Sorry , I have not used this on any camera. My SR is not compatible. It should have the same result as using the 35mm Arri eyepieces on an SR2 , gives you a wider frame of the ground glass and no vignetting of the frame lines.

This eyepiece is in excellent shape.

Originally part of a DALSA package but works on any ARRI with the bayonet mount ..... ie ARRICAM.

Asking $450 US , located in Canada.

Dom Jaeger helped me out with a similar problem here:

http://www.cinematography.com/index.php?showtopic=54624

Not sure if the T bar has the same internals as the J bar but it was not too difficult.

I am looking for an SR2 main circuit board in working condition, ( or lower half of body with board ). Not sure if the SR1 board would work. TIA.

Looking for a main circuit board for an SR2, must be in working order.

Will consider an SR1 board but prefer an SR2 board, also would consider base of camera with board if available.

Good luck with the viewfinder.

Mission accomplished, thank you very much !

Thanks Dom. I'll change that in my profile. (Paul Mitcheltree)

That info is great, appreciate your help. I will try to sort it out tomorrow now I know the larger screws are not part of the solution. Must be hot in Melb now ( I used to live in Tassie ).

I usually hit sharpie with methyl hydrate first ( methyl alcohol or meth spirits ).

That will wipe it fast and does not harm your skin.

Another tip is cleaning LCD monitors with water and isopropyl alcohol (rubbing alcohol) in a 50/50 mix , very effective.

Would appreciate any tech suggestions for this problem that I would like to repair.

( I now have a spare J-bar which works fine so I am keen to try and fix this misaligned one ).

The image through the viewfinder is canted at 45 degrees and always stays at the same angle when you swing or tilt the J-bar.

I have removed the prism 'H' and can see down the tube and it appears that prism 'D' is out of alignment.

I now understand that the eight small allen screws 'A' adjust the tension to allow the Jbar to rotate loose/stiff.

(not sure what screw 'C' does yet... but it is not part of the problem AFAIK )

I am wondering if I remove the 4 larger cheesehead screws 'B' will it let me slide the large piece 'K' with most of the optical guts attached to it out of piece 'J'.

Thanks for any tips you can pass along.

Yes, I know I'm an optimist but I do have decent tools and have repaired a few Arri 16/35 camera problems in the past, mostly mechanical as electronics are not my forte. ( Wish they were as I have a sick SR2 running fast/offspeed. )

Perfect, I know where to get one. Thanks !

I heard there is a library of camera manuals here, did not find it yet.

Specifically I am looking for SR1 or SR2 exploded views showing mechanical parts etc.

Thanks in advance.

found it ! ......... it's in Canada . ( the US site sucks big time. Try to find it there - good luck ! )

I have been in various SONY websites and they are not easy to find a download for the PD 170 manual.

Canon is a lot more user friendly. why is Sony so bad ?

even a search for DSR PD170 is no help at all on Sony.com, industrial, broadcast, you name it.

anyone have a link ? TIA

Time code error? See page 121 of http://www.arri.com/infodown/cam/manu/435adv_e.pdf

Yes, I saw those when I started looking. This is FE 2 as we had it again when the power cable was intermittent. I will ask Arri for a list. tnx

I am using a 435 Extreme and am looking for a list of error codes.

There are none listed on any Arri tech websites.

The error I had displayed was FE 02 , camera power was interrupted.

Resetting the power on/off switch fixed it.

Arri does not have an Extreme pdf download manual listed yet.

Does anyone have a list of all the error codes for these cameras ? Tnx

Been a few years since I used one, another a/c asked me if there is a fuse on the 16mm Aaton XTR body and where.

There is no mention of it in the pdf manual I downloaded.

tnx. PM

The plot thickens.......... Martin emailed me from Sydney Panavision:

>> Thanks for the heads up.

I think the seller may have the wrong details - BL 36050 is currently sitting on our shelf in Sydney - I've just seen it with my own eyes!

Martin. <<

PERA still lists # 36050 as stolen from Pana Sydney with 3 x 400ft mags in 2002.

I guess they got it back !

His 2 listings on ebay have disappeared........

I asked the seller why his camera was sitting on the shelf in Sydney.

Wonder why he hasn't replied. :lol:

>> I kind of doubt it's stolen equipment- I think there is NO equipment. <<<

Yes , this is possible, but a few more facts:

Camera is in Bali......... serial number matches stolen BL4 from Panavision Sydney.

If he ripped off the photo ( obviously he did ) then he also looked for a stolen serial #.

Not too bright either way.

There are lots of Aussies in Bali.

Panavision Sydney hopefully have contacts there who can drop in and inspect the goods (if they exist) ....... lucky lad.

Yes, it is a scam.......... Please DO NOT contact seller for reasons below.

Camera was stolen from Panavision Sydney, and they have been informed.

When I know more I will post here.

Just saw this on ebay..... offshore, no address.

Anyone missing a BL4 ?

.... seems too good to be true.
