The Arri Book... (stinks)

Not to complain... well, okay to complain.

 

I have always been to told I MUST own "The Arri Book" by John Fauer. That it was the Bible for all Arri owners. Finally I broke down and bought a copy (Version 3). Well imagine my surprise when I got to the IIC section and it was only a few pages... I mean like 5 pages. The III and the BLs got like 100 page each. I know it is an old camera, and not the foundation of the movie business - but to everyone who recommends this book to IIC owners please take a look at what you are recommending! I'm not knocking Mr. Fauer in any way I just wanted more info.

 

That being said, there are some useful bits of general info about other things in the book and I wonder if the IIC has more coverage in any of the older versions. Any have the answer?

5 Pages! you got a bonanza compared to my edition (the first, i think) which has 1 page buried behind the 35-3 section.

 

He mentions the "repair and parts manual for Arri 35-2C" in the bibliography put out by cine press in 1966. good luck finding that!

 

The Carlson's book (prof. cameraman's handbook) is much more helpful with older gear like that.
