  1. in italy and hk they used to use 2c all the time, they shoot MOS, and eveything is dubed. NOw there is new software like vocalalign, you record a scratch track with one of these new little  32 bit float recorders or something similar scheme, and then in post you sync the ADR dialogue  via software, saves a ton of time. Remember if you are shooting MOS, you dont have to lock up the set, no need for big crew of PA's.

  2. Yah, The most difficult thing about re manufacturing a movement, is that there has to be a large demand for it, because the tooling and the time it takes to make one , makes no economic sense. How many LT owners will spend big bucks for a 2 perf movement, how many productions have a demand for it? Arri doesnt do anything in a small way, it will have to be a big commitment for them to start up a production line for two perf.There are so few shoots that need a two perf camera, that the existing stock of 2 perf movements at arri, and Still functioning Penelope's to cover the demand. If an owner operator wanted a two perf camera, converting an arri BL4 is the way to go, since the cost of conversion is reasonable , compared to a more complicated modern movement like the movie cam and the LT's.

     

     

  3. Hi, Yah I have a similar quest. I recently had a oct19 mount made by Steve Morton, from a left over last batch of Oct.19 mounts to Classic Alexa's. C7 offers Oct.19 mounts for Alexa mini and Amira. I have a full sets of Oct.19 superspeed  and standard lens. The cost to convert to PL @$500 each, but with the Russian/Ukraine war, has made it a moot point. I too am waiting for the mini to come down, but Amira prices are dropping, so I can wait.In the mean time prices of Classic Alexa's are dropping below 6k, so when they get below 5k, maybe I will bite,lol. Good luck on the Oct.18 mounts, if you had the dough I would just rehouse them, Moscow workshop is working on new design, and GL optics in china can do rehouse conversions, @$3k each. Big decisions, but these are the options at the moment.
