Filmshooting

I've got one and its single perf, You could file at the gate because there's no zoom lense on it, so yes.. Sometimes film gets tangled in mine, but when it doesn't it'll produce a very decent image, don't think you'd know it from a k3

Hi there, I've got an Arriflex 400' magazine, got my film ready, realized I don't have another core and cant shoot, there's absolutely nothing on ebay! can anyone help me out thats in the UK? I can send paypal.. thanks.. sorry for posting here I'll delete the thread after but its driving me crazy I ...

hi there I'm wondering what the stability of a core is like oonce in stalled in the 400's arriflex 16 S mag, ive got to shoot in various locations, but only 100 feet at each one, im kinda worried about moving the camera around too much lest the film cone on a core or god forbid fall off should I be ...

a film co cop in London charges 8 pounds to its members and 20 to its non members, so I'd say if you hit around 20 you'd be competitive in London - they don't do by hand though so the results are always really clean but you're right "commercial" processing is expensive. I've seen it under ...

just as another piece of info, contrary to logic, the camera door and camera body actually have the same serial number, the mystery deepens..

CinemanUK - thanks, I've given him a call today

Cameratech - yes you're right the gentleman i spoke to today also says the same thing

kII - do you know of any way to deal with the yellowness and clear it up ? Can I UV bleach it just be leaving it in the sun ?

i forgot to mention, I'm in London, UK edit: after additional testing, if I screw the viewfinder assembly in all the way, and then look through with the lenses not fully pressed into their mounts, I can get a clean image I guess its looking like the lenses are in fact messed up, how much am I lookin...

Hi all, thanks again for the suggestions, yes I do see "something" through the viewfinder, which is a blurry version of what I would expect to see, yes. If it is the lenses thats unfortunate, as I'm sure they're incredible expensive to realign, and I bought the whole set for just over 100 ...

Hi guys, thanks for the answers so far nigel - I might be mistaken, but the arri mount seems super easy, push down 2 buttons and slide in lens ? I'm 99.99% sure I'm putting the lenses on correctly I mean how hard could it be ? lenses are wide open yes, can't seem to get any frame lines though. This ...

is there a follow up to 500t 7219 or is 500t gone forever now ? whats left ?

Hi guys, I'm wondering if anyone can help me, I can't seem to focus through my arri 16 st that I just bought the lenses are on right, and the viewfinder seems to be assembled correctly, nothing looks weird, but i don't have the manual so I'm not sure the viewfinder is really dark, also a bit yellow,...

incase anyone ever has this problem, I've fixed mine by taking off the lens and forcing the shutter a bit to rotate while depressing the trigger button, I think some grease had just gunked up and hardened, it worked perfectly after just pushing it a little bit

also the camera is like new, not a scratch on it, still shiny, and all the accesories were still wrapped in tissue

could it be broken out of the factory ?

when the trigger button is depressed, the single frame button on the back shows some motion as well, like if you put your finger there you can feel it moving

does this indicate anything to anyone ?

I watched the trailer after reading this thread, while I find that it doesn't look too bad for the most part as long as there isn't a lot of movement, its the scenes where even a modest amount of movement like someone pulling a sword out of a sheath etc look extremely silly. Too bad, I bet most peop...
