Overview

A comprehensive guide to a highly popular movie camera, the Arriflex 35 Book details the simplicity and complete interchangeability of the ARRI 35mm system, the wide range of lenses, accessories and after-market products available, and how they may all be used and serviced. The new edition has been completely revised to include a wide range of updates, retrofits and especially camera accessories. The book features exploded view drawings and photographs of every camera and accessory, with technical specs. It discusses every aspect of prep, use and maintenance.

The Arriflex 35 Book also includes an appendix listing frequently needed reference information such as camera and magazine weights, magazine tensions, flange focal distances, fuse numbers, and a directory of Arriflex dealers and after-market product manufacturers worldwide.
