I am selling a full 35mm camera package in wonderful condition. It comprises an Arriflex 35BL camera, an Angenieux 20-120mm lens and lots and lots of accessories. All the additional items were purchased separately in the last couple of years and are worth thousands of dollars. The total value of the items easily surpasses $15k. Instead of selling them separately and probably making more than that, I prefer to sell everything as a more or less complete package (saving some time but losing some money in the process). The buyer will be able to use the package right away on their next 35mm projects without hunting down left and right for hard-to-find accessories. On top of everything, I will add some free recanned 35mm film from a feature we shot this winter (details below). So:
ARRIFLEX 35BL camera
- sync sound, legendary 35mm camera in EXTREMELY GOOD condition
- BNCR mount - because this mount is isolated phonically (same as PL), you don't need the cumbersome sound blimp of other BL packages which feature Arri or Arri-B mounts; also BNCR is the strongest camera mount out there suitable for a huge inventory of superb, cheaper BNCR lenses; camera mount cap included
- 1-100 fps capabilities - it features 4 pull-down claws and dual registration pins, making this Arri one of the few "regular" cameras able to shoot up to an incredible 100fps
- it features an Academy/TV ground-glass which has been custom laser-brightened
- bright, clean viewfinder with 6.5x magnification
- everything working perfectly: movement, optical system, motor etc; clean shutter and ground-glass (pictures of the shutter and movement included)
MAGAZINES
2 400' magazines and 2 1,000' magazines, each coming with a throat protector which were bought separately; the 2 400' magazines came with the camera, the 2 1,000' magazines were bought from Visual Products; all working flawlessly; I can also offer about two dozens 35mm film cores if you need them
MAJOR ACCESSORIES
- black and white video-tap with iris and focus adjustments
- Otto Nemenz "DigiTach" digital tachometer
- long viewfinder extension with built-in ND filter
- variable speed control (1-50fps)
- remote on/off switch
- Arri base plate for 15mm rods (distanced 100mm apart)
LENS
- Angenieux 20-120mm F2.6 (T2.9) Zoom Lens in BNCR mount; it is a fast, very sharp zoom lens in superb optical condition (the paint has some scratches but the optical condition is top-notch, clean glass, extremely smooth zoom and focus operation)
- it features both focus and zoom rings, industry-standard pitch
- rugged design and construction
- it is an excellent Angenieux lens, one of the sharpest lenses made by Angenieux; because of that it can be easily used as a variable prime, which we have constantly done with amazing results (with its speed, a larger front element and almost no breathing, it is much, MUCH better than the 25-250 version);
- the image included is photoshopped in that it shows the same lens three times to save space (side, front element, back and lens mount)
- for reference, Visual Products sell the lens in B-mount for $3,250.
OTHER MISCELLANEOUS ACCESSORIES
- two extra ground glasses - one Academy/TV and one TV/1.66 widescreen in its own box
- 5 Arri fuses for the 35BL (never had to replace one but it's good to have them as spare)
- special PDP-38 lubricating oil (recommended for the BL1) - 5 recipients to last many years
- 2 camel hair brushes for cleaning the magazines (one soft and one hard)
- Arri aperture cleaner ("orange stick")
- Arri tweezers
- Film Tools blunt scissors for cutting the film in the dark or inside the tent
- Film Tools air pump
- Film Tools Q-tips
- small grey card
- 4 small 35mm film rolls and 1 larger 35mm film roll for practicing loading and threading in daylight
TENTS, BARNEY
- I am including a barney for the camera when shooting in extremely tight spaces, covering both the camera (almost up to the lens) and the magazine
- also, two Harrison tents in perfect condition! - one small and one large (with collapsible sticks etc)
FREE FILM!
- yes, we are throwing in free, recanned film from a shoot that took place this winter; it has been kept in the deep freezer for the last month. The recans come from brand new, factory sealed Fuji stock. Its a total of 2,570 feet (about 30 minutes) of the same 35mm stock, Fuji 8552 (F-250) Tungsten 250 and its contents is as follows:
- in 1,000' cans: one with 590' feet, one with 460', one with 260' and one with 260'
- in 400' cans: 1,000 feet divided in three cans, roughly 333' each (we labeled them 300' for the ease of it)
SHIPPING
- everything comes in 4 film-style flight cases, all with new, custom cut foam - as seen in the photo
- the free 35mm film will come in a separate box (it will be kept in the freezer until shipping time)
- you will pay actual shipping, not some inflated amount (for that reason, you don't even have to pay shipping once you pay for the package; I will ship it myself and once the cases arrive, you can see for yourself how much the shipping was and refund me for that; insurance is optional but obviously recommended
I can provide history for the camera, the magazines and the lens. The camera is an Emmy-winning package used previously by a West Coast DP (former deal memo copy included). You will be very happy with this purchase.
Make me an offer and we can start it from there. Please, only serious inquires - I am tired of endless discussions that never seem to reach any conclusion. If you have specific questions, I am more than happy to provide you with my cell number and we can talk about them at any time as long as you are seriously interested.
