I’m selling my Arriflex ST Super 16mm camera, the only example I have seen and know of. ARRI made 25 of these cameras for the Super 16mm format back in the 70s. They were offered to their clients but there wasn’t much interest. No others were made.

Arriflex ST Super 16

Arriflex ST Super 16 camera serial number 25
1x 12 Volt 400ft magazine serial number 14337
1x TCS T/M-17 Crystal Motor
1x Arriflex ST constant speed 24fps motor
1x Arriflex ST constant speed 25fps motor
1 Tobin Vary speed motor
1x angled viewfinder
1x coiled power cable to XLR-4 pin

1x original matter box support arm
4x spare mag throat covers
2x 3x3 85 ND.9 filter
1x 3x3 85 ND.3 filter
1x 3x3 ND.6 filter
1x original Arriflex ST transport case
1x Tilta shoulder rig
1x leather carry strap

£7500 (UK buyers please note that VAT will need to be added)

Only the items in the above list are included.

I am also selling seperately a full set of Zeiss Superspeeds Mk1, the lenses that I used with this camera. Contact me if you are interested.

The camera is in excellent condition and works perfectly. I have shot ca. 1500 feet with it, you can see some footage here:

Since I prefer shooting on 35mm I am not using this rare camera any longer. The price is based on the fact that there is only one of these ARRI-built S16 versions remaining (as far as I know). It is a fully functioning camera that is also a collector’s item.
I can issue a company invoice. Buyer pays for shipping and fees.

Thank you @Dom Jaegerand @Robin Phillips! Your insights are very much appreciated!

its always been my impression that theres a little more blue rendition in the standard speeds, but the main thing you get with the ultra primes is the sharpness, even when at T2. granted I havent tested them against each other with charts, but thats always been my impression. the ultras are definitely shaper than the old super speeds wide open

Thanks Robin! You may be right in regards to the blue rendition. I'm planning a short film and would have a complete set of the focal lengths I need if I mix my UPs with my Standard Speeds. Just wondering if that would be noticeable.

Apart from the obvious difference in size, built and mechanics, is there a big difference in character between a Zeiss Standard Speed and an Ultra Prime. I’ve recently shot footage with both and couldn’t really spot any. What do you think? 

I was looking for away to use a modern lightweight matte box on my 2perf 2C PL mount. With the help of @David Sekaninaq this 15mm rod system for upside down mounting was designed and printed. It currently only works with the 200 ft mags. You also need a matte box that allows you to turn the rod mount upside down.

It's a picture but it's more proof of concept than anything else, I might ask the key grip if he has one...

Great, thank you! Good to know it's possible, yay!

I didn't take a proper picture but the Movi XL was the way to go, surprisingly simple to set up even without getting rid of the Viewfinder, no steadi mags etc. 🙂

No picture? What?! Why? 😉

Hi Uli, i’ve seen your kit and it has peaked my interest. But I was hoping to get a dormant 435 up and running again for a fraction of the cost. 
If i don’t succeed i will definitely shoot you a message about your kit! 

Cheers

Understandable. Good luck with it!

Hey thanks for the response, I should have clarified I am looking for ANY movement, 2,3 or 4 perf. 

I saw arri sold off some good packages recently, but I wasn’t aware at the time they were listed. 

I've got an Arriflex 435 Advanced 3perf complete kit for sale. It is in London, originally purchased from ARRI UK.

Hey Uli,

Thanks for the feedback!

The films budget was $7,600. This was achieved as our production company owned most of the camera / audio kit. So, the majority of the budget went on locations, cast and crew.

We originally scheduled 14 days but had to add on a two additional days later for a pickups / reshoot of a couple of scenes and some ADR. The reshoots were needed due to some audio problems as talked about in the article.

Just watched your films on your website. Absolutely loved The Discarded! One of the best shorts I've seen in a long time.

Thanks,
Dan

Thanks Dan, glad you liked it.

I am amazed that you can shoot a feature film for $7600 in 16 days. That's $475 per day for everything, actors, crew, locations?! I'm currently planning a 15 minute short film, can you please put me in touch with your producer? ?

No worries. Hope you like the article Uli!

Hey Dan, very interesting article, thank you for sharing your experiences. Can I ask what the entire budget of the film was? How many shooting days? Hats off for making your own feature films!

Hey Dan, where is the article?

I’ve shot plenty of footage on my 235 with a CP.3 25mm lens. Excellent all round lens for wide and tighter shots. 

Still available. Recently checked by Optical Support in London.

Hey everyone,

 

I'm looking for a 3-perf 35mm system. I don't really care if its MOS or sync sound. I also don't mind any older systems like a 35-iii or BL3/BL4 (if they even come in 3 perf?). I just want to see what's out there!

 

Best,

Thomas Blanks

Sent you a PM.
