Hi, Wow! This is it- you're a life saver! thank you very much! I'll try to order it and let's see what happens. As of now there not taking orders until Saturday.

Tannerite? legally easy to purchased online.

this may be a bit late but possibly useful - I recently graduated from UNLV and our cinematography professor is Michele Hugo asc and through his connections I was lucky enough to learn to shoot on a Panaflex 16mm elaine and panaflex 35mm G2. 16mm in the fall and 16mm and 35mm in the spring semesters. Tuition is relatively inexpensive comparatively speaking and one can learn a great deal. Also you get to go on a work shop to Mole-Richardsons. hope this helps

Thanks brother, appreciate the info! sounds very sensible and something I considered, but of course was trying to make it easier for myself - learning or excepting the fact that cinematography is an art form that demands more than youtube demonstrations is, in the process, a gift in a costume.

hi, Thanks for the reply! Now, if I don't have access to the eclair power cable, what are my choices? Are there any adapters available from the 12v 7 amp big battery to the 4 pin XLR? Well, thanks again for putting my ignorance to rest! giap vu

Hello all, I purchased an ACL on ebay and it appears that the oscillating mirror is slightly worn down. I haven't been able to test the camera as of yet because I don't have a lens or a battery ( does anyone know where I can buy some batteries) but before I invest anymore money I was wondering if this - the slightly filed oscillating mirror - will hamper the image quality. I've included a couple of pictures shot with my iphone for inspection. Thanks in advance for any and all responses! Giap Vu

interesting...Nigeria was colonized by the United Kingdom but she coud'nt speak English although the official language is English?

michael, I think I get it now. I'll do more research before making a decision - although the small amount of investigation I've done so far makes me - weighing the opportunity costs - a bit intrigued by the aaton a-minima; based on cost, function, and future possibilities. thanks! Giap

fran, thanks for the suggestion. wll be my next purchase. giap vu

P.S.: may I ask ? and truly respectful people should have asked you that way earlier, apologies for that ? on what notions your preference for a Super 16 arriflex camera are based in the first place? The first reason would probably have to be because my cinematography professor also has an arriflex, and I was thinking that if I had any technical, as well as aesthetic questions, it would be that much easier for him to help me. My second reason is that next to panavision, arri seems more prolific then the other name brands. So, I guess you can say i am pretty close to being your typical not so very well informed consumer.

Hi, I sort of looked into the Aaton A-Minima, and am a bit impressed, but if I understood correctly, from what I've read, is it mostly a hand held type camera? Also the Arriflex 416 is beautiful but quite out of my ball park.

wow! this was quite a learning experience - I see the passion and am honored you guys took the time to answer my questions. thanks again, Giap Vu

that's ok, I follow in the confusion also. Super 16, yes. Under 10 thousand, hopeful. what do you think?

Hi Bill, thanks for the speedy response! I'm going to film school now and soon will be graduating, so I'll have a lot more time to experiment, and to hone my craft. I was hoping for something that I could eventually use to film a full length, and hopefully use for many years to come. Basically my intent is to become a working cinematographer, so when I make the initial investment on equipment, I don't want to purchase the wrong stuff.

hello everyone, to BUY I mean. well, I'm interested in purchasing an arri S16, and was hoping for some advise. Like for instance, does it matter of the age or year of the camera; and how much should i spend? please help...

hey guys, thanks for the fast response! i will be shooting with kodak vision 200t of little known local vegas - on ext. shots. should I under expose because of the intensity of the light in the desert, and during night ext. will I be able to film the vegas cityscape - neon lights and all? Or should i just press the trigger see what happens? thanks again!

hello all, i'm in need of some advise - i just bought a canon 1014 auto zoom and was wondering what fps i should set the camera at. on the manual it says to set it at 18 fps, but if i intend to telecine, should i set it at 24 fps? Also, what would be the overall difference of image between the two different fps'? I'm also vey new to this, although I am a film student. please help...

i am need of a super 8 camera to start off my practical film education. Any sellers? went to ebay but too much shill bidding going on. please help... :D

the the over subtle blurring was a bit distracting but all in all, good job!
