Been to look at a SR3 advance, looks OK for a ex rental only thing is the eye cup with heater switch is loose and spins round (don't know if this can be tightend) and it has a little square ivs that's only black and white. What do you guts think. Comes with 3 timcode mags too

Ye it is esbroadcast, thanks for the information. :)

 

Hi,

I've owned a Arri Sr2 (miss it), Aaton a-minima (miss it) and now a Arri 416 (love it). I got the 416 from Arri rental UK and I'm happy with it. It sure looks used but I feel good about buying from rental companies since they kind of depend on having their cameras working to keep in business. They also had the camera cleaned and tested before shipping.

 

I guess it's ES Broadcast you're talking about? I've bought some lenses from them and would not hesitate to buy a camera from them, especially if they offer a warranty. Then you'll have some time to test it in various situations and any faults should hopefully be noticed.

Also since you're in the UK you have the advantage of being able to inspect in person.

 

I'm sure there are cheaper options, but the more recent cameras are still not insanely expensive but I use a different kind of logic when it comes to getting analog equipment (the logic of money loosing passion) compared to digital (the logic of get income for food, shelter and analog cameras).

 

Good luck and have fun!

Hey guys, been offered a SR3 Advanced from a company that buy them direct for arri rental UK. I'm thinking it will have been serviced regularly.

Thanks for the advice Gregg.

Hey Matej, I'm just waiting to hear back from another member on a Aaton. thanks for the offer I'll keep you in mind.

Luckily I get 50% discount on stock and a student discount on processing\telesync so that's a decent slice of the cost. I'm aware shooting film is not as cost effective as digital, I'm experimeting with film for personal projects and to learn.

Thanks for the replys guys

Hey guys,

I'm looking to purchase a Super 16 camera. I'm a film student in Leeds (UK) and don't have a huge budget so any recommendations would be appreciated.

Thanks

Ash.

Hello, Im trying to find somewhere to rent a super 16 (SR2/SR3/XTR) camera and lens for a experimental film module at film school (1-2 days). i'm based in leeds and the only places I can see are in London which is too far for me to travel. Anyone point me in the right direction?

Thanks
