Thanks all! I am going to shot a personal preojecta with film with an experienced digital cinematographer, so buying a more professional one would be greater.

What is the difference between SR and SR2?

I thought you bought it, already. If you didn't, that's good - you never want to purchase any camera package that is missing essential items. You don't know what other issues the item might have.

 

Have you considered looking at a more basic 16mm package like the Arri-S?...

I have ordered it, but it allows me to cancel the booking and get full refund, lucky.

What's the difference between SR and S?

 

The first one doesn't seem to fit the SR (if you look at the posted questions, it states the systems that it is compatible with) and the second is just an extension - it will be useless if you don't have the viewfinder because the viewfinder gets removed from the camera and is then attached to the extension.

 

Always ask the seller if something is compatible with your system.

oops, then I better not buy the viewfinder missing SR, as I barely find any viewfinder for SR on web.

Thanks for your help!

The viewfinder is critical - you won't be able to see an image without it. Do a search on ebay for "arriflex sr viewfinder." As you can see, it would be attached here:

I search something like this

and viewfinder extension

Which one should I buy? The viewfinder extension says "One tooth is broken off but since it attached to the camera with a screw on ring, it is not affecting the performance" True?

I am a newbie in film, and want to try shooting on film. I order a arriflex 16SR on ebay, and it says "Eyepiece magnifier missing". Photo as follow

Is that eyepiece magnifier important? If so, where can I get that eyepiece magnifier? Seems hard to find one.
