Get in touch with Martin first before sending footage in. martin.mcglone@kodak.com

Thanks Daniel!

Fascinating! Great looking footage. I sent the link to a glassblower friend of mine. Thank you for sharing!

Thanks Mark, much appreciated! We used Vision 3 200T stock, straight forward processing at Kodak London. The footage was shot 3perf and then cropped top and bottom, which helps let the analog shine through. When color grading each shot, I had a specific red/green palette in mind and let the rest fall into place. This resulted in a slightly off-realism look.

Happy to report that we won Best Cinematography at the Vaughan Int'l Film Festival. https://www.vaughanfilmfestival.com/copy-of-18-winners

The camera mount looks identical to the one on my 2C. It's a BNCR conversion.

In the end I did buy a 25mm Zeiss CP.3. I left my house to walk around Camden Town, just to see how easy it would be . Just me, the Arriflex 235 and the CP.3 with an LMB-25 and a camera bag. Great little lens. I look forward to the summer.

WANTED TO BUY. I am looking for an Arri LC-D1 cable as part of a configuration to do iris ramps with the Arriflex 235. Arri doesn't have them in stock anymore and I have not been able to find any used ones yet. Hoping that someone here might have one for sale?

Thank you Will!

You asked me if I had an Arricam LT and I answered. Herman Verschuur is selling an Arricam LT https://www.cameramarket.eu/equipment.php?type=dicam_35mm

In the Long run it is cheaper to own than to rent and you are a less dependent. The LT is extremely quiet. Can barely hear a thing.

I was lucky to buy my LT 3perf package two years ago for £7k in great condition. Added two 1k mags and a couple of steadicam mags for a further £2k. 9 months ago I did sell one of the most complete and pristine Arriflex 416 Plus packages for £11.5k. Today that would probably fetch more than double that. But hey, hindsight is 20/20 vision. Got a 3perf 235 and 435Xtreme instead. I'll hang on to my cameras to shoot a feature film, however long it will take to pull that off. Let's just hope the film trend keeps going for a little while longer... And here's a little bit of camera porn.

There are very few 3 perf LTs left on the market, if any, and the prices will only go up in my opinion.

Thank you for the link. I did a search before posting but obviously missed this one. Tomorrow I will be receiving a CP.3 and shoot some tests at the weekend. I'll share the results when they're in.

Excellent! Thank you for the link! Looks terrific.

Thanks Aapo, that's an interesting suggestion. I actually want to stay away from glass that might have too much distortion. This afternoon I looked at a CP.3 and I have to say that they are surprisingly light. Very tempting.

That second link looks like they copied the design of a Ronford-Baker heavy duty tripod. The price is very low, especially since it includes the spreader. I have no experience with with Proaim's product but when something looks too good to be true...

Thanks Robyn! I'll check with Sigma. The matte box looks and sounds super light indeed.

Thanks Robyn! Is the Sigma zoom compatible with analogue cameras? I've got an Arri LMB-25 matte box. Is the Zip Box Pro lighter?

Thanks Tyler, that is interesting to know. It is difficult to find 35mm footage shot with the modern lenses you mention online. Sorry to hear about the college kid know-it-all.

Thanks Bruce. The project will stretch over a period of time and depend on the weather. I need the lens to be on standby and renting would be too limiting. Hey Dom, I just had an email from Zeiss (on a Sunday!) and they confirmed that the CP.3s were designed to work with analog cameras. I'll pick up one of those and will post the results when I've got them.

Still too heavy. A 20 or 25mm mm single prime lens would work well. But thank you for your comment.

With a budget of £3k I am looking for the lightest PL mount lens available to take my 235 on a walkabout through London. Ideally the lens would weigh at around 2.2 pounds (1kg) or less. Ultra Primes etc. are unfortunately not within my budget. Zeiss compact primes weigh that much but I am not sure how they perform with analogue film. Weight is the main issue here. I've used my MP once but it was all a bit front-heavy and very exhausting ? Any recommendations would be most welcome. Thank you!

Cheers Phil, thank you for your comment!
