F5: Spotted At Superbowl

I saw an SR3 Advanced on Ebay the other day with like $3900 as a buy it now. I miss those cameras too. So easy, compact.

Back in '97 or so when I was an AC in Indianapolis I worked a couple Colts games as a loader. Vaguely fun loading film on the sidelines, even though I couldn't care less about football. One guy was even shooting an old in-house Arri 16M for some reason.

In particular, I remember the NFL Films guys were so chill and nice, had drinks with them later. They told us stories of the multiple Rank telecines in-house, and the multitudes of SRs and Arri IIIs NFLF owned. I thought it was so wacky and cool to be self-contained like that.

Let's get back on topic to cameras ;)

I also saw a few Alexa's hand-held, particularly when mobbing the Ravens at the end of the game.

I grew up in Baltimore and still in the area. Go Ravens!

I'm sure that we will see MANY F5, F55s in future games to come. They seem like the perfect camera for this.

I would say yes. They seem well suited. The Arri's are just so heavy... and for such a long event, seems like a lighter shoulder mount camera would be welcome.
