  1. Hello everyone, selling an Aaton XTRplus Package in great, fully functional condition (see item description below) including ... … - Aaton XTRplus Body | PL Mount, S16, Ser. # 1776 - Standard Viewfinder - Extension Viewfinder - (3x) 400' magazines | coded as A, B and C - Wooden Hand Grip with Run-/Stop-Trigger - Aaton Mattebox - (3x) Batteries | all recently re-celled - Charger | able to charge 3 batteries simultaneously, with discharge function - Short & Long Rods - XLR 4-Pin and other cables - Leather Barney - Manual - Metal Flight Case - Receipt of most recent service - Zeiss Vario-Sonnar T* 10-100 2.8 | Arri B Mount - 3000 feet of Fuji Stock (250D, 160T, 250T, 400T and 500T) … Condition of the camera: The camera has been serviced 1,5 months ago (receipt included) and fully tested. It runs absolutely smooth and it's a pure joy working with it. It has some optical signs of wear (particularly on the hand-grip), but nothing that would negatively affect the perfect operation. Again, this camera works just like new. Condition of the magazines: All three magazines have been tested and run absolutely flawlessly. Condition of the batteries: All three batteries have been re-celled recently and should last between 1 and 2 hours. Condition of the lens: The lens is clean; free of scratches and dust. The gears run smoothly and this lens delivers beautiful sharp images when combined with the Aaton XTRplus, as long as you're ok with standard 16mm (S16 conversion possible). Condition of the 300 feet film stock: Re-cans. Expired, but properly cold stored. Professional use and professionally re-canned by Film Lab North. … Price: 5,000€ or best offer. Shipping within Europe. Images upon request. Thanks, Alex
  2. Hi James, I'm quite interested. Is it possible to get any photos of the original item? Thanks, Alex
  3. hi there, I was wondering if anyone of you has made any experiences with the UCLA Extension Cinematography Certificate Program? It doesn't really bother me that it's a "certificate only" kind of program. What I'm looking for is to engage with all things cinematography on a full-time basis as well as gaining more experience on set. Would love hearing hear thoughts, thanks in advance! Alex
  4. Definitely serviced, hopefully no expensive repairs necessary. Thanks for your input Heikki!
  5. Hi Heikki, thanks for your answer. I did check out the manual. Lets say I turn on the camera and reset the camera the LCD displays what it should, but as soon as I press another button or a combination the numbers displayed become less and less comprehensible. I sold the Arri for a befriended DP, the Minima was mine before I bought the XTR which I intend to keep - as long is functions properly, fingers crossed :p

  7. Hey there, first of all, I'm a total beginner when it comes to shooting film, using film cameras. I bought an Aaton XTR off ebay (I know, risky!) with the intention of learning how to shoot film and eventually shooting more film. So, considering I don't know much yet (I have a DP-friend who regularly shoots film), I encountered the following: after plugging in the battery, the LCD display seems to malfunction. It keeps displaying some weird signs as opposed to proper numbers. Now I don't know if that's my fault (eg. if I'm doing anything wrong) or if it's the camera. I'll have the camera serviced in a couple of weeks anyway, just wanted to check if I it might have to be repaired and if I have to expect to put an extra bunch of money into it. Attached is a picture of the LCD display. Maybe one of you can help me out? Thanks in advance!
  8. hehe great idea! Let's swap your Xtera vs. my XTR then :P
  9. Hi there, just seeing if there is any interest in an original Aaton Wooden Handgrip with Start/Stop-Trigger? I'll post pictures if anyone's seriously interested. I was thinking 500€, but I'm open to offers. best,

  14. Hello everyone, I have a simple question: which adapter should I use when planning to use a lens in Arri Standard Mount on a camera with Aaton Mount? Is a "Arri Bayonet to Aaton" adapter doing the job? I can't seem to find a "Arri Standard to Aaton" adapter. Thanks in advance for your help!
