I have a wonderful Arri 35BLII kit which is a member of the family and I love very much. Looking for a recommendation for the nearest (Seattle, WA area) trusted/knowledgable outfit for a "health check" who would still have maintenance parts. Also, many years ago I remember several people who did a PL mount conversion to this camera (mine is the standard Arri mount) and every time I bring this up recently everyone tells me, "Don't do it!" Probably too much money to throw down the well but is there anyone left with the ability to do this well . . . and not turn the camera into a machined paperweight?
Thanks for your input in advance.
