David Rakoczy Posted August 13, 2008 Share Posted August 13, 2008 (edited) Here is an ARRI SR2 regular 16mm, Bayonet Mount, I just saw listed on a different Forum. This looks like a great 'beginning' Package! http://gallery.mac.com/philcormier1#100032...osaic&sel=0 They are asking $7k USD.... potato@maine.rr.com Edited August 13, 2008 by David Rakoczy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Member Adrian Sierkowski Posted August 13, 2008 Premium Member Share Posted August 13, 2008 Wow, David. For a second there I got worried you were leaving the buisness! Looks like a great find though. Pitty I havn't an extra 7K 'round, I could use a 2nd camera for backup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saul Rodgar Posted August 13, 2008 Share Posted August 13, 2008 Looks clean. A S16 conversion of the camera and lenses is likely to be $4K+ though. Unless the buyer prefers R16 ( :blink: ) or is willing to center extract the image for HD content. When I bought my Aaton LTR 3 years ago (for far cheaper BTW), the 16mm market had been decimated by the newly available HD camcorders. I wonder if this is part of the fallout. Not too many clients want to pay for film when they see the cheaper HD picture. The ever-pesky "bottom line". Only a few diehards -us- outside the big leagues still shoot film? Sad!

David Rakoczy Posted August 13, 2008 Author Share Posted August 13, 2008 (edited) Wow, David. For a second there I got worried you were leaving the buisness! NOT A CHANCE!!!!!!!!!! Ya, at first I thought whoa... this thing is gonna be mine! I'd sell the Lenses and use it as a B-camera... but alas mine is Super 16 with PL Mount.. Anyway, yes, it would be a great Package for someone 'breaking in'... like Saul said.. it looks clean. p.s. Adrian... hope my buddy was able to help you with your SR3 Wiring...

Premium Member Tim Carroll Posted August 13, 2008 Premium Member Share Posted August 13, 2008 David, I talked to the owner at length about that camera package when he first put it up for sale about six months ago. I wish he would be more clear in the description. The camera is due for an overhaul, so plan on adding $1000 to $1500 to the cost, and one of the magazines has had the feed spindle sheared off, so that is not usable until it is repaired, which could be costly. It does have three decent zoom lenses with it, but alas, neither the camera, mags nor any of the lenses are Super 16. A similar SRII package with the same video tap, three mags, P+S Technic Super 16 conversion, baseplate, rods, matte box, follow focus, filters (but no lenses), is up on eBay right now, with no reserve, going for $2750 (as of 8/13/08 at 3PM CST), so I think he's going to have a tough time getting $7000 for a regular 16 version. Super 16 SRII on eBay Best, -Tim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
