  1. Dear friends,

    I have a set of Speed Panchros S2 and S3.
    (still searching for a 50mm S2 btw - if you have one for sale, please let me know!)

    I found a really nice guy who has two 75mm lenses:  One series 1 and one series 2 lens.

    At first I thought, it's clear and I take the series 2 lens, it will fit better into the set.
    But the glass has a lot of yellow and there are zwo small 'bubbles' in the front glass.

    That's why I would like to ask you: Is there any reason why I should prefer the series 2 lens?
    Does it have a bigger image circle / better coverage? Is the glass of the series 1 #worse' than the one of series 2 etc.?
    Please let me know if you have any thoughts about that. 
    Thank you very much! ?

  2. Hello friends,

    I have a question regarding the 'yellowing' of Speed Panchros S2.

    Especially the 75mm lenses have quite a strong yellow tone in the glass. I know, people put it in the sun, under some nail polishing UV light, an IKEA lamp etc. 

    But if I have the chance to get a 75mm S1 lens in good condition without the yellow tendency instead - shouldn't I decide for that one?

    In other words: is there any advantage of the series 2 lens or should I chose the better lens?

  3. Hi,

    I have a Denz VCSC digital 2000 that I would like to use with an Arriflex SR2 (I posted another topic). 

    Unfortunately I don't get a signal from the BNC. Do I need to covert the signal somehow? I have a BNC to HDMI converter, but it didn't work either.. 

    Yours,

  4. Hi,

    I got a booklet from Denz. Obviously this video assist was designed for the SR3, but I have the SR2. The top flange is different but the hole for the video assist is the same. Does anyone remember anyone who used a SR3 video assist for a SR2? ? I think it can't be very hard to modify the video assist's mounting part, which is designed as a kind of top handle grip. I think it should be possible to screw a few new holes and mount it on top of the camera.. does anyone have experience with that? Anyone of the old school? ?

    yours,

  5. Hi there,

    I got a Denz VCSC digital 2000 video assist that I would love to use with my Arriflex SR2.

    The Arriflex has a mount for a Denz Video assist, but it seems to me that it was a different model, because the mount on the camera is round and the one of the video assist is square.. I attached a few fotos, does anyone have an idea how I can solve this problem? ???

  6. Hi,

    Thank you for all the answers of my last topic. 

    Now I have a question regarding the viewfinder of my SR2. There are some dirty spots in the frame when I look through it. The lens is clean so it must be the viewfinder. How can I clean it? Can I open / unscrew it from the body? Any recommendations? ?

    Thanks for reading,

    D.C.

  7. Hi there,

    I am new here, hello! ?My first question is about an Arriflex SR2 mag I just bought. I have a SR2 that was moified for S16 long time ago. Now I would like to know what modification I would need to do to use a normal SR mag with my camera. Is it only the pressure plate or are there any other modifications that I need to go through? I read somewhere that the tunnels must be widened but I dont really see why because the material is the same, isn't it? ?

    Yours, D.C.
