Then just don't buy it. This forum has really become a troll-farm - I'm out.

Junior is just trolling again Simon 🙂

The ARRI lens profile is for their 35mm cameras, where the mirror sits closer to the PL mount. The 16mm cameras have more clearance, and the Aaton even more than the ARRI SR series, so you'll be fine.

This is why you can't use certain 16mm lenses on 35mm cameras, even when the image circle would be big enough.

It is no problem if you don't want to reply, David. But this is a discussion forum, and questions or discussion should stand on their own and not be based on prejudice about the person. Everyone can't pull out $70K or $125K of their pocket and buy a scanner on demand. 

David, when I do a Google image search for you, I see you have a pitiful online representation. Sure, it does not say everything about it...but it says a lot.

Well Junior,  I did reply to your thread and sent you the link to the sub 400€ Raspberry Pi 16mm film scanner, that outperforms the Moviestuff scanner by a lot, and if you would be really interested in the topic, you'd be all over this project and building one yourself. I did not see that. Hence me questioning your motives.

Concerning how much my work shows up on google image search, I don't care much and don't understand why I should 🤷‍♂️

But your list of institutions that have a collection of your archival work is truly impressive. I myself, could never make sense of your curation and selection process.

According to the ARRI envelope, it's within, so it should be safe, as the envelope itself has an additional clearance to the mirror and focusing screen

I'm not so sure about that. Dan has been starting these provocative threads for several years now. I don't believe he has any plans to buy a "big boy" scanner (as he likes to call them), as many people have explained to him ways of making the ownership of one of these scanners possible (leasing, selling some services on the side to cover payments, etc).

Neither do the vendors believe Daniel Teoli is going to purchase one, that's why they stopped replying to his hundreds of questions. I wish people here would also stop replying to his clickbaity threads.

Thank you Uli for the shout-out, and thank you @alexandre favre for letting me measure your Arriflex 2C.

I modified the part, so it should also work for 400ft mags, but I would need to check the dimensions again on a physical 2C, as there were some differences between Ull's and Alexandre's 2C.

Do you want to rent a 16mm or 35mm camera?

ARRI London

The Unit Bag

Cameraworks

MCX Films

Emmyland

etc

You might want to call them first, as they might not rent their gear to visitors, or to people with no film camera experience.

I think your gas mask has a leak Aapo 😵

what a silly remark Aapo

...with a sneak peek at their new camera development:

this is wonderful, I love that you mounted it on a cutting board 🤩

maybe late, but very informative. thank you!

I love your designs Aapo, reminds me of Apollo era hardware 😍 🚀

just out of curiosity, where did the brand new cameras come from? Did ARRI get rid of the last new old stock? I've seen a brand new ARRI 435 Extreme in their certified pre-owned store recently, and wondered why they don't keep it for their rental service.

@Daniel D. Teoli Jr. have a look at Friedemann's post, where he builds a Raspberry pi board for a 12 bit 4K frame scanner:

https://www.filmvorfuehrer.de/topic/31851-challenge-framescanner-für-350€-bauen/page/15/#comment-398126

For now he used a S8 projector, but plans to also document to use his board with a 16mm Bauer P8 projector. His personal website:

Didn't know, thanks Marc

Most of them ran at 500 fps, that's 32 seconds of footage with a 400 ft roll. Considering the camera has to come up to speed first, I'd say maybe half of that, so 16 seconds for a 400ft roll.

I watch this maybe once a year - it's marvelous high speed footage (mostly 16mm) that documented various engineering aspects during a shuttle launch

Get a 10bit log DPX scan of your negative and adjust the contrast to your liking. Alternatively print your negative onto a high contrast fine grain print stock and scan that one.

You can download the technical datasheets from Kodak's website.

you have stronger fingernails than I do ? but I agree, I felt uncomfortable using the screwdrivers to press the rollers in - two plastic cards maybe ?
