foreignfilm Posted July 11, 2007 Share Posted July 11, 2007 Hi, I plan to shoot a MOS film. Which camera should get between these two? I know the NPR can do sync sound but the Arri S can't. I used the Arri S before and liked it. But in terms of image-quality, ease of use and weight, which one would better. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Drysdale Posted July 11, 2007 Share Posted July 11, 2007 If you're shooting MOS the Arri would make more sense if you're worried about size and weight. A NPR is a lot heavier, it's also more fiddly to thread and load. Assuming both cameras are operating correctly, the lenses are going make the main difference in image quality.

chuck colburn Posted July 11, 2007 Share Posted July 11, 2007 Some Arri S models were made with a 60hz pilotone generator built in that would allow for "jam" syncing a Nagra or other types of recorders. Not elequant, but doable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Member Tim Carroll Posted July 15, 2007 Premium Member Share Posted July 15, 2007 You can also slap a Tobin TXM-22 into the Arriflex 16S and shoot crystal sync all day long. The Arriflex 16S is light, extremely durable, and very comfortable to hand hold. And if you get an S/B model, you can use the Zeiss Super Speed Mk1 prime lenses. My personal favorites are the Cooke Kinetal lenses for the 16S, which I find a bit more "snappy" than the Zeiss glass. Hope that helps, -Tim 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
