Ain’t that the truth! Only reason I’m selling is to help fund a feature we will shoot in Super 16 next year (I hope!)

I know zero about motion picture shooting, but sweet lord this is just beautiful to look at. It's self-evident...good luck with a sale and your project.

Good luck with your sale and your feature! Shot a few Super 16mm films on an Aaton LTR and had a blast; except for that cherry picker crane shot that nearly killed me!

Wish I had the money to burn, I'd grab it in a heartbeat IF only to put it on a tripod and play with it!

If you don't have any luck here, try advertising over on Cinematography.com in their classifieds. It shouldn't take long to sell this camera over there...

The CFO at home is already complaining at the cost of 35mm (still) and 16mm (cine) and the associated chemistry that I use. If I was able to convince her I needed this gear for home movies she'd really have something to say about the fantastically dramatic increase in 35mm footage and chemical consumption.

ummm

About those shortends though...

Would you be willing to part with them?
