 Converter AWESOME Ebay item no. 290756343936 Tobin Milliframe Controller TMC for Arriflex SR etc. Ebay item no. 290756334608 Canon 150-600L with universal mount and Nikon F, Canon EF and Pl mount adaptors Ebay item no. 290756280221 Elite S-16mm/T1.3 first rate superwide Optically first rate superwideangle by Elite Optika (St. Petersburg, www.optica-elite.com). No. S98207P02. Front lens minty with some very tiny cleaning marks (hard to see and invisible in images). Rear lens very good with one small damage far outside the image circle (16:9). Lenses very clean and clear, very little dust. Mechanically usable, but could really use a good service - 0.5mm play between front- and rear part of housing, aperture ring with little friction except between T2 and T1.3 - stiff there. Focussing ring with a lot of friction, a bit dry. The lens gives extremely sharp images with clear blacks under difficult backlit conditions. Wonderful sun star. Very good edge performance. Elite claims a resolution of 200Lp/mm for the center and 140 Lp/mm for the edge. List price new for the successor models 6.6mm 3400.- Euro, 8mm 2450.- Euro. First rate affordable superwides remain rare. This is one. A modern lens, completely unlike old N16 wideangles!!! Abakus Scientific B4 to S-16 132 Converter Converts 2/3 HD B4 lenses to pristine S-16. Superb quality, a selected sample. Optically like new. Some signs of use on the body. Bought in 2009 and used on 3.5 rolls of film. It´s the latest HD version of the converter! The quality is awesome and just blows away most S-16 zooms if you use a good HD lens. I checked it with the Canon 18x28 and saw no quality difference in the Chrosziel projection with or without converter. Tobin Milliframe Controller TMC for Arriflex SR etc. The fantastic variable speed unit which gives quarzed speeds up to the milliframe on Arri SRs and other cameras. With Fisher plug. Around 550 USD new, out of production, very rare. Technically in perfect conditions with some signs of use. Canon 150-600L with universal mount and Nikon F, Canon EF and Pl mount adaptors The legendary supertelezoom, allegedely only 1050 samples were built, most of which went into the film industry (where they were only superseded by the 75 000 USD 12kg Angenieux 24-290 with 2x extender). It was the most expensive FD lens ever built. SN 10565. The body shows strong signs of use, the front lens is in very good condition with faint cleaning marks, the rear lens is mint, was always protected by inbuilt filter. Internal lenses with some dust and cleaning marks. I had the inner system cleaned by the official FD service in Germany about 10 years ago and did not use the lens very much since. The mechanical system - aperture, zoom and focussing is faultless and operation is very fast. Image quality is very good, very sharp pictures from open aperture, very little improvement with stopping down (tested on a 10MP FourThirds Chip, corresponding to 40MP or 8K Full Frame 36x24mm). This sample is so much better than a second one I tested and resolves at 500/5.6 much better than my Sigma 50-500 stopped down 1.5 stops. The Sigma image looks more contrasty on first sight (rough edge contrast) but the fine details are totally smeared and unsharp. With the Canon I add a bit of contrast in postproduction and the images are perfect and highly resolving. Contact me for image samples. I sell the lens because I now use a small Canon HD zoom which is better for wildlife filming on location. Specialties: - Custom made universal mount, top quality Made in Germany by Mr. Dresel, 60mm focal flange universal mount (an expensive transformation from FD!), a Canon FD chrome ring attaches the adapters superbly. Comes with Nikon F custom made adapter, an Nikon F - Canon EF adapter, and a custom made PL mount adapter. Other adapters can easily be made as the lens was transfered to 60mm focal flange. - Bottom plate was reinforced with aluminum plate. - Small hole in the sunshade - Small hole in the body, closed by tape. Through this hole a small screw which moves in the zoom curve can easily be tightened occasionally which otherwise can become loose and damage the optics (which happened). Ingenious. Regards, Tobias

My link Panasonic AJ-HDX900E with BW viewfinder AJ-HVF21G EUROPEAN VERSION! I am the first owner, camera was bought in 2006, was never rented out. Strong signs of use, but technically without fault. Has never let me down, not even at -40°C. Image quality is simply more beautiful than the average Sony - many DoPs agree on that. DVCProHD is official format of the London Olympic Games 2012! I sell because for my next projects the camera is simply too heavy. Operation 1010h Drum running 540h Threading 19722 The viewfinder was probably used less than 50 hrs, mostly I worked with an external monitor.

My link ebay item 290694126940 located in Germany Arri SR 2 Special package: SR3 registration pin, small video assist, optional: Tobin MFC/Elite 7mm/1.3 /Abakus HD-B4 to PL S-16 adapter Arri SR2 No. 63753 S-16 used but technically excellent with very low mileage, very good steadiness and very silently running! Specialties: - SR3 registration pin installed in 2006 by GeckoCam Munich, camera has a very good steadiness (about 1/800 image height and width) both at 25 and 100F/s. - !!!! Arri Wideangle Eyepiece (from BL4) - absolutely superb eyepiece, essential for S-16! - Buy with an option on the fabulous Tobin Milliframe Controller for 450 Euro extra - all frame rates quartz controlled. - Buy with an option on an optically excellent 7mm/1.3 Elite lens for 990.- Euro extra. Excellent and affordable superwides like this one are extremely rare. - Option on excellent, selected Abakus Converter B4 HD 2/3 to PL S-16. Image quality of HD lenses is transferred to S-16 almost lossless with phase correction and bigger image circle. 1000.- Euro. More details: I bought the camera 12 years ago minty from ZDF (German TV), where it had only be used for small staff schooling projects. I only shot about 4000 Minutes of film with it. Never rented out. Very good techical condition, always serviced. - Very low mileage for an SR2!!! No worn out rental camera. - Denz S-16 modification from 2004 (www.denz-deniz.com). That is, a new S-16 mirror instead of a modified curve for the movement. That combined with good servicing and an SR3 registration pin allows to use the camera with 100F/s occasionally, without needing a much louder and less reliable HS SR. - Denz focussing screen 1.78 and 14:9 marks, about 2 stops brighter than the Arri screen (Denz claimed). - Denz 70:30 beam splitter (70%viewfinder, 30% assist) - Custom made videoassist, with an optical system integrated in the handgrip and a very small camera, powered via the SR. Not for critical work but ok for occasional use with a crane/remote. Arri SR VAs should fit, too, if you take of the handgrip and attach the Arri system. - All magazines have been modified like P+S Munich does. I had never had an issue with scratches etc. since. - A very silent camera! Includes: Everything on the pictures apart from the 7mm lens. - SR2 body - 5 mags S-16 modified, one with a HS pressure plate, with new friction felts, 2 metal spools each, 4 plastic caps - Arri VSU with a modified, better Potentiometer for more stable variable speeds (I recommend the Tobin MFC though, as it gives quartz control) - Arri SR viewfinder extension -2 Arri chargers type NCL SR3 2 batteries, have to be recelled - I only use Vmount Li batteries which are compatible with HD cameras - adapter piece battery to camera - arri bellows vintage - support rods - Arri handgrip without release - Videoassist custommade with optic and aperture integrated into the handgrip - 2 BNC cable, about 25m each, for remote applications (not pictured).

Hello, is anyone interesting in teaming up with me for Arriflex 3 3perf conversion? If four people or so were interested, I´d ask Bruce from arandafilm My link again for 3perf conversions. Should be around 4000USD per camera. He´d have to order parts or make tools to make them, so officially arandafilm is not doing 3perf anymore, only 2perf, which is too restricted for my use because I am mainly interested in 1.78.

"The Fox and the girl" - lenses, film stock used
Tobias Mennle replied to Tobias Mennle's topic in General Discussion
ups, correct English title is "The fox and the child". -
Watching the bluray of "The Fox and the girl" (2007) I was struck in awe how fantastic the images looked. Amazing colours and bokeh. Anybody out there who knows about lenses and film stock they used? Apart from Angenieux 24-290 they must have used lenses with an oldfashioned six bladed aperture - Zeiss standards or superspeeds? Fuji stock??? How did they make it look so gorgeous? (Shame the plot is not convincing). There are also about 5 minutes of HD footage which look significantly worse than the rest...
