Hello everyone, I thought I'd post this here and see if others with more experience could give me their input on this. I've found an Arri 435 ES (4-perf) camera package for sale that I'm extremely interested in purchasing. Film is something I've sorely wanted to learn for years now and I think this could be a great opportunity. The package is going for $6000 and includes the following: 1 Low Bridge 1 8" balance plate rods 6 400' magazines 1 Ground glass 535 AlB 1V square 1 Mask Arri glow 535/435 1V 1 2:35 ground glass 1 2:35 Arri glow mask 1 1:85/1:37 ground glass 1 1:85/1:37 Arri glow mask 1 1:85 1V ground glass 1 1:86 Arri glow ground glass 1 Heated eyecup: 435 2 step 1 Finder support 535/435/16SR-3 1 Operating handgrip 1 Arriglow module: 435 1 Worklight 1 Remote control, Universal: RCU 1 Shoulder set S-4 435 1 Cushion F/435 w/steadicam 1 Follow focus mech only w/right focus knob, right focus knob ext, prime &zoom gears, short ff ext 1 13.5 fiex shaft w/knob 1 38" fiex shaft w/knob 1 Bridgeplate w/15mm rods 1 6.6 MB-14 matte box set 1 CCD optic module 1 lntergrated video module 4 1 24v plug on module 1 65' extension cable for RCU 1 Finder extender 1 Focus crank 1 Mask set, 18-180mm lenses 1 Flex shaft: grad filters 1 Reflex prevention ring for 10mm Zeiss w/158mm diameter 1 138mm filter ring w/rubber sleeve for Angenieux 25-250 HP w/125mm diameter ​1 Studio follow focus FF-3 w/15mm bridge plate 35mm format 2 435 power cables 1 Heater eyepiece cable 1 25' RCU-1 cable-spare
